Disney’s 20th Television was behind the two movies, and it will also produce the new series.won’t be reprising his role seeing as Percy is supposed to be a teenager or preteen, but that's not stopping fans from. Familiar faces, however, will be involved in the project. Riordan himself will be heavily involved in the series. The author will serve as executive producer and even write the pilot alongside Jon Steinberg.

Which is great news, since Riordan has been an outspoken critic of the movie adaptations, which also weren't entirely beloved by many fans who anticipated something more faithful to the books. As Riordan foreshadowed , “To me, it's my life's work going through a meat grinder when I pleaded with them not to do it. So yeah. But it's fine. All fine. We're gonna fix it soon.”“With Rick Riordan, Jon Steinberg, and Dan Shotz leading our creative team, we’re deep into creating a compelling TV series worthy of the heroic mythological characters that millions of Percy Jackson readers know are well-worth caring about,” said Disney Branded TV president Ayo Davis.

“This will be an adaptation for the ages, with all the excitement, action and mythology fans of the books expect and love,” said 20th TV president Karey Burke. No casting has yet been announced and the series does not have a tentative premiere date either, but Disney+ definitely has our attention.
