Prime Video has given a series order to GodOfWar, based on PlayStation’s hugely popular ancient mythology-themed video game
Written by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby , with Rafe Judkins serving as showrunner, the series follows Kratos, the God of War, who, after exiling himself from his blood-soaked past in ancient Greece, hangs up his weapons forever in the Norse realm of Midgard. When his beloved wife dies, Kratos sets off on a dangerous journey with his estranged son to spread her ashes from the highest peak—his wife’s final wish.
Judkins executive produces the series with Oscar nominees Fergus and Ostby as well as Santa Monica Studio’s Studio Creative Director, Cory Barlog. Additional executive producers include Playstation Productions Asad Qizilbash and Carter Swan, Santa Monica Studio’s Yumi Yang as well as Vertigo’s Roy Lee. Santa Monica Studio’s Jeff Ketcham will serve as a co-executive producer.
“We are so proud and excited to be working with our friends at Amazon Studios and our partners at PlayStation Productions to adapt this beautiful and heartbreaking game into a premium live-action series,” said Katherine Pope, president of Sony Pictures Television Studios.“ Rafe, Mark and Hawk are crafting a transportive series that charts a path through the ancient mythological journey of Kratos.”
Following several titles on various PlayStation consoles including the PS3 and the handheld PSP, Santa Monica Studio rebooted the franchise with the 2018 game on the PlayStation 4. In it, Kratos comes to the Norse wilds where he gets a second chance at fatherhood with his son Atreus. The installment landed a slew of honors at the 2018 Game Awards, including Game of the Year.
