Amazon's God of War TV Series Already Set for Season 2 Before Season 1 Has a Release Date

Amazon's highly anticipated God of War TV series is set to captivate audiences with not one, but two confirmed seasons, as announced by the show's new showrunner, Ronald D. Moore. Moore stepped into the role following the exit of previous showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus. In a recent chat with Katee Sackhoff, a fellow alum from the acclaimed series Battlestar Galactica, Moore shared insights into his latest project.

"Right now, I'm working on an adaptation of a video game called God of War, a major title in the gaming world that Amazon has ordered two seasons of, and they've asked me to come in," Moore revealed. "So I'm literally in the writer's room, working on that. That's my new thing."

Despite not being a seasoned gamer, Moore expressed his enjoyment of classic arcade games like Defender, Asteroids, and Centipede. He humorously recounted his struggles with modern game controllers, saying, "'Press R1.' Which one's R1? Oh, I'm dead."

For the God of War series, Moore has taken on multiple roles, including writer, executive producer, and showrunner. His impressive resume includes work on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, as well as his role as showrunner for the critically acclaimed 2000s Battlestar Galactica.

While some members of the original team have departed, Sony's Cory Barlog remains involved as an executive producer. Although details are sparse, it's confirmed that the series will be based on the 2018 God of War game.

Amazon's swift renewals of other video game adaptations, such as the Fallout TV show and Secret Level, following their successful launches, suggest a promising future for the God of War series on the streaming platform.
