Based on true events, Jason Momoa and Thomas Paʻa Sibbett's 18th century war epic chronicles the unification and colonization of Hawai'i.

Co-creator Jason Momoa stars as the late 18th century warrior Ka'iana in a story set at the intersection of the Hawaiian island kingdoms and the arrival of European colonists.

Game of Thrones, Conan the Barbarian, and his outings as DC superhero Aquaman proved that Jason Momoa is an intensely intimidating presence. Yet his dynamic comedic work in A Minecraft Movie also underlined that he’s capable of playing more than just menacing brutes—which makes his turn in Apple TV+’s historical drama Chief of War so underwhelming.
