According to THR ( Hollywood Report ) :
Among the programs that are being shut down are Warners' The Bachelorette, Young Sheldon, Supergirl, Batwoman, Claws, All Rise, Lucifer, Queen Sugar and THR hears Pennyworth and The Flight Attendant; at Netflix, this includes hit Stranger Things and Grace and Frankie. Still, given the rapidly changing landscape as the world grapples with how to handle the evolving situation, it's fair to expect TV production will come to a standstill. WBTV pilots impacted include The CW's Kung Fu, Fox's The Cleaning Lady, Pivoting and untitled Goonies re-enactment, which will all push production until a date to be determined. The CW's The Lost Boys update is currently in production and is scheduled to wrap next week. The CW's Superman & Lois, which was picked up straight to series, will not shoot now as planned but instead push closer to a more traditional show start date in June or July, pending the state of the world. The same is true for Fox's Call Me Kat. Additionally, the final season of The CW's Supernatural has also suspended production.
