The film industry has no doubt been impacted by COVID – and the sector is doing everything it can to reopen safely

Netflix is set to require casts and some crew on its productions in the US to be vaccinated against COVID-19.

It comes as the Delta variant spreads across the country, with new cases growing by the day, despite vaccines continuing to roll out.

The global entertainment industry has taken a hit due to the pandemic.

Many productions have been postponed or canceled

Deadline was the first to report the new rules made by the streaming giant.

Deadline says the new return-to-work protocols agreed upon by the Hollywood unions and major studios last week give producers “the option to implement mandatory vaccination policies for casts and crew in Zone A on a production-by-production basis.”

Some productions such as Gaslit have adopted the mandatory vaccination policy already.
