Exclusive: Webtoon, the webcomic publisher and app that reaches more than 15 million daily readers, has partnered with The Jim Henson Company to develop Rachel Smythe’s Lore Olympus as an animated series aimed at young adults.
Lore Olympus, a stylized, contemporary, and vamped-up reworking of Greek mythology, is the top title on the Webtoon platform with a weekly release schedule and more than a million hits per episode.
The official synopsis from Webtoon: “Witness what the gods do…after dark. The friendships and the lies, the gossip and the wild parties, and of course, forbidden love. Because it turns out, the gods aren’t so different from us after all, especially when it comes to their problems. Stylish and immersive, this is one of mythology’s greatest stories — The Taking of Persephone — as it’s never been told before.”
The partnership with the Henson Company represents Webtoon’s first adaptation...
