I couldn’t help but to notice that there has been a lot less discussion on the series compared to the animated Diary of a Wimpy Kid film for Disney+, which I find somewhat odd because there is actually a lot to discuss. It’s not the only thing Lincoln Peirce has been working on either, with the third and final Max and the Midknights book, The Tower of Time, having been released in March, along with the announcement of a Max and the Midknights television series.
