According to Deadline, Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby, creator and executive producers of the critically-acclaimed The Expanse, will join Rafe Judkins, the executive producer and showrunner of The Wheel of Time, in the creation of this adaptation. Of course, as God of War is one of the flagship, exclusive franchises for the PlayStation brand, both Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions will assist in the production.
The God of War TV series is in negotiations to air specifically on Prime Video, where Amazon Studios would co-produce the show with Sony. Representatives for both have yet to provide a comment or confirmation on the series.
PlayStation Productions has made a significant push for TV adaptations of its franchises, bringing their gaming IP to a wider viewing audience.

The highly-anticipated The Last of Us TV adaptation, with Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as the principal leads, is also still in production by HBO.
