Overview

  • Ronald D. Moore took over as showrunner in late 2024 and is leading the writers’ room to reshape the series from scratch.
  • The first season will consist of ten episodes adapting the father-son journey of Kratos and Atreus from the 2018 game and its Ragnarök sequel.
  • Moore plans an interpretive approach that captures the games’ epic scope and emotional depth rather than recreating scenes shot-for-shot.
  • Santa Monica Studio game director Cory Barlog remains closely involved to ensure authenticity to the franchise’s mythology and character dynamics.
  • Amazon Prime Video has pre-approved a second season and, with Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions co-producing, aims to begin filming in 2026.
