In a funk over the fact they didn't film much at all before the COVID production shutdown  I believe I read an interview with Elisabeth Moss saying they only filmed for a week or two max in March before the shutdown started, and they were supposed to film into August! The new season was supposed to be slated for fall 2020 but I just do not see it happening. They have nothing filmed really (1-2 weeks is nothing, and even Elisabeth Moss said they didn't get much) and I'm not even sure the shutdown will be over by fall... I imagine the new season will be pushed to anywhere between early to late 2021 depending on when they can finally film again. Love this show so much... I know it's not worth risking anyone's health or well-being so I will be patient! Guess I didn't realize how long some TV series film for and how short post-production can be
