The exciting moment has arrived! The world of Percy Jackson is getting bigger. They’re working on a new TV show based on Percy Jackson’s adventures called “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”. The author, Rick Riordan, is leading the way in making this happen.
Before, they made two movies from the books: “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief” and “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters”. But lots of people, including Rick himself, didn’t really like how the stories were shown in those movies.
Since then, fans of the stories have been asking for a better adaptation of the books. And now, it looks like their wish is finally coming true!
