Amazon Prime Video Greenlights God of War TV Series

Boy, this will be interesting.

Well, it’s been strongly hinted at for quite some time, but now it’s official: Amazon Prime Video will adapt God of War into a television series. There are no further details in the juggernaut’s confirmation tweet, as it simply says “God of War is coming”. It then expands, on top of some God of War Ragnarok artwork, that it’s “ordered” a series inspired by the hit PlayStation franchise.

We’ll need to await further information on writers, directors, and cast choices, but it’s probably safe to assume that the series will be based on the Norse story arc, judging by the aforementioned artwork. While the origins of Kratos’ story are in Ancient Greece, we suppose it makes sense for Amazon Prime Video to adapt the more modern instalments, as they’re more relatable to a contemporary audience.
