Rick Riordan broke the news to fans on Twitter, saying that although they couldn’t say much more about it, they were very excited about the idea of a live-action series of the highest quality, following the storyline of the original Percy Jackson five-book series and that he would be involved every step of the way.
News of a streaming series based on the Percy Jackson books was first announced last year, a full decade since The Lightning Thief was adapted for a 2010 film, and seven years since Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters in 2013.
