With the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series premiere just a couple weeks away, Disney has released a new poster which shows off the lead trio of Percy, Leah and Grover alongside some of the ancient beasts of mythology. Check it out here…
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based off the best-selling YA series by Rick Riordan, who is executive producing the series. Riordan pitched the series to Disney and Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz are serving as showrunners. Riordan and Steinberg wrote the series pilot with James Bobin (Dora and the Lost City of Gold) directing the first episode. Other directors for the season include Anders Engström (See) and Jet Wilkinson (The Old Man).
Percy Jackson & The Olympians tells the fantastical story of a 12-year-old modern demigod, Percy Jackson, who’s just coming to terms with his newfound supernatural powers when the sky god Zeus accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt. Now Percy must trek across America to find it and restore order to Olympus.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians stars Walker Scobell as the titular character, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood, and features notable guest stars such as Lin-Manuel Miranda as Hermes, Megan Mullally as Mrs. Dodds, Toby Stephens as Poseidon, Virginia Kull as Sally Jackson, Jason Mantzoukas as Dionysus, Jay Duplass as Hades, Glynn Turman as Chiron, and the late Lance Reddick as Zeus.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians will debut with a two-episode premiere on Wednesday, December 20th, 2023 on Disney+, followed by new episodes weekly.
