Disney+ is developing a live-action television series adaptation of Rick Riordan’s “The Kane Chronicles.” Multiple outlets report that the project is in development at the streaming service and would translate the author’s mythological material from his book series to screen.
Angela Robinson is attached as executive producer and writer, working alongside Riordan. Variety and Deadline both describe Robinson as leading the creative development with Riordan, while the Hollywood Reporter adds that they are writing a script for the project.
The reports also note the project’s prior development history. The Hollywood Reporter says it was previously in development at Netflix. Deadline frames Disney’s move as part of an expansion of Riordan’s mythological universe on streaming platforms. Across the sources, details remain limited on whether Disney+ has ordered the series or on casting and production timelines.
