On October 23, 2026, xAI released the pilot episode of an AI-generated series based on Homer's Odyssey. The seven-minute and 12-second video was created using the company's Grok Imagine tool and premiered on the X platform.
The project was developed in collaboration with Wonder Studios X and director Dev Walker. By late October 2026, the video had reached millions of views on X, though it faced criticism regarding its all-white cast and the presence of visual artifacts typical of generative AI.
Elon Musk announced his intention to produce a historically accurate adaptation of the epic on July 22, 2026. While the original plan promised a full-length feature film, the current release is a series episode. Musk aims to complete the project before the end of 2026.
The initiative follows Musk's public criticism of Christopher Nolan's film adaptation of The Odyssey, which grossed $1,78 billion. Musk previously questioned the historical accuracy of Nolan's casting choices, which involved thousands of people across six countries.
