Disney+ Percy Jackson The series recently released its trailer and fans are thrilled after hearing the first line of its novel. The series, which was adapted into two films by 20th Century Fox in 2010 and 2013 respectively, is currently in production.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians follows the life and adventures of Percy, the demigod son of Poseidon, ruler of the sea. He frequents Camp Half-Blood, a refuge for all demigods that doubles as a training ground, with his friends Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood.
In 2020, Rick Riordan announced that there would be a reboot of the series, and this time he will be involved in creative production. Note that the first films released were not well received by fans and critics, and even Riordan himself was disappointed.
