The actor reportedly tore his bicep severly enough that he\u2019ll have to undergo surgery.<\/p>\n<p>Production reportedly hoped to have him back on set for mid-August, but the recovery process is said to be too long to meet that timeline. As a result, filming may not resume on the series until 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Filming on the series has been underway since February which suggests a majority of the season has already been filmed.<\/p>\n<p>The story follows father and son Kratos (Hurst) and Atreus (Callum Vinson) as they embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye. Through their adventures, Kratos tries to teach his son to be a better god, while Atreus tries to teach his father how to be a better human.<\/p>\n<p>Also in the cast are Mandy Patinkin as Odin, Ed Skrein as Baldur, Max Parker as Heimdall, \u00d3lafur Darri \u00d3lafsson as Thor, Teresa Palmer as Sif, Alastair Duncan as Mimir, Jeff Gulka as Sindri and Danny Woodburn as Brok.<\/p>\n<p>The series, which has been greenlit for two seasons, is based on PlayStation\u2019s highly acclaimed ancient mythology-themed video game series \u2013 more specifically the 2018 reboot and its 2022 sequel.  Ronald D. Moore (\u201cBattlestar Galactica,\u201d \u201cOutlander\u201d) serves as showrunner, executive producer, and writer. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Amazon Amazon\u2019s high-profile TV series adaptation of the \u201cGod of War\u201d video game series has taken a major&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":696313,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[94966,96,59,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-696312","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-bigslider","tag-entertainment","tag-gb","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696312","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=696312"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/696312\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/696313"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=696312"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=696312"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=696312"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
