Amazon Prime’s God of War series begins filming next year

Back in December 2022, just weeks after the release of God of War Ragnarök for PS5, Amazon announced that it had signed a deal to produce a God of War TV series for the Prime Video service. Now several years on, production is finally set to begin. 

You may have forgotten that this show was announced, but the wheels of Hollywood can turn slowly. The production is now ready to go ahead, with scripts written and actors hired for filming to begin in March 2026. The shoots will take place in Vancouver, Canada, according to Nexuspointnews.

The God of War series on Amazon Prime will last for at least two seasons, with the second season already being greenlit. The show will follow the events of the 2018 video game, retelling the story of Kratos and his son, Atreus, as they look to take a dangerous journey to the highest peak in the realm in order to spread her ashes. Considering there will be a second season, the show may move on to the events of God of War Ragnarök afterwards.

The series has a prominent showrunner attached, Ronald D. Moore, who is known for Battlestar Galactica. The series won't be an exact shot-for-shot remake of the 2018 game, but as reported by Eurogamer, Moore has already spoken in-depth about remaining faithful to the characters and overall story.

KitGuru Says: If filming is beginning in 2026, then we should be looking at a late 2027 release, unless Amazon fast-tracks it like they did with the second season of Fallout.
