God of War TV Series Casts Max Parker as Heimdall, Norse Watchman with a God Complex

Emmerdale’s Luke Posner is trading sheep for swords as Amazon’s God of War TV series casts Max Parker as the Norse god with a superiority complex. Deadline describes Heimdall as “a god in his own right with the special ability to anticipate what’s about to happen at any moment.”

Parker joins Ryan Hurst (Kratos) and Teresa Palmer (Sif) in the ensemble. The series is showrun by Ronald D. Moore (Battlestar Galactica) and directed by Frederick E.O. Toye (Shōgun), a banger duo with a track record of high-stakes drama.

Season 2 has already been greenlit before the first season’s release window is confirmed, signaling Amazon’s grindy development timeline.
