Some Japanese networks have decided to suspend the shooting of dramas for the time being in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) and to ensure the safety of performers, staff, and other related parties. Chinese dramas and films were delayed in January while the Hong Kong Film Award nominees delayed film releases too.

I am going to list the dramas that have been officially postponed. Hopefully the situation will get better quickly. Feel free to let me know if I missed any. Japan has also decided to postpone the Olympics 2020 and to extend the state of emergency.

Postponed,  the broadcast start dates are still undecided:

Kansai TVTV TOKYOTBSFuji TV 


NHK NTV TBS TV Asahi
