Netflix Scraps ‘The Kane Chronicles’ Films From ‘Percy Jackson’ Creator Rick Riordan
Netflix is no longer adapting Rick Riordan's 'Kane Chronicles' book series into feature films.
The first film, based on 2010’s “The Red Pyramid,” was written by “Star Trek: Prodigy” writer Diandra Pendleton-Thompson, according to a 2022 blog post where Riordan wrote that he was expecting a new script draft soon. “The Red Pyramid,” along with “The Throne of Fire” (2011) and “The Serpent’s Shadow” (2012), followed Carter and Sadie Kane, the teen descendants of Egyptian pharaohs Narmer and Ramses the Great. The news comes amid a rise in appetite for screen adaptations of Riordan’s work: Disney+ concluded the first season of its “Percy Jackson” TV series on Jan. 30, which Disney CEO Bob Iger touted as a success on the company’s latest quarterly earnings call.
