"This Is Bigger Than Game Of Thrones", 10 Million Views For Epic Series Premiering August 1 On Apple TV+
Jason Momoa stars in Chief of War, an epic Hawaiian miniseries debuting on August 1.
In the trailer for the Apple TV+ series Chief of War, which has garnered over 2 million views on YouTube, Jason Momoa rides a shark through the ocean. This striking image perfectly summarizes the grand and unconventional nature of this production. According to Momoa himself, this is just the beginning: the series is said to be his most impressive work to date.
The Hawaiian miniseries will be exclusively available on Apple TV+ starting August 1, with two episodes released at once. Afterward, a new episode will follow weekly until September 19. Chief of War consists of nine episodes and is fully anchored by Momoa, who not only stars but also co-wrote, produced, and directed alongside his long-time creative partner Thomas Paʻa Sibbett.
According to Momoa, this new project is his most ambitious work yet. A colleague who previously worked on Game of Thrones stated: this is bigger than Game of Thrones ever could be. Forget dragons, man. This is madness. Momoa’s resume includes titles like Dune, Fast & Furious 10, and Justice League, but none of them offered the scale and cultural significance of this historical series, according to him.
The series is set at the end of the 18th century when various Hawaiian kingdoms are battling each other. Central to the story is Kaʻianna (Momoa), a noble warrior from the island of Kauaʻi who was one of the first to travel beyond the archipelago. Upon his return, he becomes embroiled in internal conflicts but soon realizes that foreign powers pose a greater threat than the rival islands.
In addition to Momoa, the series features Temuera Morrison (The Mandalorian), Luciane Buchanan (The Night Agent), and Cliff Curtis (Avatar). The music is composed by Hans Zimmer and James Everingham, who previously collaborated on Frozen Planet II.
