One of the reasons for the suspension of the film adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn was a bad script

Insider Jeff Grubb reported that people who invested in the film adaptation of the Horizon Zero Dawn game were unhappy with the quality of the script. He received this information several months ago. Grubb is not sure if the poor quality of the story was one of the reasons for the suspension of the series, as he is not familiar with the intricacies of the film industry.

The decision to postpone the project was announced on July 4, 2024 by Rolling Stone journalist Cheyenne Roundtree. However, Netflix and Sony have not yet commented on the current status of the show.

News of the production halt follows allegations of sexism and toxicity against series showrunner Steve Blackman. Colleagues say he behaved inappropriately while working on The Umbrella Academy, but an internal review did not substantiate the allegations.
