Earlier, we reported that the first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is all set to premiere on December 20. On Sunday, Disney+ Hotstar released the first look posters of Jessica Parker Kennedy and Jason Mantzoukas from the series.
While Jessica plays Medusa, Jason will feature as Dionysus in the series. While the latter is seen sporting a casual Hawaiin shirt, the former's face is covered with a hat, possibly to cover her head of snakes.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians is about the 12-year-old titular character played by Walker Scobell. Everything is fine in his normal life until one of his teachers attacks him and reveals himself to be a monster, leading Percy to learn from his mother that he is a demigod. As he shifts to Camp Half-Blood to be with people like him, trouble brews.
Others part of the cast include Lance Reddick, Aryan Simhadri, Leah Sava Jeffries, and Virginia Kull, among others. Guest and recurring actors are Lin-Manuel Miranda, Megan Mullally, Toby Stephens, Jay Duplass, and Glynn Turman.
The series is based on Rick Riordan's book series. Percy Jackson and the Olympians is run by Jon Steinberg and Dan Shotz and helmed by James Bobin. With the first two episodes set to premiere on December 20, the following episodes will be released every Wednesday.
