Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based on the novel series of the same name written by North American author Rick Riordan. The story was first adapted in 2010 and had a 2013 sequel. The movie, starring Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson, was heavily criticized by fans who have been claiming a better adaptation ever since.

Disney+ announced the TV series, featuring an age-appropriate cast. Walker Scobell, known for The Adam Project, is playing the title character. Leah Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri are playing Percy’s companions, Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood.

The first footage of the show was revealed during the D23 Expo, celebrated in September 2022.

Percy is forced to run away to Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp where other children of gods reunite. At Camp Half-Blood, Percy meets Annabeth and discovers that his school friend, Grover, is a satyr.
