Worldwide The Absolute Number 1, Everyone Is Watching This Series On Apple TV+; "This Is Bigger Than Game Of Thrones"
The new series "Chief of War" starring Jason Momoa is taking the world by storm on Apple TV+.
The new Apple TV+ series Chief of War has quickly risen to become the most popular title on Apple TV+ within just a few days. The series has entered the top 3 most-watched series of the streaming service across various countries in no time.
Starring Jason Momoa, the series has been available globally since August 1, 2025, and is not only receiving high viewership but also enjoys an impressive IMDb rating of 8.0 based on over 2,000 votes.
The series follows Ka'iwana (Jason Momoa), a Hawaiian war chief who resists the forced political unification of the islands under Kamehameha I at the end of the 18th century. The show combines grand-scale battle scenes with cultural traditions and historical authenticity, largely due to dialogues spoken in Hawaiian.
In an interview, Momoa shared that someone from his team, familiar with the Game of Thrones circles, was amazed by the scope of the project: “This is bigger than Game of Thrones could ever be. Forget dragons, dude — this thing is insane.” He emphasized that Chief of War doesn't rely on fantasy, but on raw historical reality that seems to hit harder than dragons and magical kingdoms. Whether this will indeed be the case remains to be seen, but it’s clear the series starts off strong.
Chief of War is exclusively available on Apple TV+. The first two episodes premiered last week, with new episodes released weekly every Friday. Each episode runs for about 50 minutes.
