Official Start

Amazon has officially confirmed that the God of War TV series will begin filming in March 2026 in Vancouver, Canada. This announcement ends months of speculation and rumors, turning one of the most popular video games in the world into a full-scale television drama.

Casting Process

Casting for the show is still underway, and fans are eagerly waiting to find out who will play Kratos, the legendary warrior who has become one of gaming’s most iconic characters. The challenge is enormous, as the actor must embody Kratos’ rage, strength, and emotional depth. Atreus, Kratos’ son, is equally important, as his role adds heart and balance to the story.

The Adapted Story

The series will adapt the 2018 God of War storyline, which was a major success on PlayStation 4 and marked a turning point for the franchise. The plot follows Kratos after his revenge-driven journey against Zeus, as he starts a new life in the world of Norse mythology.

Together with Atreus, he embarks on an emotional and dangerous quest to scatter Atreus’ mother’s ashes from the highest peak in the Nine Realms. Along the way, they face legendary figures like Baldur and the sons of Thor, blending heartfelt drama with epic battles.

Words from the Producer

Executive producer Ronald D. Moore – known for major works like Battlestar Galactica – spoke at San Diego Comic-Con. He confirmed that the scriptwriting process is going very well, and the team is excited to dive deeper into the rich mythology of the game, offering audiences something fresh and visually powerful.

Comparisons and Expectations

The success of HBO’s The Last of Us series raised expectations for God of War. That adaptation proved that video games can successfully transition into high-quality drama if treated with respect and care. Now, the spotlight is on Amazon: will they match or even surpass that achievement?
