Since ‚Love In The Time Of Corona‘ was a socially distanced production, many of the roles in the cast are played by the actors‘ own family members.
TV & Movies This unique production took place during the pandemic. While most television productions had to be shut down when coronavirus pandemic hit America, Freeform got creative. According to a press release, the network worked with a handful of actors to film a socially distanced four-episode show called Love in the Time of Corona. The production took place in the actors‘ respective homes and was filmed using remote technology. As a result, several of the roles in the Love in the Time of Corona cast are played by the people who were already around — the actors‘ real husbands and wives and children. Though the series is fictional, its storylines feel very real and relevant to the struggles many people are facing in the pandemic. How do couples who were used to having their alone time deal with suddenly being together 24/7? How do single people still try to meet and date new people? All of those questions and more are addressed in the series, which airs over two nights on Aug.22 and 23. „This is the perfect show for a generation who is learning to love and be loved in a time when the entire world is telling them to stay six feet apart,“ Lauren Corrao, executive vice president of Programming and Development at Freeform said in a press release. Creator and executive producer Joanna Johnson added, „Love is a basic and central need. Finding it in the time of Corona may pose unique challenges, but it won’t stop us from forging great love stories, inspiring grand romantic gestures and profound acts of kindness.
