God of War TV series: What we know about the live-action show so far
Sony formed PlayStation Productions in 2019 to make movies and TV adaptations of its gaming properties, with the Uncharted film and the forthcoming HBO series of The Last of Us being its biggest productions to date.
Now it seems another massive PlayStation game IP is to be made into a television show: God of War.
The story of Kratos and, likely, his son (as introduced in the 2018 reboot) is said to have Amazon interested in the streaming rights. So, here’s everything we know about it so far.
God of War TV series release date, rumours and news
According to Deadline, Amazon’s Prime Video service is in negotiation for a live action adaptation of God of War, with the creators/producers of The Expanse reportedly in line to head up the project.
It will be made in collaboration with PlayStation Productions and Sony Pictures Television, it is said, with The Wheel of Time‘s showrunner, Rafe Judkins, also listed as being on the team.
God of War TV series: How to watch
Although these are still early days in the production schedule, the most likely outcome is that the entire TV series will be shown exclusively on Prime Video in the US, UK and elsewhere.
Sony has already shown that it’s happy to make shows for different platforms, with HBO making The Last of Us with the company, and a forthcoming series based on Twisted Metal being signed to Peacock.

God of War TV series: Casting suggestions
In terms of the production team, Deadline claims the co-creators of The Expanse, Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, are currently attached to the project, as well as The Wheel of Time’s showrunner, Rafe Judkins. However, no other official casting suggestions have been made.
God of War fans are making their own suggestions known though, with plenty tweeting about potential Kratos candidates – such as former WWE wrestlers Triple-H (Paul Levenscue) and The Rock (Dwayne Johnson).
