CBS ‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ (B&B) alum Joanna Johnson (ex-Caroline) is about to produce a brand new high-profile series about the challenging and yet uncertain times that we are living in right now. The former daytime television actress, who is also the co-creator of hit shows such as Hope and Faith, The Fosters, and Good Trouble, will produce a limited scripted comedy series called Love in the Time of Corona. Here’s what you need to know.
According to Deadline, the new series will follow several different stories with an ensemble cast who are sheltering in their homes. Some of them can’t help but wonder if a hook-up with a roommate will ever be casual again, while others can’t stand the fact that they have decided to isolate with an ex-partner. All filming will be done remotely.

“This is the perfect show for a generation who is learning to love and be loved in a time when the entire world is telling them to stay six feet apart,” said Lauren Corrao, executive vice president, Programming and Development, Freeform. “Although the constraints have been difficult during this time, immense creativity has flourished and we could not be more grateful that Joanna brought this series to Freeform.”
“Love is a basic and central need,” added Johnson. “Finding it in the time of Corona may pose unique challenges, but it won’t stop us from forging great love stories, inspiring grand romantic gestures and profound acts of kindness.”
Love in the Time of Corona is not the only series filming remotely during the coronavirus outbreak. Other shows currently in production, but safely filmed while practicing social distancing, include Jenji Kohan’s Netflix series Social Distance, Jeff Pope’s British series Isolation Stories, which will air on BritBox, and the season finale of CBS’ All Rise.
