The streamer and 20th Television are developing a series based on Riordan’s Kane Chronicles book trilogy. Riordan and Angela Robinson ( True Blood, D.E.B.S. ) are teaming to adapt the books.
Should it go to series, Kane Chronicles - about a brother and sister who are descended from Egyptian pharaohs and who use magic - would join Percy Jackson and the Olympians , also based on books by Riordan, on Disney+.
