  • The pandemic has turned the release schedule of many series upside down.

  • The constraints linked to the health crisis have upset the way of producing series.

  • Our Internet users tell how the Covid-19 has changed our relationship with the series.

The health crisis is also affecting the world of series.

The confinement caused multiple interruptions of filming and even cancellations of series.

As filming resumed, the constraints of the pandemic are prompting changes in the way series is produced.

You can't have 300 extras to play a zombie horde in

The Walking Dead,

for example, warned showrunner Angela Kang at New York Comic Con.

Many writers have also decided to integrate the pandemic into the plots of our favorite series.

If the coronavirus has already changed the production of television works, won't the health crisis change our relationship to series?

Our Internet users respond.

The pre-Covid 19 series, shot before the pandemic, show the world before.

They bring "comfort", estimates François, of the group 20 Minutes Séries, which underlines that "one sometimes forgot to appreciate the chance which was ours to live as before the pandemic.

"" Everything has been so upset in our daily life, that I find it comforting precisely to watch series "where the characters evolve" without masks ", adds Marie, 26 years old.

“Seeing people live normally in the playoffs is reassuring!

“Seeing people live normally in the playoffs is reassuring!

This means that this world has not completely disappeared, ”also confirms Sarah, 32 years old.

And to add: "When you are a single person in an area where the mask is compulsory everywhere, the series are the only means to see whole faces, and therefore to find a little humanity!

"

The view of the spectators on these pre-Covid series, a little out of step with our reality, has changed.

“I can't help but say to myself 'this isn't very Covid friendly!'

With each gesture which seemed normal and which is now "suspect": a hug, a fork stretched out to make someone taste something, "explains Claire-Emmanuelle of the 20 Minutes Séries group.

“Looking back, it surprises me now to see series characters without masks, being close, kissing, etc.

the look has changed, ”confirms Yad, 29.

If the outlook on fiction has changed, consumption has also changed: "Following confinement, I watch more series than before", confesses Irène, from the group 20 Minutes Séries.

"This virus is just one episode in our history"

However, Internet users are not fond of the idea of ​​having masked characters on their screens.

“I don't see why we should see characters wearing masks in the series.

Isn't the mask a temporary medical instrument until the end of the epidemic?

If any of the characters wear the mask is not to induce that the mask will stay on for a very long time or for all the time.

Isn't that also thinking that the Covid-19 epidemic is here for a good time?

No.

I would not watch series that promote the mask, ”defends Patrick, who has not indicated his age.

Same story with Any, 42 years old: "This virus is only an episode in our history as there has already been ... It is a one-off situation which is bound to disappear even if it is hard to live with. so long.

Also the series without a mask are the norm and the mask, the exception ... So apart from the series whose theme is the Covid-19, let's keep our morale up.

"

"Very few series where the actors wear masks"

“In the United States, they take it very seriously and take a lot of measures to protect teams and actors.

We should see very few series where the actors wear masks unless the writers decide to include the pandemic in their story.

When an actor is paid several hundred thousand dollars per episode, we are not going to hide his face!

», Says Emilie, from the 20 Minutes Series group.

The coronavirus has inspired screenwriters and contaminated many series.

It can be interesting and I think it is necessary not to deny the situation in future series.
