Amazon is gearing up for an exciting venture as its God of War TV series prepares to start filming in March 2026. Following the show’s reboot with Ronald D. Moore, acclaimed for his work on Battlestar Galactica and For All Mankind, as showrunner, the anticipation has only heightened. Recent reports indicate that Amazon has committed to two seasons of the series. The first two episodes will be helmed by the Emmy award-winning director, Frederick E.O. Toye, known for his work on Shogun and The Boys.
Production Begins for God of War
With Moore leading the project as showrunner, writer, and executive producer, Toye’s directorial touch on the initial episodes is expected to establish the show’s tone. Pre-production has already started in Vancouver, setting the stage for the March filming. While specific plot details remain under wraps, it is confirmed that the series will draw inspiration from God of War (2018) and God of War Ragnarok, rather than the original games based on Greek mythology.
Casting the Iconic Roles
The casting process for the pivotal roles of Kratos and Atreus is underway, sparking curiosity about who will embody these characters. Christopher Judge, the voice behind Kratos in the game reboot, has expressed interest in the role. He remains supportive regardless of the casting decision, emphasizing his love for the character. Casting for Kratos and Atreus is currently underway, as the big question around the show is who will be chosen to fill those iconic roles.
Amazon’s Expanding Gaming Universe
The God of War series is part of Amazon’s broader strategy to bring beloved video game franchises to the screen. Alongside this, Amazon is also releasing another season of the Fallout series and is developing TV adaptations for Mass Effect, Life is Strange, and Tomb Raider.
