Overview
- Multiple outlets reported Thursday that Disney+ has begun development on a live-action TV adaptation of Rick Riordan’s The Kane Chronicles with Riordan and Angela Robinson attached as creators and executive producers.
- The series is set up at 20th Television and lists Rebecca Riordan, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, and Jeremy Bell among its executive producers for The Gotham Group.
- The official logline teases Carter and Sadie Kane learning inherited Egyptian magic to rescue their missing father and stop warring gods from wrecking the modern world.
- Rights for the books reverted to Riordan after a Netflix feature-film effort lapsed in 2024, and Disney is reshaping the property for episodic TV rather than a single film.
- The project remains in early development with no casting, production schedule, episode count, or premiere date announced, and it could help Disney+ expand an interconnected Riordan TV universe if it moves forward.
