It continues to have very good results on Rotten Tomatoes, with a 92 percent approval rating from critics and 81 percent from viewers.
Likewise, Disney’s division, Disney Branded Television, which is responsible exclusively for producing content aimed at children, teens, and families, confirmed that Percy Jackson had the most-watched premiere in the division’s history.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is an adaptation of the eponymous series of fantasy novels by the American writer Rick Riordan. In this six-book series, we follow the adventures of 12-year-old demigod Percy Jackson, son of the sea god Poseidon, and his friends Annabeth Chase, daughter of the goddess Athena, and satyr Grover Underwood.
In the first season of the Disney adaptation, Percy is accused of stealing Zeus’ lightning bolt. Because of this, he and his friends must find a real thief in order to prove his innocence and restore order to Olympus.
The series stars Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri, while supporting roles include Virginia Kull, Glynn Turman, Jason Mantzoukas, Megan Mullally, Timm Sharp, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Lance Reddick, and numerous other actors.
