The highly anticipated God of War TV series has hit a roadblock after lead actor Ryan Hurst suffered a serious injury on set. According to reports, Hurst, who was set to play the iconic role of Kratos, tore a bicep while performing a stunt, requiring surgery and a lengthy recovery period.

This unfortunate incident has forced Amazon to recast the role, rather than delaying production until Hurst's recovery, which could take up to six months. The show had already completed filming four episodes before the injury, and preparations are expected to resume in August, with production set to start again in October.
