"This Blows Game Of Thrones Away, This Is Insane", Starting Friday You Can Finally Watch This Unparalleled Viewing Fest
Jason Momoa's "Chief of War" is an innovative series redefining historical drama with epic battles and rich narratives.
Anyone who thought the era of epic battles, bloody power struggles, and impressive world-building was over will soon find a new obsession. Chief of War, the highly anticipated Apple TV+ series starring Jason Momoa, is set to offer a groundbreaking viewing experience according to its creators. It even openly cites Game of Thrones as a benchmark that it aims to surpass.
The historical drama series is set in Hawaii in the 18th century and follows the rise of Ka'iana, a warrior rebelling against the kingdom of Hawaii in an effort to unite his people. Jason Momoa, who previously portrayed an iconic warrior as Khal Drogo, is not only the lead actor but also the creator and producer of the project.
According to a source who worked on Game of Thrones, the scale of Chief of War is almost beyond comprehension. Their statement leaves little room for nuance: "This blows Game of Thrones away. Forget the dragons, this is just insane." This positions Apple’s series as more than just a prestige project; it aims to be a cultural moment.
Where fantasy series often hide behind mythical creatures and magic, Chief of War draws its strength from reality, tradition, and colonial history. The trailer hints at a series filled with physical intensity, political dynamics, and personal tragedy, all set against the backdrop of an underappreciated but rich culture.
The first two episodes of Chief of War will be released this coming Friday, August 1, 2025, on Apple TV+, followed by a new episode each week.
