Sony to produce Horizon Series for Netflix, God of War Series for Amazon, and a Gran Turismo Show

Sony’s PlayStation Productions is moving forward on a number of new projects. The company has announced its plans to bring a Horizon series to Netflix, a God of War series to Amazon, and a show based on Gran Turismo for an unannounced platform.

PlayStation Productions is looking at a number of new adaptations. On top of The Last of Us, which is in production in Calgary, Ghost of Tsushima, and Uncharted, which was released earlier this year, Sony has big plans for its IP. In a recent business briefing, Sony Interactive Entertainment president Jim Ryan announced the company’s plans.

During a Q&A, Ryan revealed that the PlayStation Productions is working alongside a number of platforms. These platforms will help distribute each of the projects ranging from Horizon, God of War, and Gran Turismo.

Horizon and God of War are two of Sony’s most lucrative and popular IPs. Horizon Forbidden West landed on PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 earlier this year. It makes sense that Sony would capitalize on its popularity by producing a live-action series. Likewise, God of War Ragnarok is approaching its launch.

An interesting takeaway is Sony’s apparent willingness to work with a variety of platforms and models. Uncharted debuted in theatres as will the Ghost of Tsushima film. The Last of Us, however, is a series for HBO. The Twisted Metal series is a Peacock title. Sony plans to also work with Netflix, Amazon, and one other unannounced platform. Whether it’s Apple or any of the aforementioned streaming services, it remains to be seen where Gran Turismo lands.

It’s currently unclear whether Sony plans to tell stories based around the iconic characters in Horizon and God of War. It seems like a surefire bet that these stories will revolve around Aloy and Kratos respectively. Though, there’s no guarantee that the creative teams will want to tell stories regarding established characters.

Film and television adaptations aren’t the only way Sony is expanding its reach. During its business briefing, Ryan also spoke about the company’s plan to have roughly half its games available on PC and mobile by 2025.

Amazon Prime Video original Night Sky to be beamed into space

Amazon plans to beam its new Prime Video series Night Sky into space. The company is working with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and satellite services providers SES and Intelsat.

Night Sky premiered on Amazon Prime Video on May 20th. The series stars Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons in a sci-fi tale about a couple who years ago discovered a chamber buried in their backyard. The chamber leads them to a strange and deserted planet. For years, the couple has kept this chamber a secret. However, a stranger enters their lives and complicates the matter.

With a clear focus on sci-fi and the star system, it is understandable why Amazon chose to beam Night Sky into the galaxy. Though, it’s still a wild concept to wrap your mind around. In a press release, Amazon states that any lifeform “open to receiving satellite signals 384,000 kilometres away and beyond — the equivalent distance from Earth to the Moon,” will be able to access the broadcast.

I suppose that means that alien lifeforms won’t have to pay the $79 annual fee for an Amazon Prime Video subscription. Thanks, Bezos.

Amazon’s Night Sky is the first TV series to be distributed to space. This marks a pretty significant milestone for content. Co-stars Chai Hansen and Kiah McKirnan virtually welcomed viewers to the space premiere.

Amazon’s press release also states that “the broadcast will occur in Ku- and C-band, common frequencies for satellite TV, media distribution, and communications.”

All eight episodes of Night Sky are available to stream on Amazon Prime Video.

I wonder how long until alien lifeforms start writing their review on Rotten Tomatoes?

Amazon drops new trailer for The Boys Season 3 ahead of June premiere

Amazon has released a new trailer for the third season of its popular The Boys series on Prime Video.

In the two-and-a-half-minute trailer, Homelander (Antony Starr) has become increasingly unhinged following the events of Season 2, while Butcher (Karl Urban) takes a special serum to temporarily become a supe and directly take on Vought. Supernatural‘s Jensen Ackles can also be seen as a new character named Soldier Boy.

Fans have had to wait a bit longer for Season 3 following the October 2020 Season 2 finale, due to COVID-19 production delays. That said, it’s finally set to premiere on Prime Video on June 3rd, with new episodes rolling out every week. It’s worth noting that the series was filmed in Toronto, is executive produced by Vancouver’s Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg and co-stars Mississauga, Ontario’s Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir.

The first two seasons of The Boys, as well as the animated anthology series The Boys: Diabolical, are currently streaming on Prime Video.
