Chief of War Episode 7 Release Date Revealed — Here's When and Where to Watch
Chief of War is racing toward the end of its first season, and fans are already counting down to Episode 7.
Apple TV+ is about to drop a new Chief of War, and Episode 7 has a title you might do a double take on: 'Day of Spilled Brains.' Yes, really. The hour leans into the show's simmering tensions, with locals clashing over what to do about newly arrived outsiders.

What this show is doing
Chief of War is a historical miniseries digging into the history of the Hawaiian Islands through the story of warrior chief Ka'iana. Jason Momoa stars and co-created the series with Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, and the cast also includes Luciane Buchanan, Temuera Morrison, Te Ao o Hinepehinga, and Cliff Curtis, among others. Episode 7 keeps pushing the political fault lines, this time over how to deal with the new arrivals at the shore.
'With Hawaii's four kingdoms divided by war, the ferocious warrior Ka'iana embarks on an epic mission to unite his people—as an existential threat approaches their shores.'
Short version: expect heated strategy debates, shifting alliances, and that wonderfully blunt episode title to make sense fast.
