The upcoming series will be produced, as well as filmed, remotely.

Kohan, creator of ‘Orange is the New Black’, will be teaming up with Netflix to create a new scripted anthology series called ‘Social Distance.’ Hilary Weisman Graham will be the writer and showrunner and Diego Velasco is set to direct and co-executive produce. Kohan, Tara Herrmann, and Blake McCormick will also be executive producing.

The producers described the show like this:

“Our job as storytellers is to reflect reality, and in this new, bizarre, bewildering reality we are all experiencing, we feel passionate about finding connection as we all remain at a distance. We’ve been inspired to create an anthology series that tells stories about the current moment we are living through — the unique, personal, deeply human stories that illustrate how we are living apart, together. We are challenging ourselves to do something new: To create and produce virtually so that our cast and crew can stay healthy and safe. Writers never physically meet during the writing process. Our director, Diego Velasco, directs our talent remotely. Our showrunner, Hilary Weisman Graham, runs production from her living room. The cast not only acts, but also films themselves at home. 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.”
