Amazon Plans God of War Live-Action Series Adapting Norse Saga

Amazon Prime Video is developing a live-action God of War series focusing on the Norse saga from the 2018 and 2022 games, with Ronald D. Moore as showrunner. The series will explore the emotional and complex relationship between Kratos and his son Atreus, aiming to emulate the tone and depth of the games rather than a direct scene-by-scene adaptation. Cory Barlog, the original game director, is actively involved to ensure authenticity and fidelity to the source material. The show has been greenlit for two seasons, each expected to have ten episodes, with filming anticipated to begin in 2026. Moore, known for Battlestar Galactica, highlighted the emotional resonance of the story and praised Barlog's encyclopedic knowledge of the franchise's mythology. Amazon and PlayStation Productions are collaborating to produce the series, which is expected to have a big-budget, cinematic quality similar to recent successful video game adaptations.
