MANILA, Philippines – Demigods, our favorite trio is coming back! Author Rick Riordan announced on October, Wednesday 19, that the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series is getting its sixth installment!
Titled Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods, the new book will follow the original crew – Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, and Grover Underwood – in a “brand-new adventure.”
“Not a reboot. Not a reimagining. A full-blown, canonical, stand-alone sequel starring the original trio from The Lightning Thief,” the announcement from the Read Riordan website said.
The Percy Jackson & the Olympians series revolves around young Percy Jackson, the half-human, half-god son of Poseidon who is first sent to Camp Half-Blood. Together with Annabeth and Grover, they embark on adventures involving the gods of Mount Olympus and other fantastical foes.
The fantasy novel series had five books published between 2005 and 2009. And while the three characters have appeared in Riordan’s other installments, the author said that fans have long requested a Percy Jackson 6 that centers on the trio.
“This is meant to be a story about the original trio, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover, so most of the story revolves around them. You may hear little hints about what is going on with other characters in Percy’s universe, but for the most part, it’s just the [original] crew,” Riordan said in his website.
According to its official synopsis, The Chalice of the Gods will see Percy on a quest to retrieve Ganymede’s lost goblet in exchange for a letter of recommendation from Mount Olympus for his college application to New Rome University.
Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Chalice of the Gods will go on sale starting September 26, 2023.
The announcement of The Chalice of the Gods comes a few months after Disney+ began production for the series adaptation of The Lightning Thief. Walker Scobell will star as Percy Jackson, with Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri as Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, respectively.
Virginia Kull, Jason Mantzoukas, Megan Mullally, Glynn Turman, and Timm Sharp are also part of the cast. A release date for the series has yet to be announced.– Rappler.com
