A new television adaptation of Homer's Odyssey will begin filming across Greece and Armenia in early 2027. The independent European-American production, titled Odysseus, aims to present a historically grounded retelling of the ancient Greek epic, exploring the political intrigue and human struggles of the Bronze Age world.

The series is produced by Tanweer Productions in Athens, U.S.-based Tectonic, and Armenian-American broadcaster USATV. Armenian-American producer Vaagn Sarkissian serves as an executive producer. Karl Gajdusek, an executive producer on Stranger Things, will serve as showrunner, while acclaimed director Roel Reiné, known for Black Sails and Halo, will direct. The project aims to strip away fantasy elements and focus on the human story at the core of Homer's epic.
