When author Rick Riordan first published his fantasy series centered on a young, gifted teen named Percy Jackson in 2005, it seemed like everyone was talking about Mount Olympus' demigods.
The five-book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, follows the adventures of Percy, a Greek demigod who is the son of Poseidon and a woman named Sally Jackson, as he goes on quests with his magical friends. The universe Riordan created almost 20 years ago has accumulated a huge fanbase over the years. And while the Percy Jackson series was once adapted into two movies, it’s now getting the full TV series treatment.
The new series, aptly named Percy Jackson and the Olympians, dropped its first two episode on December 20, introducing viewers to Percy’s backstory, before diving into the start of his new adventures. Of course, with only two episodes out, fans are already clamoring for more...
But when does episode 3 drop and where can you watch it? Here’s everything you need to know so far about the new series.
When is the series premiere?
After years of planning, the first two episodes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians hit streamers on Wednesday, December 20. Want a sneak peek before pressing play? You can check out the trailer for a little peek into Percy's world:
