Shortly before the Pandemic, Madeline Miller announced her Circe book was going to be made into a HBO-Max series. Then of course the world took a big pause and that seems to have been the death knell for the series. Given (HBO-)Max’s tendency to scrap even completed movies, it is perhaps unsurprising. But it is sad. While I love the middle grade and young adult retakes on myth, Miller’s books are adult retellings (and excellent). And given how well HBO handled Game of Thrones, I was excited to see what they did with Circe. And I hold out hope that someone will adapt it someday, even if Max has decided to pass on it.
