Disney+ is doubling down on the mythological worlds of Rick Riordan.
The streamer and 20th Television are developing a series based on Riordan’s Kane Chronicles book trilogy. Riordan and Angela Robinson (True Blood, D.E.B.S.) are teaming to adapt the books.
Should it go to series, Kane Chronicles — about a brother and sister who are descended from Egyptian pharaohs and who use magic — would join Percy Jackson and the Olympians, also based on books by Riordan, on Disney+. Percy Jackson’s third season is set to premiere in November.
Disney+ is the second streamer to take a run at The Kane Chronicles. In 2020, Riordan announced that Netflix was developing feature films based on the three books. The project languished in development for several years, however, and was ultimately scrapped in 2024.
