Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Prime Video announced Wednesday that it has cast the lead in its God of War series. Ryan Hurst will play Kratos in the series.

Kratos was the star of 10 God of War games for Sony's PlayStation. Hurst even played Thor in God of War: Ragnarök.

Ronald D. Moore adapts the games. He previously adapted the series Battlestar Galactica and Outlander.

The series is based on the two most recent God of War games. It will focus on Kratos and his son, Atreus.

Previous games will be part of Kratos' backstory as a Spartan warrior who sold his soul to Ares for victory.
