Percy Jackson and the Olympians marks a reset for the franchise, made possible by Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox, which owned the screen rights to the books.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians has eclipsed Goosebumps to become the top Disney Branded TV premiere with the first episode amassing 13.3M views.

Riordan's first Percy Jackson novel The Lightning Thief was adapted for cinema in 2010 with Logan Lerman in the lead role. Its sequel, The Sea of Monsters, will receive the same treatment next year.

The 'Percy Jackson' showrunners unpack the Season 1 finale, discussing Percy's relationship with Annabeth, the late Lance Reddick and more.
