Don’t know if it was mentioned, but the Percy Jackson series got the green light.

I really thought that this had been green lit about a year ago before hearing that last week. That'll probably be their first really big show based on a non-Star Wars or Marvel project.

Can’t wait. Loved the books, but the movies were so bad.

In the works but not officially fully green lit until recently.

Great choice. He was a revelation in The Adam Project.

Thought they had been saying this was a 2024 show so it feels a little early, but i'll take it as long as the quality is there! I certainly hope the quality is here. This isn't like a lot of the Star Wars or MCU shows where there isn't enough juice there to justify it being a show over a movie (which most MCU shows at the very least feel like they should be). Percy Jackson to me will greatly benefit from being a series I think as, much like a video game adaptation, you can't properly retell a book in a 2 hour movie without leaving a lot out (although the Harry Potter films did a great job).

Two-episode premiere on December 20th (multi-episode premiere's on D+ are starting to become much more common it seems or even binge dropping).

I liked what I saw. God willing they don't blow this or take so long between seasons that the kids get too old.

I started reading the follow up series. I hope they adapt that at some point. Probably will recast though because I assume all of these books will take Harry Potter long.

Sooo... this show may or may not be good, but I think Disney+ may have their most successful show or movie release of the year right here. And with a release date of December 20th for it's first few episodes, that means everyone this show will just be there waiting for people on Christmas morning when many people get gifted D+ subscriptions and will get. a lot of extra exposure on top of what it's already seeing because of that.

It also goes to prove the point that a strong trailer is really important.

Percy Jackson debuts on the 20th. The reviews are currently VERY high with the series at 96% on RT.

I would love for Disney to make Percy Jackson a five season show on their streaming service to rectify the mistakes of the movies.

5 years later, and I've finally gotten my wish. Looks like I'll be eating good this Christmas!

I can't wait for the HP movies to be far enough in the rearview mirror so I can finally get my 8 episodes per book Harry Potter series.

Give the Lightning Thief musical a chance too. It’s a fun adaptation.
