Disney+’s The Falcon and The Winter Soldier has shut down production due to COVID-19 concerns. The series was still filming in Prague when the local government closed schools and placed restrictions on travel and events.
Most of The Falcon and The Winter Soldier were shot in Atlanta, but a short shoot began last Friday in Prague, according to Deadline. The shoot was expected to be finished in a week, but after the production cancellation, everyone was ordered to return to Atlanta, and it’s unclear if the planned Prague shoots will be completed.

Shoots for The Falcon and The Winter Soldier were previously affected when a planned shoot in Puerto Rico was impacted by a 6.4 magnitude earthquake. However, the show is still expected to premiere on the Disney+ streaming service in August.
The Falcon and The Winter Soldier is a spinoff series focusing on Anthony Mackie’s The Falcon — who inherited Captain America’s shield at the end of Avengers: Endgame — and Sebastian Stan’s deprogrammed hitman The Winter Soldier as they work together to take down their old foe Zemo.

It’s one of the many Marvel spinoffs premiering on Disney+. Other shows set to premiere on the service include WandaVision, Loki, She-Hulk, Hawkeye, and Ms. Marvel.
