The best part — Rick Riordan will be heavily involved. He's signed on as an executive producer and will also be cowriting the pilot alongside James Bobin, who has directed films like Dora and the Lost City of Gold and Alice Through the Looking Glass.

The series is a spinoff of the novels and will take us back to a 12-year-old Percy who just recently discovered his powers and is forced to go on a quest to find Zeus's missing master lightning bolt.

As a massive fan of the books, I was a bit disappointed by how the movies turned out (especially because Logan Lerman was a perfect Percy). So I'm super excited to see how they redeem themselves with the series.
