Percy jackson Show Cast
The eponymous character, played by Walker Scobell, is a 12-year-old who discovers that he is a demigod and the child of a Greek god and a mortal woman. As Percy’s friends Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri also appear on screen.
Lin-Manuel Miranda plays Hermes, Megan Mullally plays Alecto/Mrs. Dodds, Toby Stephens plays Poseidon, Virginia Kull plays Sally Jackson, Jason Mantzoukas plays Dionysus/Mr. D, Jay Duplass plays Hades, Glynn Turman plays Chiron/Mr. Brunner, Adam Copeland plays Ares, Charlie Bushnell plays Luke Castellan, Dior Goodjohn plays Clarisse La.
The first two episodes of the series were written by Riordan and fellow executive producer Jon Steinberg (Black Sails, The Old Man), unlike the two films based on the books. The initial two episodes were directed by James Bobin.
“One thing that we all agreed on was the need to protect what made Percy Jackson Percy Jackson by taking every precautionary measure. That combines a contemporary setting, classical mythology, action, and humor,” Riordan said in a June interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
“We made sure to find actors who were the right age for Percy at the beginning of the books so that viewers could watch Percy, Annabeth, and Grover grow up on the screen, just like you read about them growing up from age 12 to 16 in the five books, and that is one way that that manifested itself. The young performers we discovered are great, so I’m definitely glad we handled it that way.”
Percy Jackson Show Plot
The Lightning Thief, the first novel in the series, will be followed throughout the season. As Percy adjusts to his newly discovered supernatural abilities, Zeus (the late Lance Reddick), the sky god, accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt. Percy embarks on the quest of a lifetime to find it and put Olympus back in order with the aid of Grover and Annabeth.
The show’s creators are Steinberg and Dan Shotz; production ended early this year, far before the current writers’ and actors’ strikes. Along with Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein of The Gotham Group, Jeremy Bell, D.J. Goldberg, Bert Salke, Bobin, Jim Rowe, Monica Owusu-Breen, Anders Engström, and Jet Wilkinson, they serve as executive producers.
