First Look at the Script for Percy Jackson Coming to Disney+

From our friends at chipandco.com

First Look at the Script for Percy Jackson Coming to Disney+. After the launch of Disney+, and the welcome reception for original content on the streaming platform, it didn’t take fans of the Percy Jackson novels to plead their case to Disney about creating a live-action series for the new streaming platform. Well “demigods,” you asked and Disney answered.

Author Rick Riordan has been in talks with Disney since December 2019 and it seems the two have come to an agreement: Disney+ will be the home of a new live-action adaption of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians book series!

Riordan shared the news via Twitter, sharing: “Hey Percy Jackson fans, for the past decade, you’ve worked hard to champion a faithful on-screen adaptation of Percy Jackson’s world,” Riordan wrote in a note to fans on Twitter. “Some of you have even suggested it would be a good series for Disney+. We couldn’t agree more!”

Rick Riordan also shared a first look at the script via Twitter along with the caption, “Hope you guys have a great weekend! I know I will. I have some work to do.”

Rick also shared previously, “We can’t say much more at this stage but we are very excited about the idea of a live-action series of the highest quality, following the storyline of the original Percy Jackson five-book series, starting with The Lightning Thief in season one. Rest assured that Becky & I will be involved in person in every aspect of the show. There will be much more news in the future, but for now we have a lot go work to do! Buckle up, demigods. It’s going to be a fantastic, exciting ride!”

At the time of writing there have been no formal casting decisions and the only names tied to the project are currently Becky and Rick Riordan. It is currently unknown when the series will begin filming or when it will premiere on Disney+, but we are excited none-the-less!

East High, here we come! Our heads are in the game now that we’ve witnessed the new trailer for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, premiering with the launch of Disney+ on November 12. Set at the real-life East High where the original movie was filmed, the 10-episode scripted series is a modern take on the classic film from 15 years ago. If High School Musical was as much of a phenomenon to you as it was to us, you’re going to want to see this:

Will we be diligently following each episode and singing our hearts out? You can bet on it. Cast members Joshua Bassett, Oliva Rodrigo, Matt Cornett, Sofia Wylie, Julia Lester, Larry Saperstein, Dara Reneé, Frankie A. Rodriguez, Kate Reinders, Mark St. Cyr, and showrunner Tim Federle revealed the trailer at the D23 Expo showcase presentation — also inviting 3,600 lucky fans to watch the first episode in the D23 Expo Arena.

The original series follows a group of students as they countdown to opening night of their school’s first-ever production of “High School Musical.” Show-mances blossom, friendships are tested while new ones are made, rivalries flare, songs are sung, and lives are changed forever as these young people discover the transformative power that only high school theater can provide. Take a look at the poster:

The talented up-and-coming cast even showed their Wildcat spirit at D23 Expo with their live performance of “We’re All In This Together,” which will always be a bop. One thing is for sure, these kids will carry on the legacy of High School Musical.

Our dancing shoes are on, and we’re more than ready to step foot into Troy and Gabriella’s alma mater for the start of something new! Disney+ is available for pre-order in the US. Be among the first to have it and start streaming November 12.
