Based on Rick Riordan’s hit series of novels, Percy Jackson and the Olympians shows the titular hero coming to terms with his newfound powers after discovering he’s a demigod. Percy’s life turns upside down after the all-mighty Zeus accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt, and he now must go the extra mile to restore order to Olympus.

This series will be led by relative newcomers Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, and Aryan Simhadri as Glover Underwood. The list of its guest stars is pretty impressive and includes the likes of Lin-Manuel Miranda, Megan Mullally, Toby Stephens, Virginia Kull, Jason Mantzoukas, Jay Duplass, Glynn Turman, and the late Lance Reddick.

Rick Riordan’s novels have previously been adapted into two films starring Logan Lerman, but the author is promising a more faithful adaptation this time around. He’s been working with Disney+ from the get-go and serves as the show’s executive producer.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians will premiere on Disney+ on December 20, and the first season will feature a total of eight episodes.

The official synopsis describes this series as “the fantastical story of a 12-year-old modern demigod, Percy Jackson, who’s just coming to terms with his newfound supernatural powers when the sky god Zeus accuses him of stealing his master lightning bolt.”

Based on Rick Riordan’s hit fantasy book series, Percy Jackson previously inspired two films led by Logan Lerman, but Disney’s new series is expected to offer a deeper look at the source material. Riordan worked closely with showrunners Jon Steinberg and Dan Shotz to make sure this series is true to his vision, and he’ll serve as its executive producer.

Walker Scobell will play the titular hero this time around, while the supporting cast includes Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Jason Mantzoukas, Megan Mullally, Glynn Turman, Virgina Kull, and Lin-Manuel Miranda.

The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will feature a total of eight episodes, and the first two will premiere on Disney+ on December 20.
