Orlando Bloom has announced that production on series two of his hit Amazon Prime series Carnival Row has been halted amid the coronavirus outbreak.
The actor posted a video on Instagram on Thursday from the Prague set of the show, surrounded by his castmates as he said: 'It's farewell from us as we go home to be quarantined.'
The British actor, who is expecting his first child with fianceƩ Katy Perry, added that production had shut down to allow cast and crew to head home to the US before President Trump's travel ban from Europe comes into effect from midnight on Friday.
'We're coming home to the States, at least I'm coming home to the States because we want to get in before the quarantine,' he explained as his co-stars toasted the news with shots in the background.
'Big love everybody, stay safe out there. Self quarantine. It seems really crazy actually this whole corona thing but do the right thing by you and your family and stay safe.'
The actor, who looked in good spirits, ended the video by declaring: 'A few weeks, we'll beat this bad boy.'
Orlando stars in the Amazon series with Cara Delevingne, with filming taking place in Prague and Dubrovnik among other European locations.
The first nine-episode series, created by Travis Beacham, is set in a Victorian-era fantasy world where mythological immigrant creatures have been driven from their homelands by humans.
Despite the struggle for the groups to coexist, Cara and Orlando's characters are set to embark on a forbidden romance.
President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he was ordering an immediate shut-down of all travel from Europe to the United States from midnight on Friday to try to stop the spread of coronavirus in the US.
'We will be suspending all travel from Europe to the United States for the next 30 days,' Trump announced, conceding that world health officials had now declared the health crisis a pandemic after insisting for days that it would 'go away' and urging Americans not to panic.
