Prime Video God Of War Series Finally Lands A Timeline After Years Of Rumors
A report just spilled the kind of detail Amazon has been dodging for years — and it could finally lock the God of War series into production mode.
God of War fans, we might finally have a timeline. After years of stop-and-go chatter, there is a new report that puts the live-action Prime Video series on a real calendar. No, Amazon hasn’t announced it themselves yet, but here’s what’s moving behind the scenes.
Where things stand right now
Nexus Point News says the show is gearing up to start filming in March 2026 in Vancouver. Casting is still underway, so don’t expect big name drops just yet. Translation: the machine is turning, but we’re not at the reveal stage.
How we got here (aka the long road)
- 2022: Amazon officially announces a live-action God of War series for Prime Video. Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby (Children of Men, Iron Man) are set to write, with Rafe Judkins (The Wheel of Time) as showrunner.
- 2024: That whole creative trio reportedly exits after Sony and Amazon decide they want to steer the show in a different direction. Inside baseball, but not unusual for a high-profile game adaptation.
- After the shake-up: Ronald D. Moore steps in as lead writer, showrunner, and executive producer. He’s the veteran behind the Battlestar Galactica reboot, co-creator of Outlander, and a longtime Star Trek writer (TNG, Deep Space Nine, Voyager). Also involved: Philip K. Dick’s Electric Dreams.
- Still on board as executive producers: Cory Barlog, Asad Qizilbash, Carter Swan, Hermen Hulst, and Roy Lee. That’s a lot of continuity from the PlayStation side of things, which matters for tone and lore.
So what is the show actually covering?
This isn’t a straight Greek-era Kratos story. Amazon’s logline frames it around the Norse chapter of his life — the pivot the games made when they moved to Midgard.
"After exiling himself from his blood-soaked past in ancient Greece, [Kratos] hangs up his weapons forever in the Norse realm of Midgard."
For anyone new to the franchise: God of War is a PlayStation action-adventure series from Santa Monica Studio. The modern entries lean hard into character, myth, and monstrous parenting challenges — which is probably why Amazon thinks it works as TV.
The bottom line
If the March 2026 Vancouver start date holds, the show has finally cleared the biggest hurdle: a stable creative team under Ronald D. Moore and a production window. It took a couple of regime changes to get here, but that can be a good thing if the new vision is tighter. Now we wait for casting — the piece that will either calm everyone down or set the internet on fire.
