Whether Sony will find the sort of success with its upcoming PlayStation adaptations that it has with HBO’s The Last of Us remains to be seen, but it certainly has irons in the fire. For instance, a God of War adaptation has been in the works at Amazon Prime for a while, and it seems the series is starting off in confident fashion behind-the-scenes.
Speaking recently in an interview with Katee Sackhoff, Ronald D. Moore – the new God of War showrunner – offered an update on the show’s progress, and revealed that Amazon has already ordered two seasons for the adaptation.
“Right now I’m working on the adaptation of this videogame called God of War, it’s a big title in the gaming world that Amazon has ordered two seasons of and they asked me to come in, I’m literally in the writer’s room and that’s my new thing,” he said.
Last October, it was announced that Amazon Prime had rebooted the God of War show, with Moore, best known for his work on Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica, announced as its new showrunner, and previous showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus departing the project.
Meanwhile, leaks have claimed that a new God of War game set in Greece and starring a young Kratos is also in development. Read more on that through here.
