Speaking of Disney+, remember when author Rick Riordan announced a new Percy Jackson and the Olympians series was coming to Disney+? Well, we’ve got an exciting update!

The wildly popular children’s book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, is getting its own series right on Disney+! We already knew that production would begin summer 2022, and now we know who will be playing the title role of Percy Jackson! According to Variety, the lead role will be played by Walker Scobell.

The show is expected to be a live-action adaptation of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series. The original story is about a 12-year-old boy named Percy Jackson, who happens to be a modern demigod tasked with saving Olympus. The books were packed with action, adventure, and friendship!

Disney has since released more info about the cast. Jason Mantzoukas, Megan Mullally, Virginia Kull, Glynn Turman, and Timm Sharpe will all be part of the series. You can read ALL about the roles they’ll be playing by clicking here.

We’re still waiting for more information about the series, but for now, we’re off to check out some of Scobell’s other work, like The Adam Project on Netflix. In the meantime, stay tuned for all the latest Disney news and streaming updates!
