Last week, reported accusations against Umbrella Academy showrunner Steve Blackman of cultivating ꦑan abusive workplace with his "toxic, bullying, manipulative, and retaliatory behaviour🍨".

Sony announced the Horizon🐠 Zero Da💮wn TV series two years ago during a business briefing Q&A as part of its strategy to "leverage beyond gaming". We've already seen this strategy in action with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Uncharted film and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Last of Us HBO series, but plenty more projects are on the way from a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:God of War Amazon series to a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Tsushima movie.
PlayStation has also been pushing Horizon Zero Dawn as a major flagship for the console, now boasting a VR spin-off and an upcoming Lego adaptation ✱which is even launching on rival platform Nintendo Swi꧟tch. Wha🃏t will happen to its plans for a TV show following Netflix's cancellation, however, we'll just have to wait and see.
Netflix Has Yet To Officially Comment On The Allegations
Rolling Stone reached out to Netflix for comment following its report on the allegations against ꧋Bl♎ackman, but Netflix declined. It later learned the aforementioned news that Orbital and Horizon Zero Dawn were "no longer moving forward with Blackman".
A representative for Blackman then told Rolling Stone that he "has a long, ongoing, and close working relationship with Netflix" and "continues to work on new projects". Theyꦜ even claimed that he "si𒉰gned a new multi-year deal earlier this year."
