Percy Jackson Disney+ Show Filming Begins June 2022

screenrant.com:

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.

Disney's television reboot of the series was confirmed in early 2020, with series one focusing primarily as an adaptation of the first novel The Lightning Thief. The show will also follow in the footsteps of Netflix's A Series of Unfortunate Events in that it will be co-written by the author himself, providing another layer of faithfulness and accuracy to the adaptation. Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz are onboard as showrunners of the series with The Muppets director James Bobin directing the pilot episode and Oscar-winner Dan Hennah acting as production designer. Although the series is yet to find its Percy Jackson, Riordan has reassured fans that casting is well-underway with chemistry reads currently taking place.

Now, Riordan has provided further clarification on how the series is developing and has even confirmed when it is set to start shooting. Speaking on his personal website, Riordan discusses his recent trip to LA and Vancouver
