EXCLUSIVE: Disney+ is taking audiences inside the making of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
In honor of the Season 1 finale, the streamer is also releasing the 50-minute documentary A Hero’s Journey: The Making of Percy Jackson and the Olympians alongside the episode. Watch a trailer for the special above.
The trailer features series leads Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri as they dive into Rick Riordan’s world of Greek mythology.
“It’s so weird, because I’ve been imagining it since like third grade and actually being there, you can’t even describe it,” Scobell says, while executive producer Jon Steinberg called it “an adventure” just making the series.
A Hero’s Journey will be streaming on January 30 for viewers to enjoy following the final episode.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been putting up a pretty stellar performance for Disney+ so far. Deadline previously reported the latest numbers from the streamer, attesting that the premiere episode amassed 26.2M views in its first three weeks on Disney+. At the time, all five available episodes episodes had surpassed 10M views in their first week on the platform. No word yet on the performance for Episodes 6 and 7.
Based on Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series by Rick Riordan, the well reviewed Percy Jackson and the Olympians stars Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood.
Created by Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, the series is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J. Goldberg, James Bobin, Jim Rowe, Monica Owusu-Breen, Anders Engström, and Jet Wilkinson.
