Disney+ Percy Jackson series recently released its trailer, and fans are feeling over the moon after hearing the first line from its novel. The series, which was adapted into two movies by 20th Century Fox in 2010 and 2013 respectively, is currently in production.
Percy Jackson & The Olympians follows the life and adventures of Percy, the demigod son of Poseidon, ruler of the sea. He attends Camp Half-Blood, a safe haven for all demigods which also serves as their training ground, along 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 the creative production. Note that the first movies released were not well-received by fans and critics alike, and even Riordan himself was disappointed.
