“Though Fiji has no reported cases and is beautifully remote, our crew numbers over 400 and are flying in from over 20 different countries, creating a need for more time to analyze and create our new production safety plan fully.

This situation is unprecedented, and we are learning more information every day. It is out of concern for the well-being of all of you that we have taken this step.”

Season 41 will start filming on May 19, till then the fans will have to wait. Right now, health and safety of the cast and crew members will be the top priority.
