A TV series based on God of War was officially greenlit by Sony and Amazon Prime back in 2022, and as recently as earlier this year, it was confirmed that the show was in the writing stage. It seems, however, that things haven’t progressed exactly the way Prime and Sony wanted, with the series set to restart development from scratch.
That’s as per a Deadline report, which claims that showrunner Rafe Judkins (The Wheel of Time) and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus (The Expanse) have all left the project. The trio had reportedly finished multiple scripts for the show’s first season, and the scripts had received praise from Sony and Prime.
The studios are nonetheless choosing to take a different creative direction with the series, and are, as such, looking to hire an entirely new writing room. What that new direction will be remains to be seen. Meanwhile, SIE Santa Monica Studio’s Cory Barlog and Yumi Yang will both still continue to serve as executive producers on the show.
