This failed YA franchise deserves another chance.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Once Disney's Percy Jackson and the Olympians releases, there's already a prime option for the next YA TV adaptation. Hype is building for the upcoming Percy Jackson and The Olympians series, which is based on the eponymous novels by Rick Riordan. In this action-adventure series, a young teen named Percy Jackson learns he's the demigod son of Poseidon who must harness his powers at Camp Half-Blood.
Divergent Deserves An Adaptation With A Proper Ending Though the Divergent series started out strong, it saw a downturn after Insurgent featured some major differences from the book. The changes were unwelcome by fans of the source material, and things only got worse from there. The producers decided to split Allegiant into two movies.
None of the actors seemed interested in this option, with Theo James, Shailene Woodley, and Miles Teller saying they wouldn't participate in the final film if this change took place. As such, the movies simply stopped after the first Allegiant. The movie series never concluded, leaving many questions unanswered. While the Allegiant book answered the biggest questions, viewers never got a proper conclusion on-screen.
If Disney's Percy Jackson and the Olympians goes as well as expected, it could trigger a whole new wave of YA adaptations for the big screen and small screen. While YA novels get a bad reputation, the Percy Jackson TV series could prove to broadcast networks and streaming sites that audiences will show up for young adult content. The success of this show could really drive the point home that YA adaptations have efficacy as an investment.
