Percy Jackson has a new lease on life in Hollywood. Development on a serialized reboot of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is actively in production at Disney, currently filming its premiere season in Vancouver. The show has enlisted the talents of Walker Scobell in the titular role, while author Rick Riordan serves as an executive producer. While Percy Jackson is still in the earlier stages of its eight-month production shoot, the series has already accomplished quite a bit. The James Bobin-directed episodes have balanced both on-location and virtual StageCraft shoots, while also working in original “non-book” scenes created exclusively for the show.

In a new interview Walker Scobell briefly shared what will make his iteration of #PercyJackson different from past iterations: “He’s get pretty angry and I like that alot.” pic.twitter.com/MFU7LhMn1p
