In Percy Jackson and the Olympians – the new Disney+ series premiering in December – Zeus accuses the young demigod of stealing his lightning bolt. But given that it’s just a few months now until the series lands on the streamer, it’s really Jackson fans who have been struck by lightning.
The eight-episode series, which is based on the best-selling fantasy novels by American author Rick Riordan, will tell the story of 12-year-old demigod Percy Jackson, who is balancing getting a handle on his new powers with trying to iron out a major problem in Olympus – and the small matter of puberty.
