Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Thursday that Disney+ is developing a live-action adaptation of Rick Riordan’s Kane Chronicles with Riordan and Angela Robinson attached as creators and executive producers.
- The show is set up at 20th Television and lists Rebecca Riordan and Gotham Group partners Ellen Goldsmith‑Vein and Jeremy Bell as additional executive producers.
- The series will adapt Riordan’s three books about siblings Carter and Sadie Kane who confront ancient Egyptian gods and magic, using a logline that centers on rescuing their missing father after a god of chaos is unleashed.
- The project follows a stalled Netflix feature-film option that lapsed in 2024 and moves the property into episodic TV to allow more room for the books’ extensive worldbuilding.
- At this early stage Disney+ has not announced casting, a pilot or series order, production dates, episode counts, or a premiere window, leaving the timeline and scope of the show unconfirmed.
