The show will be co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and Amazon Studios in association with PlayStation Productions and will premiere on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide., Amazon had been in negotiations to acquire the rights to produce since March, and now it looks like it will all be going forward according to plan.The series will be written by Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, with Rafe Judkins serving as the showrunner.
The series follows Kratos, the God of War, who, according to the synopsis, “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.”
“Kratos soon realises the journey is an epic quest in disguise, one which will test the bonds between father and son, and force Kratos to battle new Gods and monsters for the fate of the world.” “The God of War is a compelling, character-driven franchise that we believe will captivate our global customers as much with its expansive and immersive worlds as its rich storytelling,” said Vernon Sanders, head of global television at Amazon Studios in a statement.
