What we know so far about Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Rick Riordan (right), with the cast of the show
Back in 2020, it was announced that Percy Jackson was going to get a new TV series.
The series imagines a world where Greek gods live in our world, and follows 12-year-old Percy as he gets used to his superhuman powers. He meets other demigods and discovers he is the son of Poseidon, who is god of the sea.
Percy faces lots of different quests and challenges - including one from Zeus, the god of the sky.
The series will follow this plot with Zeus, and it's based on the first book in the series, called Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief.
