While the previous “Percy Jackson” adaptation was famously met with derision from the series author Rick Riordan, this time he’s not only excited, but involved in the process himself, as a writer and producer. Riordan and Jon Steinberg will serve as writers of the pilot, and James Bobin (“Dora and the Lost City of Gold”) will direct. The series is set to begin production this summer.
