Chief of War — Official Teaser | Apple TV+

Apple TV+ has unveiled the official teaser for Chief of War, a historical action series co-created by and starring Jason Momoa. Set in 18th-century Hawaii, the show chronicles the epic story of Ka’iana—a formidable warrior caught in the tides of war, colonization, and rebellion as various island kingdoms clash for control.

The teaser is visually arresting: volcanic landscapes, ancient rituals, and brutal battles captured with sweeping cinematography and intense physicality. Momoa, both behind and in front of the camera, brings a magnetic presence as a man torn between personal loyalty and political destiny.

As drums pound and warriors charge, the clip teases a series steeped in culture and combat. Fans of The Last Kingdomand See will find plenty to admire here, but Chief of War promises a deeper, more grounded exploration of identity, resistance, and ancestral pride.
