Grok Imagine's account on X posted the first episode of an AI-made series based on Homer's Odyssey on Friday 23 October. It runs a little over seven minutes in 4K and was made with Wonder Studios and AI director Dev Walker. Elon Musk quote-posted it the same night, and the studio shared it too.
“Homer didn’t have Grok… we do.”

Titled The Fall of Troy and narrated by Mel Gibson, the episode covers the Trojan Horse trick, the city's destruction and Odysseus and the Greek kings readying their ships for home. Grok Imagine asked viewers whether they wanted a full breakdown of how it was made. Nothing was said about how many episodes will follow or when.

Reaction on X was mixed. Some viewers called it technically impressive, while others criticised the pacing, mismatched voices and flat faces, and said it felt like clips stitched together. Director Scott Derrickson mocked Musk's earlier plan and dismissed his views on art. Musk has also attacked Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, a big-budget 2026 release that did well at the box office, over its casting.
The episode follows a July promise from Musk that Grok Imagine would produce a full-length, historically accurate Odyssey film before the end of 2026. Variety notes the release came with no new statement on that deadline.
