God of War TV Series' Creative Team Undergoes OverhaulRecent reports confirm that showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus have left the God of War adaptation. Despite reportedly completing multiple scripts, Sony and Amazon have opted for a different creative vision.

Key figures remaining on board include executive producer Cory Barlog (Creative Director, Santa Monica Studio), along with PlayStation Productions' Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan, Vertigo's Roy Lee, and Santa Monica Studio's Yumi Yang. Amazon and Sony will now search for a new showrunner, producers, and writers to redefine the series' direction. Importantly, the project remains uncancelled.

Future Plans Despite Setbacks

God of War TV Series' Creative Team Undergoes OverhaulThe Amazon and Sony partnership for the God of War TV series was announced in 2022 on a PlayStation podcast, following the success of the 2018 God of War game reboot. This initiative reflects Sony's broader strategy to adapt its popular video game franchises into film and television. This led to the formation of PlayStation Productions in 2019. A Netflix adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn was also part of this announcement.

Successful adaptations already released include Naughty Dog's Uncharted (2022) and the critically acclaimed The Last of Us (2023), with a second season slated for 2025. Other projects include the Gran Turismo film (2023) and the Twisted Metal TV series (2024). Further adaptations currently in development include Gravity Rush, Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, and the Until Dawn film, scheduled for release on April 25, 2025.
