Overview
- Disney+ is developing a live-action series adaptation of Rick Riordan’s The Kane Chronicles, a report first published Thursday that names Riordan and Angela Robinson as creators and executive producers.
- 20th Television will produce the project with executive producers Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Angela Robinson and Gotham Group partners Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Jeremy Bell.
- The show will adapt Riordan’s Egyptian-mythology trilogy about siblings Carter and Sadie Kane who confront ancient gods and learn inherited magic while trying to save their father.
- The property returned to Riordan after a stalled Netflix film effort whose option lapsed in 2024, and Disney+'s decision follows the strong performance of its Percy Jackson TV series, which begins Season 3 on November 20, 2026.
- The project is in early development with no casting, episode order, production schedule or premiere date announced; one outlet reports Robinson may direct the pilot but that detail remains unconfirmed.
