ITVITV plans to adapt “Beowulf” into a 13-part series. According to The Guardian, the producers plan to “use locations in County Durham and Northumbria to represent the poem’s Scandinavian setting, and will deliver ‘epic fights, thrilling chases, raids, celebrations and battles,’ following the eponymous hero’s battles with a monster and a dragon.”

In the past, this Old English epic poem has inspired a variety of different projects including movies, TV programs, graphic novels, board games, songs, operas, and theater shows. Follow this link to download a free digital copy of this
