Amazon's God of War Series Greenlit for Season 2 Pre-Release

Amazon's highly anticipated God of War TV series, though yet to premiere, has already secured a commitment for two seasons, according to showrunner Ronald D. Moore. Moore stepped in to lead the project following the exit of previous showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus. In a recent conversation with his Battlestar Galactica colleague Katee Sackhoff, Moore shared insights into his current endeavors.

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

Moore, who admits he's not a gamer, finds enjoyment in 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 as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. His previous work includes notable contributions to Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, as well as serving as the showrunner for the acclaimed 2000s Battlestar Galactica series.

Despite the departure of some team members, Sony's Cory Barlog continues to serve as an executive producer. While details about the series remain sparse, it is confirmed that the show 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.
