A Percy Jackson Series On Disney Plus Has Been Announced

It’s been revealed by Disney that they are working on a Percy Jackson series which will be coming to Disney Plus at it will adapt all of the books.

The Percy Jackson books were hugely popular, but the movie series never really took off.

Two movies were made: Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief which came out in 2010 and it was then followed up by Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters in 2013.

The movies were made by 20th Century Fox.

The rights then went over to Disney when they purchased the movie studio.

We’ve been wondering ever since then what they were going to do with the property moving forward.

Many people thought they might try to make another movie, however it turns out that they’re actually going to make a series.

This was revealed by the book’s author, Rick Riordian and his wife, Becky Riordan via Twitter.
