In a candid discussion, Jason Momoa and director Brian Andrew Mendoza pull back the curtain on what might come next for Apple TV+’s Chief of War and the second season of On the Roam. The chat highlights the art, the journeys, and the technical curiosity that drive their projects, from historical drama ambitions to maker‑driven documentary storytelling.
Chief of War: a pause, not a verdict
Momoa makes it clear the Apple series isn’t cancelled, but it’s currently paused while everyone weighs the next steps. They launched it as a one‑season arc with the hope of expanding, and there’s definite interest in telling more of that world when the time is right.
On the Roam Season 2: time, craft, and cross‑country encounters
The new season follows Momoa across the U.S., pairing intimate portraits of artists with a spirit of hands‑on experimentation. The Bobby Lees take center stage, Julian Schnabel appears as a creative force, and the show delves into the technical marvels that keep gear and gearheads moving—proving that time itself can become a character in the narrative.
Rather than chasing momentum, Momoa recalls a pace that lets moments breathe. He reflects on the right balance between filming, music, and the unpredictable detours that yield lasting memories and new collaborations with friends and mentors.
The real cost of making art—and why support matters
The conversation turns to the stubborn economics of artistry. Creators sometimes struggle to cover basic needs, a reality the series doesn’t shy away from. The message is a reminder that audiences can and should back makers—through purchases, experiences, and a willingness to invest in the arts.
Innovations on display: green tech and old machinery
Season 2 digs into four distinct green‑tech projects, from revamping vintage bikes with electric hubs to solar sails and solar skins on boats. The docs celebrate ingenuity that honors history while pushing craft forward, illustrating how sustainable tech can coexist with bold storytelling.
Collaborations with companies like Sunreef spotlight solar skin solutions that power vessels while keeping the design intact. The emphasis remains on responsible engineering and the thrill of seeing ambitious ideas take flight.
On the Roam Season 2 premieres May 14 on HBO Max, with new episodes rolling out weekly.
