Percy Jackson Cast Announcement for Percy, Grover & Annabeth Coming Soon

screenrant.com:

Author, Rick Riordan, is sharing that a cast announcement for the upcoming television adaptation of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will be made soon. The best-selling novel series of the same name follows its titular character, Percy Jackson, a young demigod who embarks on an adventure to prevent the Titans from destroying the world in the 21st century. Riordan revealed back in 2020 that Disney would produce the new live-action show, set to premiere on its streaming platform, and that the first season would cover The Lightning Thief. The author has also explained that he would be involved in the series' development, sharing updates along the way on his personal website, most recently confirming that production of the Disney+ adaptation would begin in June in Vancouver, Canada.

Fans of the source material are likely familiar with the 20th Century Fox film adaptations, the first of which, The Lightning Thief, was released in 2010, with Sea of Monsters coming out three years later. While both projects proved to be successful at the box office, they received criticism for their overall handling of the original novels, with Riordan also expressing disappointment in the changes made to his stories. Fans did, however, enjoy the performances from Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, and Brandon T. Jackson, and news of the upcoming series has caused many to take to social media to campaign for their involvement, opening up discussions surrounding its casting. Riordan addressed some of the buzz by saying that he has no idea if actors from the Percy Jackson movies would return for another role but added that the point of the new series is to start fresh.
