Percy Jackson Disney+ Show Filming Begins June 2022
Disney+'s TV adaptation of the young adult fantasy series Percy Jackson and the Olympians will begin filming on June 1, original author Rick Riordan has confirmed. The best-selling series follows the adventures of the aforementioned Percy Jackson, a teenager who discovers that he is the son of the ancient Greek God Poseidon, as he embarks on a mission to prevent the mythical Titans from wreaking havoc across 21st Century Earth. While the novels have proved to be immensely popular, becoming one of the most successful book series of all time, the two film adaptations of the titular demigod's quest failed to enjoy the same level of critical acclaim, with even Riordan publicly criticising the writing on the two movies.
