Stranger Things season four, as well as a number of other Netflix shows, have temporarily shut down production after President Donald Trump called a "national emergency" in the US over coronavirus.
Production has shut down on all of Netflix's scripted TV shows and films that were being prepared in the US and Canada.
The fourth season of Stranger Things is currently in pre-production stages, though the worsening coronavirus outbreak means there will be a delay to the show.
Some other titles affected by the growing outbreak include Grace and Frankie, which stars Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda, and Ryan Murphy movie The Prom.
It has also been reported that Netflix employees in California have been asked to work from home.
Other networks and streaming services have said that they will take another look at the situation in two weeks and make more decisions then.
The networks and studios include Disney, ABC and NBC, which have each halted production of a number of shows and films.
Chat shows in the US have gone off air too, with hosts such as Ellen Degeneres, Jimmy Fallon, James Corden and Jimmy Kimmel taking breaks due to the coronavirus.
Disney has pushed back the premieres of a number of upcoming films, including the live-action remake of Mulan and already delayed X-men flick New Mutants.
It was previously confirmed that upcoming James Bond movie No Time To Die has been pushed back from April to November.
Meanwhile, production on The Walking Dead season 11 is still going ahead, as showrunner Angela Kang confirmed they were working remotely via video conferences.
