Fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson novels received another promising update from the character’s creator, as he shared some news about his latest meeting with Disney execs about his potential Percy Jackson and The Olympians series to be shown on Disney+.
The author apparently met up with execs from Disney Entertainment, Disney TV, 20th Century Studios and Disney+ to discuss getting the ball rolling on the reboot of the Percy Jackson series, following two so-so movie adaptations of his young adult novels.
The arrival of a Percy Jackson TV series would be another case of a show coming along to right the wrongs of some poorly received movie adaptations.
The Percy Jackson novels were transferred to the big screen in Percy Jackson and The Lightning Thief back in 2010, and Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters in 2013, but fans were not taken by the movies, nor was Riordan, who took a shot at the films earlier this year.
