According to sources, four episodes had been fully completed at the time of the incident.

They will now be reshot with the new actor who will take over the role of Kratos.

Oh damn, they're Eric Stoltz-ing him. Dude put in (what's probably) half a season's worth of work already and nobody's ever gonna see it. That's brutal.

    Well, putting on a lot of muscle mass/power in a short time is always risky, becuse tendons and fasciae need more time to adjust than the muscles need time to grow.
    It's a pity for Ryan this happened :(

    Hurst tore a bicep while doing a stunt on the show, as first reported by TMZ. According to sources, he has since undergone surgery and is now recovering.

    God of War paused production Immediately following the incident and remains on hiatus.

    Hurst’s projected recovery time is unclear but for a serious bicep tears requiring surgery, it is typically 4-6 months, with a return to full strength taking up to a year.

    Damn, that's rough. I hope Hurst recovers quickly.

    This is why one should use stunt doubles, assuming that the shot would allow for one.

    I know this is is not what the story is about and I feel for the actor.

    But this is the first time I see a picture from it and is it just me or do the costumes look kinda cheap? Kratos is relatively fine but Atreus doesn't look that well. What's up with the thicc bow? I feel like this should've looled way better.

    There has to be another reason. There is no way in hell they are recasting him because of a bicep injury.

    Yeah, it's the injury, definitely not looking for a way out of this dumpster fire 🤣

    Absolutely tragic. You have to feel for the actor in this situation

    Agreed. And I can only assume that this injury happened as a result of the suits in charge not doing enough to maintain safe working conditions for the cast.

    Crazy that they're throwing away 6 months of shooting and starting over instead of giving the actor 6 more months to recover. I feel like that's just going to result in an overall worse show.

    Though you’re probably right, I can’t help but think of the old age of movies where major actors were their own director, and did their own stunts involving houses falling on them, tumbling off of construction sites to the ground, or falling onto hot coals.

    Not saying I prefer those days, but it’s astounding how much things have changed.

    They should cast Christopher Judge.
