Amazon Prime Video’s “God of War” series will cast Callum Vinson as Atreus. The story of the two most recent “God of War” games, in which Kratos must look after his son, will be the series’s starting point. He will parent his son while engaging in fights with the god of battle in the Nordic myth.
The logline duly stated, “Father and son Kratos and Atreus 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.”
Atreus is also explained as “the ten-year-old son of Kratos, who grew up in a remote forest cabin, isolated from the rest of the world and raised almost entirely by his mother, Faye. He is an accomplished archer, has an affinity for animals and is intensely curious about what lies beyond the confines of his forest home. After his mother’s death, Atreus is left with a cold, distant father who he barely knows and who knows little about him in return. Nonetheless, Atreus yearns for his father’s approval and is desperate to prove he is strong enough to survive in a harsh and dangerous world.”
In addition to his roles in popular shows like “Long Bright River” and “Poker Face” at Peacock and “FBI: International” at CBS, Vinson formerly starred in the Amazon series “Dead Ringers”.
