Riordan wrote this sixth book and EP'd the Disney+ series simultaneously.
2023 will go down as the most historic year for the Percy Jackson franchise. This past May, author Rick Riordan released the first spin-off book in the franchise alongside co-author Mark Oshiro in the form of The Sun and the Star. This December, the titular demigod gets a new lease on live-action life with Disney+'s eight-episode Percy Jackson and the Olympians streaming series.
The Chalice of the Gods was officially announced this time last year. Riordan noted in a blog post that the idea for a sixth Percy Jackson book was with the hope of sweetening a deal to bring the stories to Disney+. As it turned out, he didn't need to scribe another novel to get Mickey Mouse's green light.
"They were happy to do it anyway, but once that was up and rolling, those ideas kind of kept churning in my head and the editor was still interested," Riordan continued."Why don't we do this? Why don't I try to write this first one, The Chalice of the Gods, the one that I had sort of initially outlined as kind of a thank you to fans. It would be really an interesting challenge for me to write another Percy Jackson book after all this time.
This re-introduction to Percy, Grover and Annabeth comes just three months before that demigod trio comes to Disney+. As it turns out, Riordan's process of scribing The Chalice of the Gods and executive producing Percy Jackson and the Olympians happened simultaneously.
