Essentially a TV reboot of the movie series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians looks like a much more faithful retelling of the beloved Rick Riordan novels. The eight-part debut season is an adaptation of The Lightning Thief, which sees Percy (Walker Scobell) incur the wrath of Zeus (the late Lance Reddick) when the king of the gods discovers that his Master Bolt has been stolen.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians streaming details

The first two episodes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians landed on Disney Plus (in select territories) on Wednesday, December 20. Episodes continue weekly.
Time: 12:01 a.m. ET / 9 p.m. PT (Tue) / 7:01 a.m. GMT / 6:01 p.m. AEDT

• Global stream — Disney Plus

Quite why the great Olympian believes a hapless and cripplingly docile 12-year-old to be responsible for the heist is initially a mystery. Could it be that the god of thunder isn't the brightest spark? However, it soon becomes clear that Zeus' suspicions are tied to the boy's divine lineage. 

Percy is a demigod, and with the protection of the satyr Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) and a little formal training from Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries), a daughter of Athena, at the demigod sanctuary Camp Half-Blood, he shows himself to be capable of extraordinary feats. 

Just as he's getting to learn his own strengths, Zeus demands the return of his prized possession, and to get their hands on it Percy, Grover and Annabeth are going to have to embark on a series of Herculean labours, featuring the Minotaur, Chimera, Medusa, and a trip into the Underworld.

It'll bring ancient Greek mythology to life and have you trawling the web to separate Riordan’s tales from the ones they were based on, so read on as we explain how to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney Plus (one of our top picks for the new shows and movies to watch in December 2023). Check out the trailer below:
