Donald Trump declared a national emergency on Friday which lead to the streaming giant to announce the shutdown.
Netflix said the break was “due to government restrictions and health/safety precautions”.
The list of flagship shoes includes Stranger Things which is in the middle of filming it’s fourth season, as well as the upcoming Sex/Life starring Sarah Shahi and Ryan Murphy’s Netflix movie, The Prom.

The halt is expected to last two weeks and comes into effect from March 16.

Warner Bros has also announced it was suspending production on more than 70 of its shows.
