A fantasy adventure series adapted from Riordan’s book franchise, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is an American production developed by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg for the streaming platform Disney+. The show features Walker Scobell as the main character, with Leah Sava Jeffries portraying Annabeth Chase and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood.
Work on the project started in May 2020 after Riordan pitched the concept to Disney Branded Television. Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz were named showrunners in July 2021, while James Bobin directed the inaugural episode in October. Scobell was cast as the lead in January 2022, followed by Jeffries and Simhadri joining the cast in May. Principal photography occurs in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The initial season, adapting The Lightning Thief, aired from December 19, 2023 to January 30, 2024. Season two, based on The Sea of Monsters, aired from December 10, 2025 to January 21, 2026, with Hulu also releasing episodes. Ahead of the second season’s debut in March 2025, the series was ordered for a third season that will cover The Titan's Curse. That season is expected to launch on November 20, 2026.
Critics have responded favorably, appreciating the show’s worldbuilding, fidelity to the original works, and acting—especially from the core cast and Charlie Bushnell. It has earned several honors, including eight of sixteen Children's and Family Emmy Awards it was nominated for, as well as awards for Outstanding Young Teen Series, writing, and directing.
