From the front page of AnimeSuperhero.com:
"Amazon Prime Video has announced it has greenlit production of its next animated series, Lore Olympus. This time, it’s not based on a Critical Role campaign or a Robert Kirkman comic book. Lore Olympus started as a webcomic — not the first webcomic to get a streaming deal (a Strange Planet adaption came and went) but perhaps the most high-profile one to date. The cartoon for this comic has actually been in the pre-planning stages since 2019.
Created by Rachel Smythe, Lore Olympus is a retelling of the Greek myth The Taking Of Persephone, though it takes great liberties with that storyline. Its main focus is the romance between Persephone and Hades, with the affairs of the other Greek gods happening in the background. I guess Krapopolis now has competition in the animated ancient myth field.
Julia Cooperman, whose credits include AMC and Netflix’s Pantheon, as well as the short-lived live-action shows The Winchesters and Willow, will be the showrunner for Lore Olympus. Cooperman will executive produce the series with Madden and Sydney Bright of Webtoon Productions, Aron Levitz, and Henson and Halle Stanford for The Jim Henson Company (Yup, The Jim Henson Company is involved). JHC’s Delaney Shiokari is the executive in charge of production."
