Amazon’s God of War TV Show Finally Moves Toward Filming

Amazon’s long-awaited God of War television series is finally moving closer to reality, with fresh reports suggesting that filming could officially kick off in March 2026. According to Nexus Point News, production is expected to take place in Vancouver, a city that has become a magnet for major Hollywood and streaming projects.

The reasons are clear: tax incentives, a favorable Canadian dollar, and access to skilled crews and world-class studios. Vancouver’s diverse natural landscapes also make it an ideal stand-in for the mythological backdrops the show will demand.

The project has had a turbulent road to this point. First announced in December 2022, the series went through a major shake-up about a year ago when Amazon decided to reboot the creative team. That’s when Ronald D. Moore, a name familiar to science fiction fans, stepped in as showrunner, head writer, and executive producer. Moore’s track record spans Star Trek: The Next Generation, Battlestar Galactica, Outlander, and the acclaimed For All Mankind. His involvement signals that Amazon is taking this adaptation seriously.

Moore is not alone. A stacked writing team has been assembled, featuring Matthew Graham (Life on Mars), Stephanie Shannon (Outlander), Naren Shankar (The Expanse), Joe Menosky (Star Trek: Discovery), Marc D. Bernardin (Castle Rock), and Tania Lotia (The Witcher). Collectively, these writers bring a wealth of genre experience that could help translate Kratos’s brutal, emotional journey from console to screen.

If production really does start in spring 2026, casting decisions have likely already been made behind the scenes, with an official reveal expected later this year. Fans are eager to know who will embody Kratos and Atreus, and speculation is running wild across forums and social media. Given typical production cycles, it’s reasonable to expect the series could land on Prime Video sometime in 2027.

This project fits into Amazon’s broader push into adapting video game franchises. The company has already tasted success with Fallout, which became one of Prime Video’s breakout hits and has multiple seasons confirmed. On the flip side, Like a Dragon: Yakuza underwhelmed audiences, showing just how risky this strategy can be. Still, Amazon isn’t slowing down. In addition to God of War, projects in the pipeline include a Tomb Raider series starring Sophie Turner, a Mass Effect adaptation from the Fallout producers, a Wolfenstein series, a Life is Strange show, and even a Warhammer 40,000 cinematic universe with Henry Cavill attached.

For fans of Kratos’s saga, the prospect of seeing Norse gods, epic battles, and emotional father-son storytelling on screen is both thrilling and nerve-racking. The question remains: will Amazon stay true to the essence of the games, or will it chase trends and risk alienating the very audience that made God of War iconic? With Moore at the helm and a team of proven writers onboard, cautious optimism may be justified – but fans are already bracing for the possibility of disappointment.
