Published on May 12, 2026, at 12:42 PM EDT, Jeff Dodge—renowned TV news editor and author—shares his extensive experience interviewing pop culture icons such as Randy Jackson and Heidi Klum. Fun fact: he’s attended every Idol Live! tour.
A fresh literary venture is underway: a new book series set within the Percy Jackson universe will debut before the TV show returns to Disney+. Dodge, known for his fantasy novels, recently announced a collaboration with author Rick Riordan to create a four-part series expanding the mythic world.
The first installment, Camp Half-Blood: The Wild Zone, co-written with Annebelle Oh, launches September 29, 2026. Subsequent books will feature diverse voices, including Kyle Lukoff, Jada Adia, and Pablo Cartaya, each crafting narratives through distinct character perspectives.

Rick Riordan’s latest works explore untold stories within the Percy Jackson realm, focusing on characters like Katie Kim—a Korean-American demigod with secrets tied to Camp Half-Blood’s hidden zones. The series aims to capture authentic voices through collaborations with authors sharing the protagonists’ cultural backgrounds.
Riordan emphasizes equal creative contributions among co-authors, stating, “We split the money equally. Equal billing, equal credit.” This approach ensures diverse storytelling while honoring the source material’s legacy.
While Disney+ holds the TV rights, the author cautions that adaptation isn’t guaranteed. “Many optioned books never become shows,” he notes, reflecting on past cinematic challenges. Meanwhile, his existing Percy Jackson titles remain popular, with the next installment in development post-Camp Half-Blood completion.
For fans eager to revisit the universe, Camp Half-Blood: The Wild Zone arrives September 29, 2026. Additional details about upcoming episodes and merchandise will follow, ensuring continued engagement with this beloved franchise.
