Percy Jackson and the Olympians is in the back half of its production, but the upcoming streaming show continues to add talent to its ensemble. Casting kicked off earlier this year when it was announced that The Adam Project standout Walker Scobell would be taking on the titular role. From there, Leah Jeffries (Beast) and Aryan Simhadri (Cheaper by the Dozen) rounded out the core trio as Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, respectively, while veteran actors such as Glynn Turman and Jason Mantzoukas were brought on to fulfill positions of power at Camp Half-Blood. The castings have gone beyond the haven for demigods as well, as WWE Hall of Famer Adam “Edge” Copeland was brought in to play the god of war, Ares.
