Percy Jackson show release date
The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is now streaming on Disney+. Season 2 is currently in production and will air in 2025.
Each season of PJO will cover one book from the original series.
Percy Jackson show cast
Unlike in the 2010 movie adaptation, Percy and his friends are portrayed as 12-year-olds, just like they are in the first book. This means audiences can watch them grow up as the seasons go along, sort of like the Harry Potter movies.
The show made headlines several times during its filming as more of the cast was announced on social media. Notable cast members include Lin-Manuel Miranda as Hermes and the late Lance Reddick as Zeus.

Where to watch the Percy Jackson movies
There are two Percy Jackson movies: one adapting The Lightning Thief and one adapting The Sea of Monsters. Starring Logan Lerman as Percy and Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth, the movies saw a lot of criticism for straying too far from the books.
You absolutely do not have to watch the movies to understand the new show, since it’s a full reboot. But it might be fun to rewatch them just to compare.

Read the Percy Jackson books in order
There were five books in the original Percy Jackson & the Olympians book series, but author Rick Riordan has published several books in the same universe in the years since.
- The Lightning Thief
- The Sea of Monsters
- The Titan’s Curse
- The Battle of the Labyrinth
- The Last Olympian
Percy Jackson & the Olympians is a series about teenage demigods—the children of the Greek pantheon of gods—who go to a special summer camp called Camp Half-Blood. The camp often sends them on quests across the country to find magical objects and battle evil forces.
- The Lost Hero
- The Son of Neptune
- The Mark of Athena
- The House of Hades
- The Blood of Olympus
The Heroes of Olympus is a direct continuation to the PJO series, and features many of the same characters. However, it also introduces a new camp and cast of Roman demigods, in addition to the Greek ones from the original story.
- The Red Pyramid
- The Throne of Fire
- The Serpent’s Shadow
The Kane Chronicles is a spinoff series about Egyptian mythology. It never really crosses over into the world of Percy Jackson, although some of the characters do interact in the Demigods & Magicians miniseries.
- The Sword of Summer
- The Hammer of Thor
- The Ship of the Dead
Magnus Chase is the cousin of Annabeth Chase from the original Percy Jackson series. This is as far as the connection between the two series gets, though, as Magnus is the child of a Vanir god and his series focuses on Norse mythology.
- The Hidden Oracle
- The Dark Prophecy
- The Burning Maze
- The Tyrant’s Tomb
- The Tower of Nero
The Trials of Apollo is another continuation of the Percy Jackson story, and takes place years after Heroes of Olympus. Instead of focusing on a demigod, it follows the now-demoted god Apollo in his adventures on earth.
The Sun and the Star is a standalone spinoff novel that takes place after The Trials of Apollo. It focuses on fan favorite character Nico di Angelo, a son of Hades. This book was also co-written by Mark Oshiro.
The Senior Year Adventures
Rick Riordan returned to writing Percy’s POV for The Chalice of the Gods, technically the sixth book in the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, although it was published 14 years after the fifth book. The seventh book, The Wrath of the Triple Goddess, comes out on September 24, 2024.
