A TV Series based on God of War is coming to Amazon Prime. Sony briefly confirmed the existence of the television series back in May 2022 during the Sony Business Briefing, an event exclusively for investors. Amazon confirmed the show was greenlit on December 14, 2022, with more details about the show surfacing following this announcement. Read on to learn everything we know so far about the God of War Amazon Series.
What is the God of War Amazon Series about?
According to the show’s official description, the TV Series will follow the 2018 reboot of the game series, meaning it will take place in the Norse realm of Midgard. The description reads “When his beloved wife dies, Kratos sets off on a dangerous journey with his estranged son to spread her ashes from the highest peak — his wife’s final wish. Kratos soon realizes the journey is an epic quest in disguise, one which will test the bonds between father and son, and force Kratos to battle new gods and monsters for the fate of the world,” which is essentially the plot of God of War (2018).
Although the series will be set in ancient Scandinavia and focus on Norse mythology, it seems like Kratos’ Greek past will also be featured. Sony Pictures TV president Katherine Pope said that “Rafe [Judkins], Mark [Fergus] and Hawk [Ostby] are crafting a transportive series that charts a path through the ancient mythological journey of Kratos.”
What will be the official title of the God of War Amazon Series?
The official title of the series is yet to be confirmed, but since it is based on the 2018 reboot of the video game series, chances are it will just be called ‘God of War’.
Who is working on the God of War TV Series?
Wheel of Time’s Rafe Judkins will be showrunner for the tv adaption of God of War, with Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby (The Expanse, Iron Man) writing the show. The God of War Amazon Series will be produced by Judkins, Fergus, Ostby, along with Santa Monica Studio’s creative director Cory Barlog, Santa Monica Studio’s Director of Product Development Yumi Yang, PlayStation Productions’ Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan, and Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee.
Who will play Kratos and Atreus in the God of War TV Series?
It is currently unknown who will play the roles of Kratos and his son, Atreus. Kratos was voices by Terrence C. Carson in the Greek games, and Christopher Judge in the Norse games. Atreus was voiced by Sunny Suljic in the games.
When will the God of War Amazon Series come out?
It is currently unknown when the God of War Series will be released.
Where can I watch the God of War TV Series?
The God of War TV Series will be released exclusively on the Amazon Prime streaming platform.
Will there be a second season for the God of War TV Series?
It is currently unknown if there will be a second season for the God of War TV Series. However, it seems the first season is based on the 2018 installment of the video games, which was followed by God of War Ragnarök in 2022. So it would make sense if the God of War TV Series would spawn multiple seasons.
