New details from God of War’s upcoming TV adaptation have emerged. 

New details from Amazon’s upcoming live-action TV adaptation of God of War have surfaced, thanks to a recent interview with its showrunner Ronald D. Moore. At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, Moore confirmed that the series’ first season will consist of 10 episodes, and will adapt the events of God of War (2018). 

This means that the series is set to adapt the Norse era of the God of War franchise. 

God of War TV series showrunner releases new details

Ronald D. Moore, showrunner of Amazon’s upcoming God of War TV series, recently spoke to Collider to confirm more details from the project. In the interview, Moore confirmed that the series will adapt the events of God of War (2018), with the involvement of game director Cory Barlog. 

Moore heaped praise on Barlog, saying that “Cory Barlog is a genius” and “I usually pride myself about, as a showrunner, I can hold the season in my head. I know what the 10 episodes are, and I can tell you about them. Cory can tell you the whole thing in every possible way — all the mythology, how it connects one to the other, what the puzzles were, why they did this, and what that artifact did. It's really impressive.”

The series, which is currently in the midst of completing its episode scripts, will be an adaptation of God of War (2018). However, Moore was careful to note that it won’t be a straightforward remake of the game, saying:

“This world and this universe are really rich, and it's interesting, and it's really been fun to adapt. It's an adaptation, so it's an adaptation-slash-interpretation as you go into live-action, and it's been really fun to sort of go, ‘Wow, there's a lot here we can play with. Okay, we want to keep the story. We want to keep the characters and the spirit of it.’ There's all this stuff that you can keep turning to for inspiration. It's really been interesting.”

In another interview with IGN, Moore said that “The tone of the show is trying to emulate the tone of the game, which is there's this epic journey, this heartfelt story of these two men setting out on this thing to honor the memory of his wife, Atreus’ mother.” 

The series will also dive into the “sense of history of who Kratos is, this mystery about his past, what he represents, the emotions that he's going through.” That seems to confirm that, despite skipping the events of God of War (2005) through God of War III, Kratos’ bloodsoaked adventures as a Spartan demigod in Greece are still canon. 

When asked whether fans will see glimpses of Kratos’ Greek mythology-inspired past in this series, Moore simply said “Well, maybe, you'll have to wait and see it.” 

The God of War series is set to start filming sometime in 2026 at the earliest, so don’t expect Kratos’ live-action escapades to hit Amazon Prime Video anytime soon.
