What to expect from Chief of War season 1?
Hawaiian warrior chief Ka'iana, known for his travels outside his islands, faces a grave threat to the islands as the foreign invaders approach them. Chief of War brings the real-life story of the Hawaiian struggle against colonization in the late 18th century. It sheds light on the intense strife that unified the Kingdom of Hawai'i to fight against the impending threat.
However, the feat is not easy for Ka'iana to achieve, as several internal struggles and complications act as barriers to their unification. With the inner turmoil making matters difficult and the colonizers inching forward into their lands, the series will take a look at the battle from the perspective of Ka'iana and his community.
The official description of the series reads:
"With Hawai'i's four kingdoms divided by war, the ferocious warrior Ka'iana (Jason Momoa) embarks on an epic mission to unite his people- as an existential threat approaches their shores. Based on true events."
The series is created by Jason Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, both of whom have Hawaiian roots. The creators have tried to bring their culture and story to viewers through Chief of War. The cast members also mainly come from Polynesian descent, which only adds an authentic touch to the series.
Chief of War will begin streaming exclusively on Apple TV+ on August 1, 2025.
