God of War Season 2 Casts Older Atreus and Thrud as Production Delays Mount

Amazon’s God of War TV series paused after lead actor Ryan Hurst injures his bicep, prompting a recast of Kratos and delaying Vancouver production; Season 2 will also recast older versions of Atreus and Thrud, with casting calls seeking teen actors aged 14–17 for Joshua (Atreus) and Ruth (Thrud), signaling a jump from Season 1’s younger cast. If confirmed, the changes could push the Prime Video premiere into 2028 as reshoots and Ragnarök-era storytelling are lined up.
