Rick Riordan gives an optimistic update for fans patiently waiting for Netflix’s movie adaptation of The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid.
Despite its slow development, author Rick Riordan gives an optimistic update on Netflix’s movie adaptation of The Kane Chronicles.Following his success with his best-selling Percy Jackson & The Olympians series, Riordan began releasing The Kane Chronicles, a trilogy set in the same universe as Percy Jackson but focused on Egyptian mythology, in 2010. The trilogy – which consists of The Red Pyramid, The Throne of Fire, and The Serpent’s Shadow – follows siblings Carter and Sadie on a magical adventure to prevent the world from plunging into Chaos. In 2020, Riordan announced that Netflix would be adapting The Red Pyramid into a live-action movie.

Since the initial announcement, there haven’t been many updates on The Kane Chronicles movie, as the project is currently still in early development. However, Riordan‘s latest blog post offers an optimistic look at the movie’s progress. The author shared that he is expecting a new draft from scriptwriter Diandra Pendleton-Thompson and hopes it will move the film forward with Netflix. Read Riordan’s full comment below:
This week, we are also expecting the latest draft of the script for The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid from Diandra Pendleton-Thompson, and I can’t wait to read it! She’s done a fantastic job on everything I’ve seen so far, which makes me even more excited to get this project moving forward at Netflix.
So far, all of Riordan’s updates about Netflix’s The Kane Chronicles adaptation have concerned multiple script revisions, but this is the first time the author has named a screenwriter for the project. Perhaps this means Riordan is now more confident that Netflix will move forward with Pendleton-Thompson’s script, and fans can expect even more good news soon, especially considering Pendleton-Thompson’s previous writing experience includes major franchises like Nickelodeon’s Star Trek: Prodigy and Netflix’s smash-hit Stranger Things. If anything, this update assures fans that The Kane Chronicles is still moving forward, albeit slowly.
