Percy Jackson is one of the most successful fantasy book series in the world. The associated works have been sold more than 180 million times. In the past there were also two feature films that wanted to bring the story to the big screen. However, it didn’t work that well. On the imdb rating platform, both parts were able to clear less than 6 out of 10 possible stars.
Now Disney dares a new attempt – in the form of a series. “Percy Jackson – The Series” (in English Percy Jackson and the Olymps) is said to have learned from the mistakes of the films and this time is more based on the book templates. To ensure that, the author Rick Riordan is heavily involved in the production.
