NBC pulls New Amsterdam's flu pandemic episode

Deadline

The April 7 episode originally titled “Pandemic” and later renamed “Our Doors Are Always Open” has been yanked amid the real-world coronavirus pandemic, which affected New Amsterdam guest-star Daniel Dae Kim. “The world needs a lot less fiction right now, and a lot more facts,” creator David Schulner writes in a Deadline essay of his medical drama, which films in New York City, the epicenter of the U.S. coronavirus outbreak. Schulner adds: “Sometimes, what the mirror reflects back is too horrifying to look at."
