The Night Agent's Luciane Buchanan Is Set To Star In Apple TV+'s Chief Of War - What The Show Is About

Why Chief Of War Is So Exciting

Now that The Night Agent season 2 has been released, Buchanan's next big TV series is Chief of War. This Apple TV+ series is a historical action show which stars Momoa as Kaʻiana, a Native Hawaiian warrior and noble who returns to his home to fight in a war between the four Hawaiian kingdoms. However, he eventually rebels, leading to the unification of Hawaii at the turn of the 18th century. Buchanan plays Kaʻahumanu, the queen consort of Hawaii who holds incredible power over her husband, the king, Kamehameha I.

With its intense backdrop of battle and focus on Hawaiian history, Chief of War could become a new favorite on streaming.

Chief of War looks like it will be a particularly exciting release. The show centers on a piece of Hawaiian history that many audiences may know nothing about, which means it will inevitably feel fresh and exciting. Furthermore, the series seems to have some parallels to Shogun, due to its time period and focus on war. Perhaps, Chief of War will follow in its footsteps and be another historical drama that finds success among critics and viewers. With its intense backdrop of battle and focus on Hawaiian history, Chief of War could become a new favorite on streaming.

Chief Of War Will Be Very Different From The Night Agent (But That's Okay)

What Chief Of War Means For Buchanan

Of course, Buchanan may star in both The Night Agent and Chief of War, but the shows are undeniably different. The Night Agent is set in the present day and is concerned with political corruption and international crime. Meanwhile, Chief of War takes place in a completely different time and place, and has a bigger focus on war. Because of this, there is no guarantee that fans of The Night Agent will be fans of Chief of War. However, this shouldn't be a deterrent. If anything, Chief of War will allow Buchanan to show a totally different side of herself.

In some ways, Chief of War could be the most exciting project of Buchanan's career thus far. The Night Agent has certainly brought the actress incredible success, but Chief of War has shown its potential for greatness long before its release. With incredible stars in the cast and crew, and a compelling premise, the series has the chance to become a huge hit, and Buchanan is right in the middle of it all. Hopefully, once the series receives a release date, it will pick up more much-deserved hype before its premiere.

Aside from Buchanan and Momoa, Chief of War boasts some other exciting names. For example, New Zealand actors Temuera Morrison and Cliff Curtis will both appear in the series. Furthermore, Chief of War is being produced by big names such as Francis Lawrence (of The Hunger Games fame), Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Doug Jung. Notably, Momoa is not only the lead actor of the series, but is also the co-creator alongside his long-time collaborator, Thomas Pa'a Sibbett.

While Chief of War is definitely an exciting development for Buchanan, it is also an interesting turn in Momoa's career. Momoa is well-known for his roles in franchises like Game of Thrones and Aqua Man, yet the actor has long had producing credits for his projects as well. For the first time ever, Chief of War will see Momoa as a co-creator. Therefore, if the series does well, Momoa will show that he is as talented behind the camera as he is in front of it. Hopefully, Chief of War can reach the same heights as something like The Night Agent.
