Last week, Amazon Studios officially announced that a God of War TV series is in the works for Prime Video – and it’ll stay faithful to the source material.
Vernon Sanders, head of television at Amazon Studios, told Collider that the show should satisfy longtime fans.
“We do incredibly well with adaptations, from Invincible to The Boys,” Sanders said. “I mean, we just covered so many of them, right? And so we know that there’s such a passionate fan base for God of War. But the thing that we’re always looking for is whether there is a real emotional core, if there’s a real narrative story, and I think [that’s] part of what makes God of War so special.”

Sanders also gave some insight regarding some of the people behind this project.
“At the center of it all is this story of fathers and sons, and families, set against this giant epic landscape,” Sanders continues. “So what Rafe [Judkins] (showrunner) and Mark [Fergus] and Hawk [Ostby] (writers) have come up with for the first season, and for the series, I think, is both incredibly true to the source material, and also compelling on its own. If you never played the game, you will fall in love with the show and feel very much invited in. So we think it’s going to be huge.”
This news comes not long after God of War Ragnarok won several categories at the 2022 Game Awards.
