Greek mythology is coming to HBO Max.

WarnerMedia's forthcoming streaming service has given an eight-episode, straight-to-series order to "Circe," a modern take on the world of Greek mythology based on Madeline Miller's bestseller.

The project comes from writers Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver ("Planet of the Apes," "Jurassic World"), who will executive produce.

"Circe" is told from the powerful feminist perspective of the titular goddess, who transforms from an awkward nymph to a formidable witch, able to challenge gods, titans and monsters alike.

“'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 originals at HBO Max.

The show joins several other scripted originals in the works, including a reboot of "Gossip Girl," the Nicole Kidman-produced drama "Crime Farm," a female-focused "Dune" series, and an animated "Gremlins" prequel.
