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

The highly anticipated Amazon adaptation of the video game series "God of War" has already been greenlit for two seasons, even before its premiere, as announced by showrunner Ronald D. Moore. Moore, who succeeded Rafe Judkins and executive producers Hawk Ostby and Mark Fergus, shared insights into his involvement during a conversation with Katee Sackhoff, a fellow alum from the acclaimed series "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 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, including writer, executive producer, and showrunner. His previous work includes notable contributions to "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Deep Space Nine," as well as serving as the showrunner for the 2000s revival of "Battlestar Galactica."

While some members of the original team have departed, Sony's Cory Barlog continues to serve as an executive producer. Although details about the series remain sparse, it is confirmed that the show 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 the "God of War" series on the streaming platform.
