'God of War' TV series adaptation eyed by Prime Video

PlayStation's flagship action-adventure franchise 'God of War' is heading to television as Prime Video is in negotiations for a live-action TV series based on the hugely popular ancient mythology-themed game, sources said.

According to deadline.com, the series adaptation comes from The Expanse creators/executive producers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby and 'The Wheel of Time' executive producer/showrunner Rafe Judkins as well as Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions, which collaborate on all TV series based on PlayStation games.

This would mark the latest big deal for a TV series based on a popular video game title in a red-hot streaming marketplace for gaming IP.

Peacock just landed another SPT/PlayStation property, Twisted Metal, with a series order and Anthony Mackie starring. HBO has coming up the high-profile PlayStation game-based series 'The Last of Us', starring Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey. Netflix has a Resident Evil TV series in the works, while Paramount+ is about to debut 'Halo'.

Amazon Studios has been particularly aggressive in the arena. It has Killer Film's upcoming TV series 'Fallout', starring Walton Goggins; it is developing a Mass Effect series adaptation; and just closed a first-look deal with dj2 Entertainment to develop TV series based on gaming IP.
