Amazon’s upcoming God of War TV series, even before its premiere, has already secured a two-season order, according to showrunner Ronald D. Moore.
Moore stepped into the role after the departure of previous showrunner Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus. In a conversation with fellow Battlestar Galactica alum Katee Sackhoff, Moore revealed his current project: "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," he shared. "So I'm literally in the writer's room, working on that. That's my new thing."

Interestingly, Moore admitted to not being a gamer, though he enjoys classic arcade titles like Defender, Asteroids, and Centipede. He humorously recounted his struggles with modern controllers: "'Press R1.' Which one's R1? Oh, I'm dead," he joked.
For the God of War series, Moore serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. His impressive resume includes work on Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and the acclaimed 2000s Battlestar Galactica.
While some members of the original team departed, Sony's Cory Barlog remains on board as executive producer. Details about the series remain scarce, but it will be based on the 2018 God of War game.
Amazon's swift renewal of video game adaptations like the Fallout TV show and Secret Level, following their successful premieres, suggests positive prospects for the God of War series.
