The first trailer for 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' gives fans a first look at Camp Half-Blood, and Percy Jackson himself.
This year's D23 Expo is in full swing, and Disney and its properties are releasing a slew of news throughout the weekend. Today, fans of Percy Jackson and the Olympians were treated to more news about the new adaptation. While it's still a long way off, Disney has shared the first trailer to tide us over. The trailer doesn't reveal much about the series, but does an excellent job of setting up the tone fans can expect.
Based on the bestselling book series by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians centers on its title character, Percy Jackson. The first book in the series, The Lightning Thief, introduces readers to Percy, a 12-year-old boy who mostly lives a normal life. Until his teacher turns into a monster trying to kill him. When his mom finds out, she finally tells him the truth: Percy is a demigod. So, she sends Percy to Camp Half-Blood where he can be around other kids like him.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY The new Percy Jackson series has been a hotly anticipated endeavor since Riordan first made the announcement back in 2020. At that point, the show had yet to receive the go ahead, but nevertheless, longtime fans of Riordan's book series waited eagerly for news. Disney officially sent the green light at the beginning of this year, making what almost seemed like a dream a reality.
The show adaptation also joins what seems to be a new trend of "childhood books receiving better adaptations," including the most recently announced and also highly anticipated Eragon series in the works with Disney+. Similarly, Spiderwick Chronicles is getting a revamp as a series, also from Disney+.
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.
