Rick Riordan has teased the release date for Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ upcoming television adaptation. The best-selling book series of the same name, which centres on its titular demigod, Percy, follows his various adventures to stop the mythological Titans from destroying the world in the 21st century. In 2020, Riordan announced that Disney would be producing the new live-action series and that he would be involved in its development. Throughout the lengthy process, he would share production details with fans on his personal website. Since the beginning of filming on the Disney+ series in June, Riordan has lauded and dubbed the early footage of Percy Jackson as “divine”.
Percy Jackson New Adaptation Will Hit Disney Plus In 2024
The Lightning Thief will be covered in Season 1 of the latest adaptation, following 12-year-old Percy as he learns to accept his magical skills and sets out to find Zeus’ master lightning bolt. Walker Scobell will play the lead role of Percy, while Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri star as Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, respectively.
Viewers got the first glimpse of the primary cast of Percy Jackson early in May when Riordan posted a picture of the trio. According to Riordan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians might not be released until the beginning of 2024. It will take several more months to film the remaining episodes of season 1 than he had initially anticipated, he wrote in a new statement on his website.
Many were thrilled by Riordan’s most recent Camp Half-Blood tease as fans await the show’s premiere. Audiences are interested to see how the well-known training facility from his novels – which has a significant part in The Lightning Thief – will be depicted. The addition of the Minotaur to the series, the hire of director James Bobin, and the promise of exciting set designs are additional information provided by the author himself.
With filming still underway, fans may expect more updates from Riordan as the series takes shape. For now, we can look forward to receiving a firm release date and, when the time comes, watching Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+.
