As the countdown to the 2024 Olympics in Paris begins, filmmakers and TV show creators are facing new challenges. The City of Paris has implemented a special plan to manage film and TV show shoots during the Olympic and Paralympic games. From June 16 to September 15, filming in areas near the competition venues will not be permitted.
However, a limited number of shoots may still be allowed in the “non-Olympic zones” during this time. Action-packed films with intense productions and period dramas have been put on pause as they have a significant impact on public spaces.
Filmmakers and TV show creators are being asked to plan ahead and come up with creative alternatives, such as finding different filming locations or adjusting their shooting schedules. This means that our favorite TV shows might have to take a break or find clever ways to work around these new rules.
The film and TV industry in Paris will need to find creative solutions to continue their productions during the Olympic season. The City’s goal is to ensure an unforgettable Olympic event in the City of Light, and we will have to wait and see how they navigate through these new challenges.
