Walker Scobell has said the new TV version of Percy Jackson And The Olympians is able to explore “every little detail from the books”, thanks to its episodical format.
The 14-year-old American actor stars as the lead role in a new series based on the six fantasy novels of the same name written by Rick Riordan.
“People who have read the books can enjoy it and people who haven’t read the books; I mean this is a great time to experience it for the first time.
Co-star Leah Jeffries, 14, who plays Annabeth Chase on the show, added: “This is a series that we’re going to grow into, and we’re the right age, doing it like it is in the books, so we have a lot of detail.”
The show follows a young Percy who is on a dangerous quest across America to return Zeus’s master bolt and stop a war.
Logan Lerman starred as Percy Jackson in two film adaptations released in 2010 and 2013.
Percy Jackson And The Olympians from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television, launches with two episodes on Wednesday December 20 on Disney+.
