The global COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic brought the entertainment industry to a standstill, with production on new shows, new episodes and new movies being halted. With quarantine in full effect, one way networks, including Nickelodeon has adapted in recent months is to produce special "virtually produced" episodes of shows, including Henry Danger spin-off Danger Force. In April, the cast of Nickelodeon's hit show, along with special guest Frankie Grande, who returned as the fan-favorite villain, Frankini, got together over the internet for a one-off special, "Quaran-kini".
With production on TV shows and movies just now beginning to resume, networks and studios are going to have a shortfall of new content in the coming months, however, it seems like one way to get new content on viewers' screens in more virtually produced episodes.
Danger Force director Mike Caron has hinted on Twitter that the cast and crew of Danger Force have been keeping busy lately by filming a new virtually produced special!:

In Danger Force, four kids–Chapa (Havan Flores), Miles (Terrence Little Gardenhigh), Mika (Dana Heath) and Bose (Luca Luhan)–are recruited to attend Swellview Academy for the Gifted (SW.A.G. for short), a school conceived by Captain Man (Cooper Barnes) and brought to life by Schwoz (Michael D. Cohen), after having been accidentally mutated in the fight to save Swellview. While there, the kids must learn to harness their frequently troublesome and sometimes uncontrollable superpowers as they begin to fight crime. Despite the dangerous circumstances of their new lives, the superheroes must keep their real identities a secret from both from their families and the villains who are out to destroy them. The series is a spin-off from Henry Danger.
Since its March 28 premiere, Nickelodeon’s latest live-action hit Danger Force has consistently posted double-digit gains in Live + 3 viewing. Most recently, a new episode (April 18, 2020) set a series record in Live + 3 posting a +75% increase with Kids 6-11 versus Live + SameDay viewership.
The series is created and executive-produced by Christopher J. Nowak (Henry Danger) and produced by Cooper Barnes and Jace Norman.
