Prime Video’s God of War series is set to resume filming in Vancouver with Dave Bautista as Kratos. Wikipedia lists the expected restart as October 26, while Dark Horizons reported a mid-October start.
Bautista replaces Ryan Hurst, who was cast in January and tore a bicep during a stunt in late June. Filming paused on July 1, per Wikipedia. Dark Horizons reported that the studios said the schedule “simply couldn’t accommodate a year-long wait.”
Godisageek reports that all footage with Hurst, including at least four completed episodes, will be scrapped and reshot, and that Frederick E.O. Toye, who directed the original first two episodes, returns to direct them. Wikipedia adds that the four episodes are being fully reshot because Callum Vinson, who plays Atreus, has aged.
Ronald D. Moore remains writer, executive producer and showrunner through Tall Ship Productions. The two-season order is unchanged, and both seasons are still planned to shoot back-to-back, with filming expected to wrap April 1, 2027, per Wikipedia. Reports cited by Wikipedia say Vinson and Island Austin (Thrud) will be recast for season 2 because of the three-year time jump.
No release date has been set. Amazon MGM Studios and Sony Pictures Television produce the series.
