God… damn it. Amazon Prime Video‘s God of War series will recast the starring role of Kratos, the titular God of War, following an injury to the original actor Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy).
Hurst tore his bicep while performing a stunt for the adaptation of the popular PlayStation video game, pausing production, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed. The show had already been delayed long enough: God of War was greenlit by Prime Video in December 2022. Hurst has had surgery, but it will be a pretty long recovery.
The God of War cast and crew were informed of the decision to recast Kratos on Thursday, a source tells THR.
God of War already has a two-season commitment. Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica) is showrunner; Frederick E.O. Toye (Shōgun) directs the first two episodes. Those and others will undergo extensive reshoots — God of War has already filmed for months in Vancouver and had four episodes in the can.
