Recently a new tv series popped up on Disney Plus, the newest version of Percy Jackson and the Olympians was released on December 19, 2023. Nearly 13 years after the first movie was released, this second one coming in as a tv series proved to be way better than the first one. The movie that was released in 2010 got many low ratings (6.2 thousand 1 star reviews on IMdb), so much so that it stopped production after the release of Sea of Monsters. A main problem was the plot, many viewers did not enjoy how much the plot in the movie deviated from the plot in the book. Some said that it was like a completely different world. Many were also not happy with character castings, the characters often did not act like their given roles.

Now with the new tv series already out and pumping 3 episodes out, the reviews and feedback has been great. Walker Scobell cast as Percy Jackson was a hit. Many were surprised at their new image of Percy Jackson but were relatively satisfied. Leah Jeffries was cast as Annabeth, Charlie Bushnell as Luke, and Aryan Simhadri as Grover. They have been boosted to a new stardom as social media blows up with media frenzy over this beloved world. The actors portray their roles so perfectly that it leaves us on the edge of our seats. Yes, that is a cliche but it’s true!

TV shows and series that include The Summer I Turned Pretty also figured out a loophole to gaining an audience’s love. WIth the use of the newest hits on parts of episodes, viewers tune in more and soon the edits come rushing in like a tsunami on tiktok. Actually, I didn’t know that Percy Jackson got a revamp over the years and I stumbled upon a instagram post raving about the series. I was really confused as I thought they were talking about the movies released before, but a quick google search proved me wrong. I rushed to my computer and binged the last three episodes. Totally worth it!
