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

Amazon's God of War TV series is generating significant buzz even before its premiere, as it has already been greenlit for two seasons. Showrunner Ronald D. Moore, who stepped in after the departure of Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus, shared insights about his involvement in an interview with Katee Sackhoff, his former colleague from Battlestar Galactica.

"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," Moore explained. "So I'm literally in the writer's room, and working on that. That's my new thing."

Despite not being a dedicated gamer, Moore has a fondness for classic arcade games like Defender, Asteroids, and Centipede. He humorously recounted his struggles with modern game controllers: "'Press R1.' Which one's R1? Oh, I'm dead," he quipped.

Moore's role extends beyond writing; he serves as an executive producer and showrunner for the series. His previous credits include notable shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and the acclaimed 2000s reboot of Battlestar Galactica.

While some members of the original team have moved on, Sony's Cory Barlog remains an executive producer, ensuring a strong connection to the game's roots. The series will be based on the 2018 installment of God of War.

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