The good news was revealed by author Rick Riordan himself on his social media. He posted, "Hey Percy Jackson fans, for the past decade, you've worked hard to champion a faithful on-screen adaptation of Percy Jackson's world. Some of you have even suggested it would be a great series for Disney+. We couldn't agree more!" He added that even though he and his wife Becky can't say more at this stage, they are 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".
