Logan Lerman Weighs In On Disney's New Percy Jackson TV Show
Logan Lerman offers his two cents about Disney's upcoming adaptation of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, having starred as Percy in the 2010 movie. Based on the beloved book series by author Rick Riordan, Lerman was cast as the lead in Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, before returning to reprise the role in 2013's Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters. The films also starred Brandon T. Jackson as Grover Underwood and Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth Chase. Riordan's stories tell of the titular young demigod and his charming adventures, all inspired by Greek mythology.
News of an upcoming reboot delighted audiences, particularly after it was confirmed that Riordan would be heavily involved in the project this time around. Unlike the original adaptation, Percy Jackson and the Olympians will release as a TV series on Disney+, fronted by The Adam Project star Walker Scobell. Leah Sava Jeffries will play Annabeth, while Aryan Simhadri will play Grover, with many excited to see where Disney will take this exciting new adaptation. With the series currently in production, Riordan recently estimated that Percy Jackson and the Olympians could release in 2024, though an official window has yet to be confirmed.
