I remember at the beginning of pandemic listing to a podcast by Amanda Seales where she's talking to Issa Rae (writer and producer of Insecure). they were saying how without knowing when they'd be allowed to film again, she was considering having the 5th and final season be animated. Thought that was really interesting but you're right animation is going to be very big for the foreseeable future. I think the escapism aspect is also incredibly poignant. Great article with lots of info I want to know but too lazy to seek out on my own, thank you:)
