According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show has been in development since March and will, notably, focus on Kratos’ dad years in Midgard as per 2018’s God of War reboot, rather than the ultra-violent Greek-mythology-inspired adventures of Kratos’ earlier games. Here’s how the show’s official description teases its plot: “When his beloved wife dies, Kratos sets off on a dangerous journey with his estranged son to spread her ashes from the highest peak - his wife’s final wish. Kratos soon realises the journey is an epic quest in disguise, one which will test the bonds between father and son, and force Kratos to battle new gods and monsters for the fate of the world.”
