Kratos Heads to Prime Video: New Updates on the God of War Series

In this episode of Geek Freaks Headlines, we break down the latest updates on the upcoming God of War live-action series for Prime Video. Based on a Collider report and recent SDCC coverage, we dive into what's confirmed so far, including the show's timeline, characters, production details, and what fans can expect in terms of tone and storytelling. The show will adapt the Norse era from the 2018 game and feature Kratos and Atreus. With Cory Barlog involved and a two-season order already in place, the series is shaping up to be one of Amazon’s biggest game-to-screen adaptations yet.

Timestamps and Topics:

  • 00:00 Intro and quick headline

  • 00:05 Series will follow Norse era storyline (2018 game)

  • 00:10 Kratos and Atreus confirmed as leads

  • 00:15 Show’s tone will match the game’s balance of seriousness and spectacle

  • 00:22 Cory Barlog joins production team

  • 00:28 Two seasons already greenlit, Season 1 will be 10 episodes

  • 00:33 Series is coming to Prime Video

  • 00:37 Scripts in progress, filming starts early 2026

  • 00:40 Host reflects on why Norse era is the right choice

  • 00:48 Importance of visuals in pulling it off

Key Takeaways:

  • The live-action God of War series will focus on the Norse mythology arc, not the original Greek-era games.

  • Kratos and Atreus will be central to the story, staying true to the emotional tone of the 2018 reboot.

  • The show aims to capture the mix of intimate storytelling and large-scale mythological action.

  • Game director Cory Barlog is actively involved in production.

  • Amazon has committed to two seasons, with Season 1 consisting of ten episodes.

  • Scripts are being written now, and filming is scheduled for 2026.

Memorable Quotes:

“They want to emulate the tone of the game as much as possible... serious dialog, then suddenly big grandiose fights.”

“This is the era I wanted them to do. Greek God of War, misplaced out of Greece into Norse mythology — learning the story of his fallen wife and this trickster son.”
