Rick Riordan, creator of the “Percy Jackson” saga, wants several seasons of the series on Disney +

For many years, the novelist Rick Riordan has collected the mega success of his literary saga that began with the book “Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief”, which will have its adaptation in a Disney + live action series, but according to the author it would be only the first of several to be able to tell the whole story correctly.

This isn’t the first time the “Percy Jackson” story has hit the screen, since in 2010, FOX presented two films, inspired by the first two books in the Rick Riordan sagawhich ended up failing at the box office and now Disney + plans to fix the film’s mistakes in an 8-part series.

“Hopefully it’s a season for each book, giving us time to do the whole story justice, unlike a movie where you have to make cuts.”Said Rick Riordan, the creator of Percy Jackson, in D23 Expo 2022where he had the opportunity to present some of the behind-the-scenes work from the first season of the series.

With this statement it is more than clear that Rick Riordan, like the fans, sees a promising future for the new Disney + seriesthat although she doesn’t even have a confirmed release date and has just arrived in the middle of her recordings for the first season, the author of the books hopes that the house of the mouse confirms the adaptation of the rest of books on the son of Poseidon.

It is important to note that Rick Riordan has written several books set in the world of demigods, but those narrated by Percy Jacksonthere are only 5, hence the first of these stories it could last about 5 seasons in the Disney + catalog, however, there is enough potential to do more.
