Featuring the likes of Lance Reddick and Lin Manuel-Miranda, a star-studded cast makes up the Greek pantheon
A decade since the last Percy Jackson theatrical release, our favorite demi-god is set to return, this time on the much-awaited Disney+ Original series, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.”
With seven books but only two films to show for it, fans of the highly-regarded novel series were left wanting for more. The upcoming reboot is set to deliver where the original films faltered—showcasing a much-more fleshed out narrative that takes advantage of, and hopefully utilizes all of the original material created by Rick Riordan.
And while we’ve met our trio, comprising of Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), Annabeth Chase (Leah Jeffries), and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri)—we’re definitely going to miss Logan Lerman and Alexandra Daddario—the series also features a promising cast to fill out the roster of the all-powerful Greek Gods.
From images shared by Disney, here’s a first look at the Gods in “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.”
The highly-awaited series’ synopsis reads:
“Based on Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series by award-winning author Rick Riordan, ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ is a Disney+ Original series that tells the fantastical story of a 12-year-old modern demigod, Percy Jackson, who’s just coming to terms with his newfound divine powers when the sky god Zeus accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt. With help from his friends Grover and Annabeth, Percy must embark on an adventure of a lifetime to find it and restore order to Olympus.”
“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” streams on Disney+ on December 20, 2023
