After a few years \u2014 and a few shakeups \u2014 it looks like Amazon’s God of War<\/em> series is finally full speed ahead. The video game adaptation is now in pre-production in Vancouver and has been bumped up to a two-season order, Deadline<\/em> reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n The latest update includes news that Frederick E.O. Toye will direct the first two episodes of God of War<\/em>. Toye has led episodes of shows such as Fallout<\/em>, The Boys<\/em> and Westworld<\/em>. In 2024, his work on Shogun <\/em>won him the Emmy for outstanding directing for a drama series.<\/p>\n Amazon first announced God of War<\/em>‘s TV adaptation in 2022<\/a>. Last year, the show lost its original showrunner<\/a>, with Ronald D. Moore<\/a> coming aboard soon after.<\/p>\n The show is based on 2018’s God of War<\/em> video game, which finds inspiration in Norse mythology. As Amazon puts it, the show “follows father and son Kratos and Atreus as they embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye. Through their adventures, Kratos tries to teach his son to be a better god, while Atreus tries to teach his father how to be a better human.”<\/p>\n Casting is currently underway for the roles of Kratos and Atreus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
