The books about the adventures of Percy Jackson are a worldwide success. They even spawned two films. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, from 2010and Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters (2013). The first is very good, the second not so much. The two, starring Logan Lerman and Alexandra Daddario, are on Disney Plus. But many fans of the books didn’t like the adaptations, and a third movie was never made. But now the stories will become a Disney Plus series. And the idea is to be very faithful to the books. So much so that they hired someone closer in age to the original to be Percy. It’s Walker Scobell, who did very well in Project Adam, from Netflix. And is currently filming Secret Headquartersan adventure with Owen Wilson.
The series based on the books by Rick Riordan had already been approved in January. It will tell the story of a 12-year-old modern demigod – Percy Jackson. He’s just starting to understand his super powers when the bomb hits. The god Zeus accuses him of stealing his master thunderbolt. That’s when Percy will have to run the country after it, and return it to Olympus.
Percy is described as a smart, compassionate boy with a keen sense of humor. well, sort of like Adam from the Netflix movie, right? Haha. He always sees himself as an outsider, especially because of his attention deficit disorder and dyslexia. He is impulsive, and gets very angry when he finds himself the victim of injustice. But really, he just wants to fit in. Filming the series – Percy Jackson and the Olympians – are expected to start in the middle of the year, and the launch will be in 2023.
