Disney + is already working on the new adaptation of “Percy Jackson”, the saga of fantasy novels written by Rick Riordan. Walker Scobell will star in the series, which has already been shot using real-world locations and the Stagecraft giant screen sets used for the first time for “The Mandalorian”.
Riordan continues to keep us updated on production news, but this time it does not bring good news. The writer updated his blog to explain that he may not have lived up to his predictions for the Disney + series premiere date. He had bet on next year, but now he urges us to do so “temper our expectations”.
According to him, now that they are already in the flour, he can make a clearer estimate of how long it will take to complete the first season: “It will probably take until December or January to shoot all the episodes of the first season. (…) This means that post-production will begin in early 2023, when all the pieces fit together, be modified and augmented with special effects and sounds. That process also takes months and months, not counting subtitles, audio description, and dubbing in other languages for our international viewers. This will result in another army. “.
Early 2024
Here because, Rick Riordan now thinks “Percy Jackson” is coming to Disney + “early 2024”. Despite this jug of cold water, he wants to remind you that this is again a personal estimate and that we cannot forget that the release date ultimately depends on Disney and its release schedule. Let’s just arm ourselves with patience for our own good.
The first season of “Percy Jackson” will adapt the first novel, “The Lightning Thief”. Leah Sava Jeffries will join Walker Scobell while Annabeth and Aryan Simhadri will play Grover.
