Over a decade after the primary try at adapting Rick Riordan’s “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” Disney+ is taking a stab on the extremely common, Greek mythology-infused kids’s sequence.

The primary season of the present adapts “The Lightning Thief,” the primary “Percy Jackson” novel. It follows Percy Jackson, a younger demigod who learns that he is the son of Poseidon, god of the ocean, and is distributed on a quest to retrieve his uncle Zeus’ grasp bolt. On the best way, he is accompanied by Annabeth Chase, a daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood, a satyr. 

Followers first met the brand new Percy Jackson in April 2022, when Riordan introduced on his web site that Walker Scobell had been forged within the function. Quickly after, the casting of Percy’s two finest mates was introduced, with Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth and Aryan Simhadri as Grover. Whereas the present’s official Twitter account announced in February that filming had wrapped, the present does not but have a launch date.

That includes younger actors and trade giants just like the late Lance Reddick and Lin-Manuel Miranda, this is the forged of the upcoming “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” sequence.
