'Percy Jackson and The Olympians' series poster unveiled
After much anticipation, Rick Riordan's beloved book series is finally being adapted into a series, soon to drop on Disney Plus. Yesterday, the studio took to their social media accounts to unveil a sneak-peek of the poster, captioning it "Heroes are made in #PercyJackson and the Olympians, coming to Disney+".
The shooting of the series has already been wrapped earlier in the year. The new poster focuses on important symbols within the Percy Jackson universe, featuring two objects fans will recognize from the series itself as well as the general Greek mythology of it all. At the top is the flag for Camp Half-Blood, complete with its bold orange color, of course.
Throughout the book series' tenure thus far, Camp Half-Blood's bright logo has become a widely recognized image — even for those who may not be able to place exactly where it originates. A gladiator helmet rests underneath the flag. It sports a blue plume that can represent Percy's godly lineage, as he is the son of Poseidon.
"Percy Jackson and the Olympians" is adapted from the bestselling middle grade book series by Rick Riordan. Season 1 of the show will focus on book 1, "The Lightning Thief". It introduces young demigod Percy (Walker Scobell), an ordinary kid who learns he's much more extraordinary than he thought. After he's attacked by a monster at school, his mother Sally (Virgina Kull) tells Percy he's a demigod and sends him to Camp Half-Blood, where he can be around other kids like him. However, Percy is soon swept into a brewing war in Olympus, relying on the help of his new friends Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) to stop things before they get worse.
