Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios, said;
God of War is a compelling, character-driven franchise that we believe will captivate our global customers as much with its expansive and immersive worlds as its rich storytelling. We are honored to share in the adventure of exploring the God of War mythology in such a momentous way with Sony Pictures Television, PlayStation Productions, and Santa Monica Studio.
Sony Pictures TV president Katherine Pope stated:
We are so proud and excited to be working with our friends at Amazon Studios and our partners at PlayStation Productions to adapt this beautiful and heartbreaking game into a premium live-action series. Rafe, Mark, and Hawk are crafting a transportive series that charts a path through the ancient mythological journey of Kratos.
In case you’re wondering, the God of War TV series will skip the previous trilogy steeped in Greek mythology to focus on the Norse mythology arc featured in the 2018 soft reboot and the recently released sequel. In fact, the official blurb makes it clear that the show will begin exactly where the 2018 game did, with the death of Faye that sparked the journey of Kratos and Atreus to spread her ashes on the tallest peak of the Nine Realms.
