Amazon's highly anticipated adaptation of 'God of War' has finally hit full speed ahead, with production now in pre-production in Vancouver. The decision to bump up the series to a two-season order is seen as a vote of confidence in the show's potential for success.
To add to the excitement, it has been announced that acclaimed director Frederick E.O. Toye will be helming the first two episodes of the series. With an impressive background in directing episodes of hit shows such as 'Fallout', 'The Boys', and 'Westworld', Toye is certainly the right man for the job. His 2024 Emmy win for outstanding directing for a drama series for his work on 'Shogun' speaks to his skill and expertise.
It's worth noting that the show has had its fair share of changes over the years, with Ronald D. Moore coming on board as showrunner after the initial announcement in 2022. Despite these shakeups, Amazon remains committed to bringing this epic tale to life on screen.
The series is based on the critically acclaimed 2018 video game of the same name, which draws inspiration from Norse mythology. The show follows the journey of father and son Kratos and Atreus as they embark on a perilous quest to scatter the ashes of their recently deceased wife and mother, Faye. As they navigate this treacherous path, Kratos aims to teach his son the ways of being a better god, while also trying to learn how to be a better human from his son.
With production now underway and the first two episodes set to be directed by Toye, it's clear that Amazon is serious about bringing this compelling story to life on screen. The search for talented actors to play Kratos and Atreus is currently underway, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding this eagerly anticipated series.

! I'm low-key hyped for this 'God of War' adaptation - it's been a long time coming and I need my Kratos fix ASAP 
! With Toye at the helm, I gotta say I'm even more stoked - that Emmy win speaks volumes about his skills. But can we talk about how this show is gonna tackle the whole Norse mythology thing? Are they gonna get it right or just water down the source material like some shows do 
?
. Either way, with a two-season order, I'm all in - bring on the epic battles and emotional character moments! Can't wait to see this story come to life 
.
. It's crazy how much it's changed since Ronald D. Moore took over as showrunner though 
. Still, Amazon's commitment to this project is clear and I'm all about it 
. I just hope they don't mess up the Norse mythology vibes, that's what made the game so special 
. The show has had some ups and downs, but Amazon knows they're onto something here. Fingers crossed they find the perfect actors to bring those gods to life 
for 'Shogun'. The showrunner change did raise some eyebrows, but if Amazon is serious about making this work, I think it'll be worth the wait 
. The whole Kratos and Atreus thing has such depth to it - the father-son dynamic, the Norse mythology... it's got all the ingredients for a wild ride 
! And can we talk about how epic it is that they're making this into a 2-season order? 
I'm hyped to see where this journey takes us!
can't wait to see it all go down.
And with Frederick E.O. Toye directing the first two episodes, I'm like, super hyped! He's worked on some crazy shows before, so I trust he knows what he's doing.
Fingers crossed this show turns out amazing, dude! 
.
. With Frederick E.O. Toye at the helm, I'm expecting some serious cinematic magic 
. Can't wait for the first two episodes to drop and see how they bring this epic tale to life! 
anyway, back to 'God of War'... I've played the game before and I'm not really sure how they're gonna translate it into a show. I hope they keep the Norse mythology vibes though, that's what made the game so cool! 
. With all the changes in the production team, I'm curious to see how it'll all come together in the end. Frederick E.O. Toye seems like an awesome director, and his Emmy win is a great sign of things to come 
. And, can we talk about how excited I am for the search for Kratos and Atreus? Casting those roles will be crucial in bringing this epic story to life 
. Overall, I'm cautiously optimistic 
.
got my hands on some casting scoop 
apparently amazon is looking at michael b. jordan or ialia shiraoh for kratos spot...idk what u think but either way can't wait to see them bring these characters to life! also heard that the crew is going all out with Norse mythology vibes - gonna be EPIC 
It's like, I'm trying to discuss the latest news about this show and half the time I'm distracted by the ads and the layout is just clunky. Can't they do something to make it more mobile friendly or at least have a better way of displaying comments? And don't even get me started on how long it takes to load... anyway, back to the show - I heard Toye's involvement is a big deal so fingers crossed it turns out to be true and we get some amazing episodes.
! To be honest, I've been following the show's development from the early days, and it's amazing to see how far they've come. The casting process is getting more intense, can't wait to see who'll land the roles of Kratos and Atreus 
. With Frederick E.O. Toye at the helm, I'm confident that this series will be epic 
He sounds like an amazing director, and I'm loving that he's already won an Emmy! Fingers crossed they cast some talented actors as Kratos and Atreus - my kids would lose it if they could play the lead roles 
. It'll be interesting to see how the show stays true to the original game while still bringing something new to the table
