Percy Jackson And The Titan's Curse Movie Novels & Stories

The buzz around a new 'Percy Jackson' adaptation has been impossible to ignore lately! Disney+ is currently working on a live-action series based on Rick Riordan's books, and from what I've gathered, it's shaping up to be way more faithful to the source material than the older films. The author himself is heavily involved, which gives me hope—no more random changes like in the movies. The casting announcements have been spot-on too, especially Walker Scobell as Percy.

I’ve been rereading 'The Lightning Thief' to prep, and it’s wild how much potential this story has for a proper adaptation. The series format means they can explore subplots like Camp Half-Blood’s dynamics or Percy’s sass in more depth. No release date yet, but filming wrapped last year, so my guess is late 2024 or early 2025. Honestly, I’m just thrilled Riordan’s getting a do-over—fingers crossed for a Season 2 announcement soon!

The Percy Jackson movies have always been a bit of a mixed bag for fans of the books. The first two films, 'The Lightning Thief' and 'Sea of Monsters,' didn’t quite capture the magic of Rick Riordan’s series, and that left a lot of us wondering if they’d ever continue the story. But with Disney+ launching the new 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' TV series, it feels like the movies might be a closed chapter. The show’s been getting way more hype, and Riordan’s heavily involved, which makes me think the focus is shifting to the small screen. Still, Hollywood loves revisiting franchises, so I wouldn’t rule out a reboot or even a continuation of the movies someday—just not anytime soon.

That said, the TV series seems to be the real priority now. It’s got a fresh cast, a bigger budget, and a chance to do the books justice in a way the movies never did. If it takes off, I could see Disney sticking with the show for the long haul instead of going back to the film format. But who knows? If the series becomes a massive hit, maybe they’ll consider a theatrical spin-off down the line. For now, though, I’d keep my expectations low for another movie and just enjoy the new show.

The new 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' series on Disney+ has Walker Scobell stepping into the iconic orange Camp Half-Blood shirt, and honestly, he’s a perfect fit. I binged the first few episodes the day they dropped, and Scobell’s portrayal nails Percy’s sarcastic charm and underlying vulnerability. It’s wild how much he embodies the character from Rick Riordan’s books—like when he deadpans his way through monster fights or nervously grips Riptide for the first time. The casting team deserves a laurel wreath for this one.

What’s even cooler is how Scobell’s background aligns with Percy’s vibe. He previously starred in 'The Adam Project,' where he played a younger version of Ryan Reynolds’ character, and that snarky, quick-witted energy totally carries over. Plus, at 14 during filming, he’s closer to Percy’s actual age than Logan Lerman was in the movies, which adds authenticity to those awkward-but-brave tween moments. Riordan himself praised Scobell’s dedication to getting Percy’s ADHD and dyslexia traits right, which matters so much to fans. After years of hoping for a faithful adaptation, seeing Scobell bring book-Percy to life feels like the Oracle’s prophecy finally coming true.
