Chief of War’ brings an epic story to the screen, centering around the pre-colonial history of the Hawai’i Islands in the late 18th century. The Apple TV+ show follows the narrative of Ka’iana, a Maui war chief who is pulled out of his peaceful life with his family to fight for King Kahekili.

"Chief of War" throws viewers right into the deep end -- literally. In its opening moments, the Apple TV+ series follows its eponymous warrior as he and his small, familial tribe of outcasts hunt for sharks.

Before the Hawaiian islands were unified under one kingdom in 1850, they were warring factions also fending off white invaders.
