CALLING ALLLLL DEMIGODS! It’s time to grab your swords and declare your heritage proudly, whether or not your parent has yet chosen to claim you. We’re all celebrating today, because our Percy Jackson adaptation dreams are getting a new life thanks to Disney+!
After years of Percy Jackson fans manifesting this energy, a brand new adaptation is officially coming to our screens. Rick Riordan announced across his social channels that Disney+ has started development on a Percy Jackson series—one that promises to be more faithful than the two films—with plans for each season to tackle each of the first five books.

Though there is no news regarding a timeline yet, Disney+ seems to be on top of the adaptation game; Artemis Fowl‘s film adaptation will have its debut on the platform in June.

From the film’s cast
Some of the previous adaptation’s stars have tweeted their support of the new project, and some fans (we may or may not be included…) are ready to see Logan Lerman return to the world in the role of Poseidon!
Excited to see this! Hope it gets the adaptation the books deserve. Congrats @rickriordan https://t.co/ReE6EjJICV
