Number 1 In Over 60 Countries And "Bigger Than Game Of Thrones", An Epic Historical Drama Is A Viewing Sensation
Apple TV+'s "Chief of War" is captivating audiences worldwide with its powerful story about the unification of Hawaii.
Apple TV+ is making waves globally with a new historical series showcasing significant ambition. Chief of War, an expansive miniseries about the unification of Hawaii, is rapidly climbing the ratings charts and currently dominates the streaming rankings in numerous countries. The series demonstrates a serious approach to the genre, as evidenced by its international success and impressive reception so far.
Chief of War is the second project Jason Momoa is developing for Apple TV+, following See. This time, he not only stars in front of the camera but is also involved in script development. The series narrates the story of Kaʻiana, a nobleman and war hero living at the end of the 18th century, when the various island kingdoms of Hawaii are on the brink of being united under one flag.
Kaʻiana initially tries to distance himself from the conflict but is called back by his former commander Kahekili. What follows is not a straightforward tale of heroism but a personal quest within a political landscape filled with pressure, division, and foreign interference. The series links personal dilemmas to historical events, as the protagonist becomes increasingly entangled in the repercussions of loyalty, power, and colonial influence.
Since August 1, the first episodes have been released on Apple TV+, and the title has steadily climbed. Currently, the series holds the top spot in over 60 countries.
Early reactions are also positive. On Rotten Tomatoes, the series boasts an 82 percent audience score on the Popcornmeter, while professional critics are even more enthusiastic with a score of 93 percent on the Tomatometer. Whether Chief of War can maintain this success will be revealed as the weekly episodes lead toward the finale on September 19.
