Jason Momoa‘s historical epic series “Chief of War” has set its premiere date at Apple TV+.

The drama series will debut with its first two episodes on Aug. 1, with new episodes dropping weekly thereafter through Sept. 19. Based on true events, the nine-episode series “follows warrior Ka’iana (Momoa) as he tries to unify the islands before Western colonization in the late 18th century,” per the official logline.

Along with Momoa, the cast includes Luciane Buchanan, Temuera Morrison, Te Ao o Hinepehinga, Cliff Curtis, Kaina Makua, Moses Goods, Siua Ikale’o, Brandon Finn, James Udom, Mainei Kinimaka and Te Kohe Tuhaka.

“Chief of War” was originally commissioned at Apple back in 2022. It is the second TV series Momoa has made with the streaming arm of the tech giant, followed by the post-apocalyptic series “See,” which aired for three seasons.
