Yesterday, Disney+ brought Percy Jackson and the Olympians to New York Comic Con. Those in attendance were treated to a special sneak peek with never-before-seen clips from the upcoming series - which sadly haven't been released online - and were surprised with an appearance from best-selling author and series executive producer Rick Riordan.
Fellow executive producer Rebecca Riordan was also on hand (the cast obviously wasn't present due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike), as were series executive producers Jon Steinberg, Dan Shotz, and James Bobin, who also directed the first two episodes.
They were joined by four members of the production team, production designer Dan Hennah, costume designer Tish Monaghan, VFX supervisor Erik Henry and ILM VFX supervisor Jeff White.
Today, a full list of the show's guest stars has also been revealed, and they include:
- Lin-Manuel Miranda as "Hermes"
- Megan Mullally as "Alecto" aka "Mrs. Dodds"
- Toby Stephens as "Poseidon"
- Virginia Kull as "Sally Jackson"
- Jason Mantzoukas as "Dionysus" aka "Mr. D"
