The folks at “American Idol” tried to make it work, but ultimately they had to jettison plans to produce the show in the studio, but TMZ has learned the show may still go on.
Producers sent an email to the crew, saying, “As we continue to monitor advice from federal and local agencies, it seems unlikely we are going to be able to make it back into the studio for this season of American Idol.”
The email, obtained by TMZ, goes on … “We will continue to monitor and provide updates should any changes occur.” BTW … we’re told the crew will not be paid.
Our production sources tell us the plan is still to produce the show … but the judges will be at their respective homes and viewers will ultimately decide who wins and who ends up packing.
‘Idol’ joins an ever-growing list of productions that have had to pivot in the wake of the pandemic.
The email ends on a positive note … “In the meantime, please stay safe and healthy. We are looking forward to the day we can all work together again.”
