Everything We Know About Amazon’s God of War Adaptation
The God of War series adaptation was announced in 2022, with Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios producing in association with PlayStation Productions.
Initially, the project was in development under writers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby (The Expanse), with Rafe Judkins (The Wheel of Time) serving as showrunner (Deadline).
However, in October 2024, reports revealed that Fergus, Ostby, and Judkins had all left the project, as the studio decided to take the adaptation in a new creative direction (Deadline). Ronald D. Moore was then hired as the writer and showrunner of the adaptation (Deadline).
Any further updates about the series adaptation have since been limited. But Moore has occasionally shared insight into the project, including that Amazon has already ordered two seasons of the series.
“Right now I’m working on the adaptation of this video game called God of War, a big title in the gaming world that Amazon has ordered two seasons of, and they have asked me to come in,” he shared in a March 2025 appearance on The Sackhoff Show.
Although details such as casting and the era the series will focus on remain unconfirmed, Amazon Studios’ Head of Television, Vernon Sanders, has reassured fans that the adaptation will stay faithful to the video game series.
