A new God of War TV series leak may have revealed casting details for characters like Kratos, Atreus, Odin, and more.
Amazon’s live-action God of War TV series is still a ways off from hitting screens, but it’s already one of the biggest game-to-TV adaptations in production. The project is based on the 2018 reboot of the iconic PlayStation franchise and follows Kratos and his son Atreus as they journey through a world rooted in Norse mythology.
There’s already been some big developments behind the scenes. After originally being led by The Wheel of Time’s Rafe Judkins, the show underwent a creative reset in late 2024. It’s now being helmed by Battlestar Galactica and Outlander creator Ronald D. Moore, who confirmed earlier this year that Amazon has already ordered two seasons of the show.
Now, we might have our first real look at the characters being cast, thanks to what appears to be a leaked casting call shared by well-known entertainment leaker DanielRPK.
God of War TV Series Casting Call Leak Reveals Key Roles and Requirements
On his private Patreon page (paywalled), DanielRPK posted a breakdown of roles being cast for the series. While Amazon hasn’t publicly confirmed any of these, the details line up pretty closely with the tone and story of the 2018 game. Filming for the God of War TV series is said to begin in March 2026 in Vancouver.
The casting descriptions use codenames, but they strongly hint at the core characters fans will recognize from the game. Kratos and Atreus appear under the names Zion and Joshua, while other roles seem to point toward Odin, Baldur, and even Sif.
Each character description focuses heavily on physicality, emotional complexity, and, in multiple cases, the need for actors to be comfortable with simulated sex scenes and nudity, which suggests the show will aim for a mature rating and not shy away from the darker parts of the story.
Here’s the full list from the leak:
- Zion (Kratos): A male in his 40s to 60s, any ethnicity. A war-hardened, muscular figure haunted by loss and a violent past. After his wife’s death, he’s forced to raise his 10-year-old son, though he struggles to connect emotionally. The role demands comfort with intense physicality, hand-to-hand combat, and possible nudity. (Series Regular)
- Alexander (Odin): A white male in his 60s to 70s. Despite his unassuming appearance, Alexander is described as a manipulative and god-like patriarch obsessed with prophecy and control. He’s powerful, cruel, and willing to sacrifice his own family for survival. (Series Regular)
- Joshua (Atreus): A boy aged 9 to 12, any ethnicity. Intelligent, curious, and emotionally neglected, Joshua seeks his father’s approval in a cold, unforgiving world. The role includes physical combat and weapons training. (One-Year Series Regular)
- Glen (Baldur?): A white male in his 30s to 40s. Handsome, sharp, and calculating, Glen feels overshadowed by his brothers and carries his father’s manipulative streak. The character requires comfort with combat, simulated sex, and nudity. (Series Regular)
- Phoebe (Sif?): Female, any ethnicity, Age 30s – 40s. A beautiful woman from modest roots, Phoebe’s life changed for the better after marrying a powerful man, granting her access to resources she never had. Despite her upbringing, she often feels like an outsider and must constantly prove herself to a family who doesn’t fully accept her. She has three children she loves dearly, but her husband’s descent into self-hatred and alcoholism led to their emotional drift. Phoebe’s quiet intelligence and diplomatic skills help her navigate the cruel world of gods, though she remains deeply suspicious of her father-in-law’s motives, especially concerning her daughter. Must be comfortable with simulated sex and nudity. (Series Regular)
Obviously, Zion and Joshua are stand-ins for Kratos and Atreus. Alexander has all the makings of Odin, while Glen seems to point toward Baldur, given the mention of sibling rivalry and manipulation. Phoebe likely represents Sif, hinting at family drama involving Thor and their daughter Thrúd, even if Thor himself isn’t directly named yet.
Of course, this is all unconfirmed. Until Amazon or the showrunners speak up, it’s best to take this leak with a grain of salt.
While the show is moving forward, Sony Santa Monica doesn’t seem to be done with the franchise on the gaming side either. A recent job listing spotted by The Game Post suggests the studio is working on a new third-person God of War title, possibly continuing Kratos’ story or spinning off another game.
