Both seasons of the series are being shot back-to-back, so it\u2019s expected there\u2019ll be a time jump between the seasons as there is in the games \u2013 which would explain the casting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSons of Anarchy\u201d star Ryan Hurst was originally set to play Kratos until an injury recently has led to Amazon opting to recast him (a new actor hasn\u2019t been announced yet).  Several episodes of the first season are set to have scenes reshot.<\/p>\n<p>No other roles are presently being recase.  It\u2019s not clear when the series will premiere though 2028 is now the most likely case.<\/p>\n<p>Previous article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/wonder-man-showrunner-explains-cancellation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cWonder Man\u201d Showrunner Explains Cancellation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next article<a href=\"https:\/\/www.darkhorizons.com\/muschietti-on-it-welcome-to-derry-s2-tone\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Muschietti On \u201cIT: Welcome to Derry\u201d S2 Tone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon Amazon Prime Video\u2019s troubled \u201cGod of War\u201d TV series adaptation is reportedly seeking new actors to portray&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":841309,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64,63,142132,134],"class_list":["post-841308","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841308","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=841308"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/841308\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/841309"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=841308"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=841308"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=841308"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
