You can now watch the trailer for Jason Momoa's new series for Apple TV+ that seems to be made for him

Apple TV+ has released the first trailer for its upcoming series The Great Warrior, which will premiere on August 1, 2025, with the first two episodes out of a total of nine. This ambitious production, based on true events, follows the story of the warrior Ka’iana, played, unsurprisingly, by Jason Momoa, and his struggle to unify the islands and tribes of Hawaii against Western colonization in the late 18th century.

Subscribed to historical series

The great warrior is distinguished by his approach from an indigenous perspective, an aspect that has been emphasized by co-creators Momoa and Thomas Pa’a Sibbett, along with showrunner Doug Jung. In an effort to honor Polynesian culture, the series features a predominantly Polynesian cast, including well-known actors such as Luciane Buchanan and Temuera Morrison, among others. This decision not only enriches the narrative but also provides a more authentic representation of the story being told.

Jason Momoa, known for his role in Game of Thrones, has stated that this project is very personal to him, which adds an additional level of involvement and dedication to the production. In his second collaboration with Apple TV+, following the post-apocalyptic drama See, Momoa seems determined to make a significant impact in the realm of historical series.

With the arrival of the trailer, expectations have grown around this series that promises to take viewers on a journey through a tumultuous time in Hawaii’s history, highlighting the resilience and determination of its indigenous peoples. As the premiere date approaches, many are eager to see how this epic narrative and its complex characters will unfold.
