The CBS daytime soap, set and filmed in Los Angeles, will begin shooting on Wednesday for the first time since March 17.
The Forresters will be back scheming and sashaying on set on Wednesday when CBS’s soap opera “The Bold and the Beautiful” becomes what is believed to be the first scripted U. S. broadcast series to return to production amid the pandemic.
The Emmy-winning series, which has filmed more than 8,000 episodes since its premiere in 1987, was recently renewed through 2022. Production has been shut down since March 17 because of coronavirus-related restrictions, and the last original episode aired in April.
Of course, it’s unsure when viewers will be able to see the drama unfold, as no air date has been set for the series’ return. But the hope is that it would be in early to mid-July, said Eva Basler, the vice president of communications at Bell-Phillip TV Productions, the studio that produces the series.
