Rick Riordan says the project is still in its early developmental stages and that he can’t discuss many details at this time other than the Disney+ series will follow the storyline of the original five-book series, starting with The Lightning Thief in season one. Rick Riordan even reassured his readers stating he would be “involved in-person at every step of the show.”
