GOD OF WAR Set For Live Action Series

Prime Video’s live action adaptation of God Of War is on track to begin filming next year in Vancouver.

The project has not had a smooth ride. The decision was taken in late 2024 to replace the creative leads, with Rafe Judkins, along with EPs Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus exiting. That team had already completed multiple scripts but the studio felt they needed to move in another direction.

God of War follows Kratos, the God of War, who, after exiling himself from his blood-soaked past in ancient Greece, hangs up his weapons forever in the Norse realm of Midgard.

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.

Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica) is the current showrunner but other than that we have no information on potential casting news.

The God of War franchise from Sony’s Santa Monica Studio spans a total of seven games across four PlayStation consoles. The action game series launched in 2005 on the PlayStation 2, with the first God of War. 

At the center is ex-Spartan warrior Kratos and his perilous journey to exact revenge on Ares, the Greek God of War, after killing his loved ones under the deity’s influence. After becoming the ruthless God of War himself, Kratos finds himself constantly looking for a chance to change his fate.
