Divided islands. War on the horizon. The epic saga of Hawaiʻi's untold story.

“Chief of War” follows the epic and unprecedented telling of the unification and colonization of Hawai‘i at the turn of the 18th century. Told from an indigenous perspective, “Chief of War" is a passion project for creators Momoa and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett, who both share native Hawaiian heritage. The series features a predominantly Polynesian cast, led by Momoa alongside Luciane Buchanan, Temuera Morrison, Te Ao o Hinepehinga, Cliff Curtis, newcomer Kaina Makua, Moses Goods, Siua Ikale’o, Brandon Finn, James Udom, Mainei Kinimaka,Te Kohe Tuhaka and Benjamin Hoetjes.

“Chief of War" is produced for Apple TV+ by FIFTH SEASON and Chernin Entertainment. Momoa directs the season finale and serves as executive producer. Doug Jung serves as showrunner and executive produces along with Sibbett, Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, Tracey Cook and Brian Mendoza. Justin Chon directs the first two episodes and serves as executive producer. Anders Engstrom, Jim Rowe, Molly Allen, Francis Lawrence and Tim Van Patten also serve as executive producers. Grammy and Academy Award winning composer, Hans Zimmer wrote the theme music and co-produced the score for all nine episodes with composer, James Everingham, during his tenure with Bleeding Fingers Music, the multiple Emmy Award-winning and BAFTA-nominated composer collective co-founded by Zimmer in 2013.

Apple shooting in Hawaii. Yeah in. I wonder if Captain James Cook will make an appearance. 

This guy: John Meares - Wikipedia seems to be the major European figure.

There is an episode called "The Day of Spilled Brains" so if Cook makes an appearance, maybe that's it.

I wish someone would make a series adaptation of the Hampton Sides book "The Wide Wide Sea".

Didn't Aquaman make a billion dollars with him in the lead role?

I don't think Mamoa is a #1. He's much better as a role player. 

Wasn’t he really good in See? People forget about it bc it was one of the first Apple Originals
