The series will now go through intensive post-production, which is projected to run into 2023, confirming the reported early 2024 premiere date. While filming has concluded and the first eight episodes are still in post-production, a big casting update has been made.
As of now, Jennifer Shirley, renowned for her appearances in “Batwoman” and “Supernatural,” has been cast in an episode of the upcoming Disney+ series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” and Jennifer Shirley As The Oracle has been highlighted by IMDb. However, because Leah Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri, who play Annabeth Chase and Grover Underwood, are said to appear in two episodes each, it’s probable that the information for all cast members is inaccurate.
