Prime Video has confirmed that Ryan Hurst will play Kratos in the highly anticipated live-action God of War series . The announcement has excited fans and reinforced the prestige of the production, which adapts the Norse saga of the franchise.

Furthermore, the choice makes sense. Hurst has already been part of the saga's universe by voicing Thor in God of War Ragnarok, a role that earned him a BAFTA nomination. Thus, the actor returns to the world of the gods, now as the protagonist.

The series is produced by Prime Video in partnership with PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures Television. Filming begins in February in Canada, while pre-production is in full swing.

The plot follows Kratos and Atreus on a journey marked by loss, conflict, and growth. The script is by Ronald D. Moore, known for ambitious TV projects. On the other hand, creative changes in 2024 reshaped the project and breathed new life into the adaptation.

Finally, Amazon renewed the series for a second season even before its premiere. Rumors of new cast members continue to circulate, but nothing has been officially confirmed.

Recognized among fans who follow anime online, AnimeNew stands out for its coverage of news, releases, and updates from the Japanese market.
