When the cast of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” took the stage at Disney’s D23 Expo on September 10, they revealed a few tidbits about the streaming service’s upcoming premiere of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.”
Author Rick Riordan surprised the massive audience by bringing out the young cast of the new series and having them introduce both themselves and their characters.
The audience’s obvious delight was evident. They also released a teaser trailer that gives viewers a sneak peek at Percy and the adventures he is about to embark on. In the trailer, Percy issues a warning to the audience as he makes his way through Camp Half-Blood.

Rick stated: “We’ll probably film all the season one episodes through December or January, or one month per episode (eight episodes total). Post-production will begin in 2023 when the pieces are assembled, edited, and given special effects and sound.
This procedure takes months, and that’s without closed-captioning, subtitling, and dubbing for international viewers. That requires an army.”
Continuing: “Given this, I think early 2024 is most plausible. I’m speculating. The exact release dates are set by the studio and streaming service, and must take into account hundreds of other elements including the Disney+ release timetable, publicity timing, etc.”
Early 2024!
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Plot
The novel Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief was first published in 2005 and introduced us to the world of Greek gods, as well as their children in Camp Half-Blood, one of which is a 12-year-old boy named Percy Jackson, who discovers that he is the son of Poseidon.
For those who aren’t die-hard bookworms, this novel introduced us to the world of Greek gods, as well as their children in Camp Half-Bloo.

As a result of his run-ins with hellhounds, minitours, and other forms of danger, Percy is forced to confront his destinies with the assistance of his dependable friends Annabeth and Grover. The three of them band up to take on the evil titan Kronos in their first adventure together and begin their mission to preserve the world.
The Lightning Thief is the novel that gives us our first look at all of the demi-gods, as well as our first look at Camp Half-Blood, where they all live, and our first look at the three main characters in the series, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover.
We anticipate that, much like the book, the first season of the television series will involve a significant amount of world-building, in addition to exciting action sequences.
If the television adaptation is faithful to the source material, the first several episodes of the series will focus on Percy’s mission to recover Zeus’s master lightning bolt, which has been mysteriously taken and is causing tension among the gods.
We won’t just be visiting Camp Half-blood in the series if this storyline does end up becoming the driving factor of season 1 (as we expect it will be). Instead, we will follow the pre-teen demi-gods as they travel across the United States and even to the underworld on their mission to retrieve Zeus’s property and restore Olympus.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Cast
The new Percy Jackson and the Olympians show on Disney+ set out to cast actors in the same age range as the characters described in the first book, which is approximately 12 years old. This is in contrast to the film adaptation of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and its sequel, both of which were produced by 20th Century Fox.
(Locke Lerman was just 18 years old, Alexandra Daddario was 24 years old, and Brandon T. Jackson was 26 years old when the first movie was released in 2010).

Rick Riordan wrote in a blog post that announced a preliminary casting call in April 2021 that “the goal is to stay true to the original story and have Percy’s character age from 12 to 16 over the course of the TV series, assuming of course that we are lucky enough to make all five seasons.” This was in reference to the television adaptation of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series.
