Some things take more than one venture to get right.
Riordan announced Thursday that the Percy Jackson books will soon be turned into a live-action TV series for Disney+.
“Some of you have even suggested it would be a good series for Disney+.

We couldn’t agree more!”
Rest assured that Becky & I will be involved in person at every step of the show.
Buckle up, demigods.
It’s going to be a fantastic, exciting ride!"
The Percy Jackson movies starredLogan Lermanin the lead role, withAlexandra Daddarioas Annabeth and Brandon T. Jackson as Grover.
Shortly after the Disney+ news was announced, Logan tweeted, “Excited to see this!
Hope it gets the adaptation the books deserve.”
Last year, Percy also made his debut on the Broadway stage in aLightning Thiefmusical.
That raises the question of whether any of those songs might show up in the series.
In Riordan’s words, there’s much more to come.
