A brand-new Percy Jackson and the Olympians photo for Disney Plus‘s highly-anticipated coming-of-age fantasy series has surfaced online, featuring Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri, who are respectively portraying Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. The leading trio looks determined to face the gods’ challenges as fans speculate that the photo might be taken from the show’s Mount Olympus set.
Season 1 is expected to premiere in 2024 with eight episodes. Executive producer Rick Riordan previously confirmed that development on the next installment had already begun. However, due to the writers’ strike, it’s unclear how much of Season 2 has been written.
The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series also stars Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse La Rue, Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan, Virginia Kull as Sally Jackson, Glynn Turman as Chiron, Megan Mullally as Mr. Dodds, Olivea Morton as Nancy Bobofit, and Timm Sharp as Gabe Ugliano. Additional cast includes Jason Mantzoukas as Dionysus, former WWE superstar Adam Copeland as Ares, Jay Duplass as Hades, Lin-Manuel Miranda as Hermes, Timothy Omundson as Hephaestus, Toby Stephens as Poseidon, and the late Lance Reddick as Zeus.
The Percy Jackson and the Olympians Disney Plus series is being directed by James Bobin from a screenplay co-written by Rick Riordan and Jon Steinberg, based on Riordan’s first installment of his hit Camp Half-Blood Chronicles book series. Executive producers are Riordan, Bobin, Steinberg, Dan Shotz, Rebecca Riordan, Bert Salke, Monica Owusu-Breen, Jim Rowe, and Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, and D.J. Goldberg. 20th Television is also producing.
