“The experience of social distancing is currently universal, but no individual story is the same. Through a broad spectrum of tales and moments, some seismic and some mundane, we hope to capture a moment in time. And we hope that Social Distance will help people feel closer to one another,” the producers said in a statement.

According to the statement, the show’s writers will be doing work remotely, director Diego Velasco and showrunner Hilary Weisman Graham will be working from their homes, and the cast will be filming themselves on top of acting.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show will be done found-footage style, with producers sending necessary tools and equpment to actors as they remain in quarantine.
