Disney+'s Percy Jackson series gets first look posters

Disney+ has unveiled the first main character posters for Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

The adaptation of Rick Riordan's best-selling novels wrapped production on its first season back in February.

With fans eager to get a glance, Disney+ has released three character posters for the series, as shared on their Twitter page on Saturday (July 22).

The collection showcases Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Jeffries (Annabeth Chase), and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) on their own individual frames.

Percy's poster features him wielding Riptide, his iconic pen-turned-sword weapon.

Annabeth is seen brandishing her signature dagger and is flanked by an owl, one of her godly parent Athena's symbols.

Meanwhile, Grover is seen wearing an orange Camp Half-Blood tee and is backed by his reed pipes.

The series revolves around the titular Percy Jackson, a young boy who discovers that he is secretly a demigod, being the son of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea.

Riordan has written five stories in his incredibly popular book series, taking readers on an unpredictable journey as Percy grows up and embraces his identity to help save the world.

Also starring in the series are Lin-Manuel Miranda, the late Lance Reddick, Toby Stephens, Adam Copeland, Suzanne Cryer, and Jessica Parker Kennedy.

Fans shouldn't expect the series too soon, as Riordan has emphasised in prior posts that the post-production process will take almost as long as filming did.

In an interview with ComicBook in May, Riordan expressed his satisfaction with the adaptation.

"I've seen cuts of all the episodes at this point, multiple cuts because they do go through a manuscript," Riordan said.

"They go through revision, after revision, after revision. They're great. Honestly, I think my first reaction was relief. I was like, 'Oh, thank goodness. I think the fans are going to be pleased.' That's all I want."

Percy Jackson and the Olympians will consist of eight episodes and is due to arrive on Disney+ in 2024.
