Percy Jackson and the Olympians is just over one month away. The serialized adaptation of Rick Riordan’s best-selling novels has gone through quite the odyssey to get to this point, as a live-action attempt at the franchise has not been attempted in over a decade. Following Disney’s acquisition of 20th Century Fox in 2019, Riordan began pushing for the house of mouse to take a closer look at his life work’s potential in Hollywood, and by early 2020, development on a Percy Jackson Disney+ series had commenced. Two years on from that, Percy Jackson landed Walker Scobell (The Adam Project) for the show’s titular role, and eight months of production followed.

As announced on social media, Percy Jackson and the Olympians will premiere its official trailer on Thursday, November 16th at 9 AM ET.

This new trailer will be the fourth batch of footage officially released by Percy Jackson. The project’s first teaser trailer dropped back at Disney D23 Expo in September 2022, showcasing scenes from just the first three months of production.

This next trailer will likely serve as the full trailer, one which gives new fans a taste of the Season 1 storyline.
