Greek mythology is popular in Hollywood at present, and so are legal dramas.
Bluewater Productions' cornerstone title 10th Muse handily combines both genres and, recognising its potential, Vanquish Motion Pictures has snapped up the rights to adapt it into a TV show.
The comic book, which has been running since 2001, centres on a young law intern imbued with the essence of the Greek goddess of justice.
Vmp head Jay Douglas, who will executive-produce the series with partner Nav Gupta, Marc Manus and Bluewater's Darren Davis, said: "We're going to sink our teeth into Darren's treasure chest of storylines and spin them into a show that kicks ass with all the mystery and action the fans would expect."
"I'm really excited to dive into this world that Davis has created. The characters and Emma's central dilemma are rich and interesting - I think they'll prove a fantastic engine for a long-running series.
