The God of War TV Series: Cast, Story and What We KnowPrime Video's live-action God of War series has a two-season order, Ronald D. Moore as showrunner and, after a stunt injury forced a recast, Dave Bautista as Kratos. Here is what Amazon, Sony and the trade press have confirmed so far, and what nobody has announced yet.
How Did Kratos Become the God of War?Kratos became the God of War by killing the last one. After ten years serving Olympus, he used Pandora's Box to grow to a god's size, killed Ares with the Blade of the Gods, and was given his empty throne. Decades later he took the title again in the north.
Why Did Kratos Kill Baldur?Kratos killed Baldur to stop him strangling his own mother, Freya. He had already spared Baldur once. Here is the fight, the mistletoe that made it possible, and why Kratos saw the killing as ending a cycle of children killing parents.
Why Did Kratos Kill Helios?Kratos killed Helios because the sun god stood with Zeus, lied to him about the Flame of Olympus, and had something Kratos could use: a head that shone like the sun. Here is what happens in God of War III and why it plunged Greece into darkness.
Why Did Kratos Kill Zeus?Kratos killed Zeus for revenge. Zeus betrayed him at Rhodes, stripped him of his godhood and killed him, all because he feared his son would overthrow him. Here is how the feud built across three games and how it ended.
