The program has no fixed launch date; however, production began in May 2022 and is expected to conclude in January 2023. From time to time the production is announcing the major Percy Jackson Casts swiftly.
In September 2022, Disney+ aired a teaser:
“If you’re a fan of the books or even if you just love a good adventure, you are going to love this show. We still have months and months of post-production work to do, but the team is wrapping up in Vancouver with a sense of pride and accomplishment,” Riordan stated in his blog post.
“When we finally meet Poseidon toward the end of season one (just as we do in the book), Toby is incredible on screen,” Riordan further stated about the Percy Jackson Cast. “When he delivered some of Poseidon’s iconic lines, I got chills. And seeing him and Walker together, you can absolutely believe they are father and son.”

When the series was initially announced, Ayo Davis, head of Disney Branded Television, commented on the following.
“With Rick Riordan, Jon Steinberg and Dan Shotz leading our creative team, we’re deep into creating a compelling TV series worthy of the heroic mythological characters that millions of Percy Jackson readers know are well-worth caring about, and we’re eager to invite Disney+ audiences into stories that are true to the blockbuster franchise and full of anticipation, humor, surprise, and mystery,”
