Some of you have even suggested it would be a great series for Disney+. We couldn\u2019t agree more! We can\u2019t say much more at this stage but we are very excited about the idea of a live-action series of the highest quality, following the storyline of the original <em>Percy Jackson<\/em> five-book series, starting with <em>The Lightning Thief<\/em> in season one. Rest assured that Becky and I will be involved in person in every aspect of the show. There will be much more news in the future, but for now, we have a lot of work to do! Buckle up, demigods.
