Cartoon/TV ► Percy Jackson TV Series Coming to Disney+

[Luminary]

Rick Riordan, the author of Percy Jackson series, has officially announced that the books are being adapted into a live action series for Disney+ with the first season being based on the Lightning Thief! Unlike the films, both Rick and his wife, Betty, will be directly involved with the production of this series which should result in a more faithful adaption of the source material.

I can't wait to see it~! Haven't seen the movie, heard it stunk (and even saw it stunk from summaries) but I've read the books and love them. At my age lol.

Hope this series rocks as much as the books.

I hope it does well. If Disney plays their cards right, they could have a new cinematic universe on their hands with Riordan’s other series and those from his imprint. I know it would be a long way off, but it would be incredible to see more stories based on non-European mythologies adapted for television or film.

A TV series adaptation is the way to go. More breathing room then being restricted to a 2 hour film.
