The highly anticipated God of War live-action TV series is undergoing a significant creative overhaul. Several key producers have departed, leading to a complete reboot of the project. Let's delve into the details of these departures and the future plans of Sony and Amazon.

God of War Series: Not Cancelled, But Rebooted

Recent reports confirm that showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus have left the God of War TV series. Despite already completing multiple scripts, Sony and Amazon have opted for a different creative vision.

However, the project is not cancelled. Key figures remaining on board include executive producers Cory Barlog (Santa Monica Studio Creative Director), Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan (PlayStation Productions), Roy Lee (Vertigo), and Yumi Yang (Santa Monica Studio). Amazon and Sony will now search for a new showrunner, producers, and writers to redefine the series' direction.

Future Adaptations Despite Setbacks

The God of War TV series was announced in 2022, following the success of the 2018 game reboot. This project is part of Sony's broader strategy to adapt its popular video game franchises into film and television. This initiative, launched with the creation of PlayStation Productions in 2019, has already yielded successful adaptations like Uncharted (2022), The Last of Us (2023, with a second season slated for 2025), Gran Turismo (2023), and Twisted Metal (2023). Further projects in development include Gravity Rush, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, and the upcoming Until Dawn film (April 25, 2025). The Horizon Zero Dawn Netflix adaptation is also underway.
