The show has already been greenlit for two seasons, signaling Amazon’s confidence in the project’s potential to become a major franchise addition alongside other gaming adaptations.
Leading the adaptation is Ronald D. Moore — known for his work on Battlestar Galactica and Outlander — who serves as showrunner and executive producer, while Emmy-winning director Frederick E.O. Toye is directing the first two episodes.

Production has released the first official images of Kratos and Atreus in costume, with Ryan Hurst cast as Kratos and Callum Vinson as Atreus, recreating visual beats familiar to fans of the games. The narrative follows the pair’s quest to scatter the ashes of Kratos’s wife Faye, framing a journey that blends mythic action with deep emotional stakes.
The ensemble cast also includes prominent actors such as Mandy Patinkin as Odin, Ed Skrein as Baldur, Max Parker as Heimdall, Olafur Darri Olafsson as Thor, Teresa Palmer as Sif, Alastair Duncan as Mimir, and Jeff Gulka and Danny Woodburn as the Dwarven brothers Sindri and Brok.
