Logan Lerman, Alexandra Daddario, and Brandon T. Jackson will soon give way to Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri as the new Camp Jupiter Trio.
Obviously, Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based on the fantasy book series written by Rick Riordan.
The series will follow Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old boy who discovers that he is a demigod, the son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.
Along with his friends Annabeth Chase, the daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood, a satyr, Percy must go on a quest to prevent a war between the gods of Olympus.
Filming on the 8-episode series will mostly cover the first book in the series, The Lightning Thief.
The premiere was written by Riordan, along with Jon Steinberg. James Bobin served as director. Little else is known about the remaining 7 episodes.
The series has been in development for several years, and it was originally scheduled to premiere in 2020. However, the production was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The first adaptation of the books, a film trilogy from 20th Century Fox was largely a failure due to significant changes to the source material, which upset many fans. For example, the films changed the ages of the characters, the relationships between the characters, and the plot of the story.
The casting of the films was also criticized by fans. Many fans felt that the actors did not look like the characters in the books, and that they did not portray the characters accurately.
Lastly, the films were also criticized for their tone. The films were more lighthearted and comedic than the books, which upset some fans who wanted a more faithful adaptation.
