"Amazon's God of War TV Series Greenlit for Season 2 Before Premiere"

The highly anticipated Amazon adaptation of the video game series *God of War* is already generating buzz even before its premiere, having been greenlit for two seasons. Showrunner Ronald D. Moore, known for his work on *Star Trek: The Next Generation*, *Deep Space Nine*, and the reimagined *Battlestar Galactica*, took the helm after the exit of previous showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus. In a recent chat with *Battlestar Galactica* co-star Katee Sackhoff, 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. Amazon has commissioned two seasons, and I've been brought in to lead the creative charge," Moore revealed. "I'm currently immersed in the writer's room, crafting the narrative for this exciting new series."

Moore, who admitted he isn't much of a gamer but enjoys classics like *Defender*, *Asteroids*, and *Centipede*, humorously shared his struggles with modern gaming controls. "I took a stab at it, but those controllers are a mystery to me. 'Press R1.' Which one's R1? Oh, I'm dead," he quipped.

In his role for *God of War*, Moore serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. His rich experience in television, from sci-fi staples to critically acclaimed series, positions him well to translate the epic tale of Kratos and his son Atreus to the screen. Despite some changes in the production team, Sony's Cory Barlog remains involved as an executive producer, ensuring continuity with the beloved video game series.

Details about the *God of War* series are still sparse, but it's confirmed that the show will be based on the 2018 installment of the game. Amazon's confidence in the project is evident, as seen with their swift renewals of other video game adaptations like *Fallout* and *Secret Level* after successful launches. This trend suggests a promising future for *God of War* on the streaming platform.
