Percy Jackson live-action TV series coming to Disney Plus!

So are the black pauses during the show used for subscribers with commercials?

The cast has to rest some time in between takes . . .

Would have been a great act of synergy to have some National Geographic tie-in episodes explaining the real myths explored on the show.

Some great little details here:

Seems the show is a legit hit- no wonder there’s not a peep here about it.

 

[Phicinfan]

I am really enjoying it

 

[MisterPenguin]

I'm liking it!

You mean more people are watching it than Echo? How could this be?
Percy Jackson is a pretty decent show and much better than the crappy movies.

We think it's fantastic in our household.

 

[Disney Irish]

I've like all the episodes so far.

And the Edge cameo in the last episode was pretty cool.

 

[pigglewiggle]

Anyone still watching? I'm surprised how much we are enjoying this show. It has stayed strong all the way through thus far. Hoping for a second season.

A Hero’s Journey: The Making of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will be available for streaming on Disney+ on January 30, 2024.

Here's the trailer.

IMHO its really well written, acted, and composed. Not trying to do anything but entertain and doing that quiet well.

We've been watching in our household and enjoying it. Certainly good enough that I hope there is multiple season and potentially even spinoffs (I know there were novels in the same universe using Egyptian and Norse gods).

"Though Disney has yet to greenlight a second season of “Percy Jackson,” the studio has at least opened a writers’ room, which Steinberg and co-showrunner Dan Shotz say is making great progress. “There is an awareness on everyone’s part that the demand for the show seems to suggest we should probably not stop making it,” Steinberg says with a laugh."

I thought they ended this season just right, hopefully a second season gets greenlit.

 

[Fox&Hound]

Wow- great season! Kept getting better and better. And loved the behind the scenes feature. Amazing what they can do with technology!!!!!!

 

[Phroobar]

I thought it was pretty good. My son didn't like it because it didn't follow the book 100% and it took liberties with the myology. Most people would never notice. It was much better than the musical.
