Amazon's eagerly awaited adaptation of the video game God of War is set to hit the screens with not one, but two confirmed seasons. This exciting news comes directly from the new showrunner, Ronald D. Moore, who has stepped in following the exit of Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus. In a candid conversation with Katee Sackhoff, Moore revealed his involvement in this high-profile project, stating, "Right now, I'm working on an adaptation of, there's a video game called God of War, a big title in the gaming world that Amazon has ordered two seasons of and they've asked me to come in. So I'm literally in the writer's room, and working on that. That's my new thing."

Despite not being a traditional gamer, Moore, who enjoys classic games like Defender, Asteroids, and Centipede, shared a humorous anecdote about his struggles with modern game controllers: "'Press R1.' Which one's R1? Oh, I'm dead," he quipped. His role in the God of War series extends beyond writing; he also serves as an executive producer and showrunner, bringing his extensive experience from projects like Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and the critically acclaimed Battlestar Galactica to the table.

While the departure of some key members of the original team marks a significant change, Sony's Cory Barlog remains on board as an executive producer, ensuring continuity with the game's vision. The series will be based on the 2018 installment of God of War, promising a faithful adaptation of the beloved title.

Amazon's track record of swiftly renewing successful video game adaptations like the Fallout TV show and Secret Level suggests a promising future for the God of War series on their streaming platform. Fans can look forward to seeing how this epic tale unfolds across two seasons.
