Amazon’s God of War TV series will finally start filming in March 2026, according to a new report. The series was announced almost three years ago in December 2022.
The God of War TV series that was announced years ago will finally start filming in March 2026.
According to a report from Nexus Point News, the series will follow Kratos’ “dangerous journey with his estranged son” to fulfil his wife’s dying wish to “spread [her] ashes from the highest peak” The series is set to start filming in Vancouver, Canada, next March.
Sadly, the report didn’t provide any further information regarding any casting news. All we know so far is that it is still “currently underway”.
It has been almost three years since Amazon initially announced that it would produce a live-action God of War adaptation. In that time, we’ve had stellar video game adaptations like The Last of Us, Mortal Kombat, A Minecraft Movie and Fallout, to name a few. All have proven to be mostly well-received adaptations by fans and general audiences alike.
So, given that God of War might just be one of the most famous franchises of all time, it makes sense why Amazon really want to get this one right.
The series has officially tapped showrunner Ronald D. Moore for the adaptation, who has helmed the series Electric Dreams and Battlestar Galactica. Moore has said that his vision for the series will remain faithful to the 2018 game, which shares the same premise, but won’t be a frame-by-frame remake.
“This world and this universe are really rich, and it’s interesting, and it’s really been fun to adapt,” Moore explained at the time. “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.”
Amazon has already greenlit a second season ahead of the first, so hopefully that’s an indicator that things behind the scenes are looking hopeful. Or, at the least, we’ll get to see the full 2018 game’s narrative fully adapted.
