Overview

  • Amazon Prime Video has ordered two seasons of the God of War series and is deep in script development ahead of filming in early 2026.
  • Ronald D. Moore is serving as showrunner, writer and producer, leading efforts to translate the franchise’s emotional and mythic scope to television.
  • Cory Barlog, the director of the original Norse-era games, acts as creative consultant and provides extensive lore and narrative guidance.
  • The adaptation will draw from the 2018 God of War and its sequel Ragnarök by cherry-picking key storylines and characters rather than following a shot-for-shot recreation.
  • Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions are co-producing alongside Amazon, underscoring a major push to bring premium video game IP to prestige TV.
