Netflix won’t be moving forward with a feature film adaptation of Rick Riordan’s “Kane Chronicles” book series, TheWrap has learned. The “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” author initially shared the news as part of a fan question on Goodreads.

“Right now, ‘Kane Chronicles’ is in ‘turnaround,’ which means Netflix has decided not to move forward and their option has lapsed after trying for two years to develop a script they liked,” he said. “Now it depends on whether another studio would like to step in, assume the pre-production costs and move forward.”

Riordan initially announced plans for a trilogy of films based on “The Kane Chronicles” in 2020.
