Percy Jackson And The Olympians Trailer Teases A Darker Take Than Previous Films

At D23, Disney+ has given us our first look at the upcoming Percy Jackson And The Olympians series. The teaser features narration from Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) himself, as we get our first looks at Camp Half-Blood and more.

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.

There is currently no release date for the Percy Jackson And The Olympians but it is slated to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar.
