Disney+ has announced that the Percy Jackson And The Olympians series will premiere on 20 December 2023 with its first two episodes.

Based on the bestselling book series by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson And The Olympians follows Percy Jackson who is a demi-god. It’s basically a young adult series but with elements of Greek gods and other pantheons.

Riordan originally announced the Disney+ series back in 2020. There were already feature film adaptations of the books, 2010’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief and 2013’s Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, both of which starred Logan Lerman in the leading role.

Percy Jackson And The Olympians also stars Leah Sava Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri as the core trio of Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. Additional cast includes Megan Mullally, Jason Mantzoukas, Virginia Kull, Glynn Turman, Tim Sharp, Dior Goodjohn, Olivea Morton, and Charlie Bushnell. Riordan and Jon Steinberg co-write the pilot directed by James Bobin. Executive producers are Steinberg, Bobin, Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Dan Shotz, Bert Salke, Monica Owusu-Breen, Jim Rowe, Anders Engström, Jet Wilkinson, Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, and D.J. Goldberg.

The synopsis reads:

Percy Jackson & The Olympians tells the fantastical story of a 12-year-old modern demigod, Percy Jackson, who’s just coming to terms with his newfound supernatural powers when the sky god Zeus accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt. Now Percy must trek across America to find it and restore order to Olympus.
