There are a lot of kids books that have been announced to be getting their own TV shows, but few are as anticipated as Disney's upcoming series. The show was based on Rick Riordan's five-book series that eventually became an entire media franchise called Camp Half-Blood Chronicles. The kids showed up with a preview of the show.
The Half-Blood in the books is the child of a human and Greek god. The summer camp where he and other demigods train their powers is shown in the preview. Being the child of a god puts a target on your back. The first season will be the adaptation of The Lightning Thief, a novel that was first released in 2005.
If you haven't read the books, you'll know that the pre- Disney 20th Century Fox tried to adapt the franchise. The two films starring Lerman did well at the box office, but Fox never did a third one. The films were to everyone's benefit. Disney announced their plans to do a TV show after they acquired Fox. Riordan is heavily involved with the show.
The show features Scobell, Jeffries, and Simhadri as well as other cast members. The show has a tentative release date since it only recently began filming.
