Chief of War is a new historical epic from Jason Momoa with 93% on Rotten Tomatoes – but does it live up to its potential status as the best Apple TV+ show of 2025?

The Apple TV+ new historical epic Chief of War is proving to be a smash hit: critics are praising the show as audiences race to binge the opening episodes.

And while it may have been a risky move for Apple to drop Chief of War alongside its big-budget Issac Asimov adaptation, the gamble has paid off, with the Jason Momoa-led series shooting straight to the top of the Apple TV+ charts.
