Here’s When Every New Episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Drops
At long last, redemption has come for Percy Jackson. The new Disney+ adaptation of the beloved Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan has arrived, and—unlike the short-lived, much-maligned film series of the early 2010s—this version promises a much more faithful interpretation of Riordan’s vision. (It helps, of course, that Riordan himself had real creative control in this new iteration of Percy’s Camp Half-Blood adventures.) Fans of the books likely already know what awaits them in the coming episodes of season 1, but if reviews are any indication, that knowledge will do little to dull their excitement at seeing those events cinematically realized. Here’s when (and how) to watch.
