Proud of its success, Sony wanted pass your license into the world of series with the help of Amazon. Due to arrive on Prime Video, the project is unfortunately not progressing as planned.

A change of “creative direction”

Our colleagues from Deadline indeed reported on October 17, 2024 that showrunner and executive producer Rafe Judkins, as well as executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus, had left the ship.

“The studios are apparently looking to change creative direction, although a source told Deadline that the trio's scripts have been praised by both Sony and Prime”explains the American media.

We learn that Sony and Amazon are looking to hire a new team of writers for the series God of War. The entire creation process would thus start from scratch, which will require us to wait several more years in order to taste it on Prime Video.
