"Amazon's God of War TV Series Greenlit for Season 2 Pre-Release"

Amazon's highly anticipated God of War TV series, based on the iconic 2018 video game, is already set for two seasons even before its premiere. This exciting news comes from the show's new showrunner, Ronald D. Moore, who stepped in after the departure of previous showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus. In a recent interview with Katee Sackhoff, a fellow alum from the acclaimed series Battlestar Galactica, Moore shared insights into his current projects.

"Right now, I'm working on an adaptation of 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," Moore explained. "So I'm literally in the writer's room, working on that. That's my new thing."

Despite not being a seasoned gamer, Moore expressed his enjoyment of classic arcade games like Defender, Asteroids, and Centipede. He humorously recounted his struggles with modern game controllers, saying, "'Press R1.' Which one's R1? Oh, I'm dead."

For the God of War series, Moore has taken on multiple roles as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. His extensive experience includes working on Star Trek: The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, as well as serving as the showrunner for the critically acclaimed 2000s Battlestar Galactica.

While some members of the original team have moved on, Sony's Cory Barlog remains involved as an executive producer. Although details about the series are still sparse, it is confirmed that the show will be based on the 2018 God of War game.

Amazon's swift renewals of other video game adaptations, such as the Fallout TV show and Secret Level, following their successful debuts, suggest a promising future for the God of War series on the streaming platform.
