HBO Max, WarnerMedia's upcoming streaming service, has green lit the series adaptation of Madeline Miller's Greek mythology book "Circe".
The show has received a straight-to-series order from HBO Max with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver attached as writers, reported Deadline.
Described as "a modern take on the world of Greek mythology", the show will be told from the "powerful feminist perspective of the goddess Circe, who transforms from an awkward nymph to a formidable witch, able to challenge gods, titans and monsters alike".
Jaffa and Silver, whose writing credits includes the "Planet of the Apes" series, "Jurassic World" and Disney's upcoming live-action film "Mulan", will also executive produce the show.
Chernin Entertainment producing in partnership with Endeavor Content.
"'Circe' tells an epic story of love, loss, tragedy and immortal conflict, all through the eyes of a fierce female lens," said Sarah Aubrey, head of original content for HBO Max.
"I've been a longtime fan of Rick and Amanda's work and their ability to simultaneously build epic imaginative worlds while creating emotional dynamic characters. In partnership with Peter Chernin and Jenno Topping, we have the dream team to bring 'Circe' to life," she added.
