The new show will tell the story of what happens when their father unleashes the god of chaos and vanishes; the estranged Kane siblings must master their inherited Egyptian magic, forge unlikely alliances, and rescue their father before warring gods can wreak havoc on our modern world.
Rick Riordan will once again be returning to create the show, along with Angela Robinson, who has previously worked on “How to Get Away with Murder”. They will both be executive producers, along with Rebecca Riordan, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Jeremy Bell for The Gotham Group.

Following the news going public about the new show, Rick Riordan took to social media to provide an update on the show and set expectations for fans of the book series:
Moderating expectations for those, like me, who aren’t fluent in TV-industry-speak and get easily confused! “In development” / “in the works” does NOT mean we have a series order or a green light. It means Disney paid to have some sample scripts written. That happened over the course of the last year. Now the upper-level executives are considering them and deciding whether or not to green-light the project. From what I have seen, the industry pays untold millions of dollars each year to develop potential projects like this, most of which never see the light of day. Only a tiny fraction of projects “in development” are ever green-lit and filmed. So this isn’t a sure thing by any means, but Angela is amazing! And no, this has no bearing one way or another on the future of Percy Jackson TV on Disney+. I suspect that will all come down to viewer numbers for season three, out in November.
Roger’s Take: Rick has always been very upfront with his fans during the creation of the “Percy Jackson” series, especially since many of those fans are children and can get a little carried away with expectations because they don’t understand what’s happening in the industry. So this update continues that trend of just letting fans know that this new series isn’t necessarily happening and might be a while away.
What do you think of the idea of “The Kane Chronicles” series on Disney+? Let me know on social media!
