New images from the anticipated Disney+ series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, reveal the show's mighty guest stars. Among these are Lin-Manuel Miranda, performing as the god Hermes, as well as the late Lance Reddick's portrayal of Zeus. These images presented a thrilling first look for fans worldwide as they were shared during the New York Comic Con (NYCC) 2023.

Percy Jackson fans who attended the NYCC were privileged with a sneak peek of the series and the surprise appearance of the author himself, Rick Riordan. The uploaded images also highlighted other stars in the series, such as Megan Mullally as Alecto/Mrs. Dodds, Toby Stephens as Poseidon, and many others who are set to bring the mythical world of Percy Jackson to life.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is set to have its debut with a two-episode premiere on Disney+ on December 20, 2023, with subsequent episodes released weekly over the eight-episode first season. The series features an adventure where lead characters (Percy Jackson, Grover, and Annabeth) journey across America to find Zeus's missing lightning bolt, a bolt Percy is falsely claimed to have stolen. This inaugural season broadly interprets Riordan's first book, The Lightning Thief.

On a final note, it's worth mentioning that other books from Riordan's Percy Jackson series have previously been adapted into feature films. These had mixed ratings, with The Lightning Thief scored at a 4/10 and Sea of Monsters at a 6/10.
