Amazon's God of War Series Greenlit for Season 2 Before Season 1 Release

Amazon's highly anticipated God of War TV series is set to captivate audiences with not just one, but two confirmed seasons, as announced by the show's new showrunner, Ronald D. Moore. Moore stepped into the role following the exit of previous showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus. In a recent chat with Katee Sackhoff, a fellow alum from the acclaimed series Battlestar Galactica, Moore shared insights into his latest project.

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

Despite not being a seasoned gamer, Moore confessed to enjoying 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 impressive resume includes work on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, as well as his notable stint as the showrunner for the 2000s revival of Battlestar Galactica.

While some members of the original team have departed, Sony's Cory Barlog remains involved as an executive producer. Although details about the series are still sparse, it's confirmed that the show will be based on the critically acclaimed 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 God of War on the streaming platform.
