Prime Video today announced that Ryan Hurst (Sons of Anarchy, Remember the Titans) has been cast as Kratos in the upcoming God of War series, based on PlayStation’s ancient mythology-themed video game. Ronald D. Moore (Outlander, Battlestar Galactica) serves as showrunner, executive producer, and writer
The series has received a two-season order, with pre-production underway in Vancouver, and casting has begun. Hurst previously played Thor in PlayStation’s God of War Ragnarök and was nominated for a BAFTA Award for his performance.
God of War follows father and son Kratos and Atreus as they embark on a journey to spread the ashes of their wife and mother, Faye. Through their adventures, Kratos tries to teach his son to be a better god, while Atreus tries to teach his father how to be a better human.
Kratos Character Description: Kratos is Spartan by birth, and a god by nature. Raised in a martial culture, he rose to command armies in service of his homeland until one day he made a fateful deal with Ares, the Greek God of War and lost his soul in exchange for being victorious in battle. Over the course of ten wildly successful games, Kratos vanquished mortals, creatures and gods alike. In the process, he became an iconic character in pop culture, known for his stoic nature, unchallenged combat skills, and tragic past. In God of War, the live action series, his story will closely follow the path of the last two games as he deals with something new: his ten year old son Atreus. This father and son dynamic began a whole new chapter in the legendary series and will be the heartbeat of the new show.
