Prime Video has announced that it will officially order a God of War live-action series, in co-production with Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions.
Amazon’s Prime Video service says that the live-action series will be an adaptation of the Santa Monica Studios sequel series, following Kratos in the Norse realm of Midgard following his quest for vengeance in ancient Greece.
Like in the game, the series will follow Kratos as he journeys with his son to the highest peak as a final request from his late wife.
It was reported earlier this year that Prime Video was in talks with PlayStation on a potential live-action series, but today's direct-to-order announcement confirms Prime Video is serious about the adaptation.
The Wheel of Time’s Rafe Judkins will serve as showrunner and executive producer, while Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, who’s worked on Iron Man and Children of Men, have boarded the series as writers and executive producers. Cory Barlog will also serve as executive producer.
“The God of War is a compelling, character-driven franchise that we believe will captivate our global customers as much with its expansive and immersive worlds as its rich storytelling,” says Amazon Studios' head of global television Vernon Sanders.
“We are so proud and excited to be working with our friends at Amazon Studios and our partners at PlayStation Productions to adapt this beautiful and heartbreaking game into a premium live-action series,” adds Sony Pictures Television Studios president Katherine Pope.
God of War was released in 2018 to critical-acclaim. The sequel, God of War: Ragnarok, was released in 2022 and was a top contender in several Game of the Year lists and categories. You can read IGN’s God of War: Ragnarok review here.
Prime Video isn’t just adapting God of War either. The Westworld creators are busy working on a live-action Fallout series for the company and released the first image of the series recently.
