I don't know how any TV series will be able to be produced this season. At least the hour long dramas. These shows are almost exclusively police or medical shows. Cops or doctors. How can they possibly be produced in the current climate that has been polluted by the twin disasters of Covid and Black Lives Matter.
Almost every cop show on TV today specializes in police misconduct as par for the course. It is always white officers who are at fault and only heroic black or women characters who set them right. Most of the criminals are the imaginary white supremacists that dominate the dreams of the ultra woke writers but still the corrupt white cop is at the base of it. Take Chicago PD which is all about a corrupt unit of the police force that kills suspects and covers up evidence. How can they proceed? Who is going to watch it? They will have to kowtow to Black Lives Matter and make the shows even more unbelievable and one sided. You will never see a black gang banger killing people. They will be forced to only have anti-white kabuki theater. I don't think that most people will watch that. Certainly not the older demographic that is at the heart of ratings for regular broadcast TV.
Cop shows can not survive unless the cops are the heroes. That has been true since the beginning of television. The dominant culture of political correctness will not allow that so it is unlikely that these shows can survive.
Then there are the medical shows. How are they going to proceed if everyone is wearing a mask all the time. Without seeing their facial expressions you are counting on their acting ability to carry the ball. Good luck with that.
Take that pedestrian medical drama with the half a retard guy "The Good Doctor." He halts and stammers and shakes all the time. Half of the drama is seeing if he spits out what he is talking about. All of that is gone if everybody is wearing a mask all the time. If they don't wear a mask they will be called out by all the Karen's. It is just not going to work.
The only shows that will work are historical dramas, science fiction and game shows. Even competition shows like the Voice will require masks. The only other ones that will flout the rules are reality shows.
Imagine "Real Housewives" twenty four hours a day.
Spinelli will be trilled.

Well, that only leaves Westerns.
Surely there won't be any PC problems with Westerns. Right?
They could always do pirates.
Or the Civil War. Maybe the Mexican War or Robin Hood.
Maybe Robin In Da Hood.
Is Ed Sullivan still dead?
How about "The Whacky Adventures of Time Travelling General Sheridan in India". No problems there, right?
I found a reality show I like, The Last Alaskans. Set in the Arctic refuge in northern Alaska. Simple, unaffected people and a crew that doesn't make them into clowns. There's a guy from Jersey City. He's lived in the Arctic for 40 years but he sounds like he just got off the Jersey Turnpike. Same w/ a Cheesehead who's lived there since the 70's. Sounds like he just walked out of a bar in Wausau.
On half retarded guys: the scope of their outreach is often considerable.
I hadn't thought about what's going to happen to TV this fall. With the loss of identifiable villians, heros, and genders, Disney was already facing difficulty producing movies for families and children prior to the arrival of the Chinese Virus.
