Last week we heard that Amazon MGM Studios scrapped everything that was developed for them God of war series adaptation and that they would start from scratch.
The series was developed by the showrunner and executive producer Rafe Judkinsbut he abandoned the project. Now we have learned it Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica, for all humanity) was hired to take over as the new showrunner.
Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby AND Marco Fergus had completed multiple scripts for the series, but Amazon and Sony Pictures Television decided they wanted to take the show in a different creative direction.
Moore has a great talent for strong storytelling and character development in the shows he develops. He’s a fantastic choice for this show and I think he’s going to be badass God of war series.
Amazon previously described its vision for the adaptation: “The series follows Kratos, the god of war, who, after exile from his blood-soaked past in ancient Greece, hangs up his weapons forever in the Norse kingdom of Midgard.
“When his beloved wife dies, Kratos embarks on a perilous journey with his estranged son to scatter her ashes from the highest peak – his wife’s dying wish.
“Kratos soon realizes that the journey is an epic quest in disguise, one that will test the bonds between father and son and force Kratos to battle new gods and monsters for the fate of the world.”
Speaking previously about the series, Amazon Studios head of television Vernon Sanders said: “At the heart of it all is this story of fathers, sons and families, set in this giant epic landscape.
“If you’ve never played the game, you’re going to fall in love with the show and feel really invited. So we think it’s going to be great.”
What do you think about Moore taking on the God of war series for Amazon?
