Ever since Kratos first threw a punch at the gods (and his feelings), players have been enthralled by the God of War video game saga. With mythological mayhem, razor-sharp storytelling, and graphics so gorgeous they could make Apollo blush, the franchise won fans faster than Hermes on espresso. Now, over two years after it was announced for Prime Video, the live-action series is finally gaining momentum. At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, showrunner Ronald D. Moore confirmed the writers’ room is alive, well, and battling plotlines like Valkyries.

Armed with an exceptional cast, a jaw-dropping plot, and a release date in the works, the series promises divine chaos you will want to schedule around.

Though Amazon has reportedly ordered two seasons of God of War upfront, fans may need the patience of Odin himself. Showrunner Ronald D. Moore confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con 2025 that filming will not begin until 2026 at the earliest. With scripts still in progress and production plans lingering in the mist, the series remains in its mythic prelude stage. The first season is expected to span ten episodes, whenever it finally marches onto screens.

The God of War series will adapt the Norse-era saga introduced in the 2018 video game, chronicling Kratos’ reluctant redemption arc as a father to Atreus, his arrow-slinging, prophecy-haunted son. Expect frost giants, family drama, and gods in various states of disrepair as Kratos navigates fatherhood while simultaneously bludgeoning mythological beings. With Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions co-producing and Ronald D. Moore at the helm, this saga has all the ingredients to storm television with a vengeance.

The right cast could turn divine melodrama into pure Emmy bait, assuming they can swing an axe and a monologue with equal skill.

Though official casting for God of War has not begun, the fandom is already deep in fan-casting territory. The internet has loudly nominated Christopher Judge, who voiced Kratos in the 2018 game, for the live-action version. However, others are calling for larger-than-life stars like Dave Bautista or Jason Momoa, citing their brooding physiques and gritted-jaw charisma. Sunny Suljic, who voiced Atreus, has also emerged as a fan-favorite, though age may prove a Norse curse.

These hypothetical casting choices reflect the scale fans expect for one of the biggest video games adaptions that raked in millions. With God of War promising emotional depth and epic battles, many hope for a lineup capable of shouldering both axes and Shakespearean tension. Social media has become a battleground of headcanons, memes, and dream trailers, proving that even without a frame shot, anticipation is already mythological in scale.
