This was mentioned already in the old thread but I figured I would post it in the brand new spankin' media thread as well. 

This show was officially given a full season order!

The show's production has been put on hold because of the corona virus. I am curious how will this interfere with the future of Bob and Abishola.

[wendyg 3,140]

It goes to show how quickly your perceptions can change. I saw all those people sitting so close together in the church scene and was stunned by the sight.

Its been renewed yay 

[Harvey 4,935]

So happy and relieved

Did filming on this season get cut short because of the pandemic? Just noticed that the season was only 20 episodes, which seems kind of short. ("The Neighborhood", for example, had 22). Has CBS held back the last few episodes of this season or is it done? 

Edit: Just noticed Harvey's post from March 14th indicating production on the show was halted. At least they were able to finish filming most of the episodes for this season.

Bob Hearts Abilsola - Episode 2.01 - On a Dead Guy’s Bench

“On a Dead Guy’s Bench” – Bob enlists Tunde’s help to buy an engagement ring, but his plans to propose to Abishola are upended by her belief that a traditional marriage is more trouble than it’s worth, on the second season premiere of BOB ♥ ABISHOLA, Monday, Nov. 16 (8:30-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

Way too soon for these guys to be thinking about getting married, we hardly know them.

[Harvey 4,935]

I like that they are not beating around the bush, nor are they doing the will they won't they thing. Looking forward to another excellent season!

How is this to soon? Mike and Molly did the exact same thing ... they dated season One and got engaged and married in season 2....

So I read an article last week that I can't find now. It was a localish interviiew with Billy Gardell. In it he mentioned the season finale and said

Spoiler

something to the effect that it would contain a twist that people won't be expecting

Any thoughts as to what that could be?

edited- found the article! It's https://triblive.com/aande/movies-tv/tv-talk-swissvale-native-billy-gardell-grateful-for-bob-hearts-abishola-success/

So the exact quote is:
 

Spoiler

Gardell also likes that Bob is unafraid.

“The way you take the fear of something new out of your life is by experience,” Gardell said, “but you have to have an open mind and an open heart and open eyes for that, and I think Bob has that.”

Recent “Bob” episodes featured Gardell dancing to “Uptown Funk” (“When was the last time you saw a 300-pound guy (tripping) the lights fantastic?”) and in a two-parter Abishola’s husband, who long ago abandoned his family, showed up, threatening to derail Abishola’s plan to divorce him and marry Bob.

“He’s gonna reappear because when people get divorced, you have to be able to be grown ups and deal with that,” Gardell said. “This show is grounded.”

Gardell said the series is back on track to fulfill Bob’s and Abishola’s plans to marry, although he’s not sure when that will happen.

“There’s a surprise twist at the end of this season that I don’t want to give away but, again, it’s based in reality,” Gardell teased.

I’ve seen a house ad for the show on CBS. It has the show name, but then it has a list of adjectives that flip through rapidly and describe the show. I don’t remember all of them, but I do remember thinking, “Huh?” A lot of them did not describe the show I’ve been watching, and that seems to be a problem. The marketing people, the producers, and the audience don’t know what the show is.

Crossover with The Neighborhood on March 14:

 

[Harvey 4,935]

Wow that sounds amazing. As someone who watches both shows I am very excited.

[shapeshifter 45,584]

If I understand correctly, the character-crossover will just be in one half-hour episode of Bob❤️Abishola, right? So this won’t be problematic when they do future reruns, right? 
And then on The Neighborhood it will be just an actor “crossover,” right?

Yes, Calvin and Tina from The Neighborhood will appear on an episode of Bob Hearts Abishola. Gina Yashere (Kemi from Bob Hearts Abishola) will appear on The Neighborhood at a later date as a new character, a party planner named Chika.
