The popular teenage demigod written by author Rick Riordan is about to make his small-screen debut in an eight-part fantasy series that you can watch with a Disney Plus subscription. We’ll also go over how to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians online, where new episodes are released every week, in this tutorial.
When we first meet Percy (Walker Scobell), he appears to be the antithesis of a conventional hero. Though he bears the name of Perseus, the monster-slaying son of Zeus, he is just a regular child whose main goal is to stay out of the bullies’ way at school. But as he gets closer to being a teenager, things start to feel extremely different for him.
Virginia Kull, Percy’s mother, is soon compelled to tell her son the truth. As a young man who is half god and half human, it is his responsibility to realize his potential and become an expert in the supernatural abilities that have been inherited.
Allegedly pilfering lightning from Zeus, the godhead, Percy needs to gather all his courage and bravery to go out on a mission with friends Grover (Aryan Simhadri) and Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries) to retrieve the master bolt and avert the possibility of a full-scale conflict.
Percy’s trip in this magical adventure will be both emotional and physical, and he will encounter a bewildering mix of helping heroes and evil monsters along the way. The latter resulted in some enjoyable cameos from stars like Megan Mullally (Will & Grace), Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton), Adam Copeland (WWE’s Edge) as Ares, and the late Lance Reddick (The Wire) as Zeus.
Plot Of The Show
Though few details are available at this time, Percy Jackson and the Olympians are expected to stick closely to the original book series’ premise, which follows a young boy and his friends as they navigate a magical and mythical world.
Because one of Percy’s parents is a Greek god and the other is a human, he is known as a “half-blood” in this world. After discovering that he is the son of Poseidon, Percy enlists in Camp Half-Blood to learn more about his past and future.
Percy’s formerly normal world is completely upended when he discovers more about his ancestry and comes to terms with his immense power and associated responsibilities.
For Percy and those who inherit their parents’ godlike skills, the world is often a frightening and very different place since they are able to sense hidden foes and dangers that the average person is unaware of.

On Wednesday, December 20, the first two episodes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians premiere on Disney Plus. New episodes of the eight-part series will then air every Wednesday until the season finale on January 31.

It should be noted that the US version of Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ first episode is also available for streaming on Hulu concurrently with its Disney Plus release.
