Watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a fantasy adventure series based on the popular book series of the same name by Rick Riordan. The show follows Percy Jackson, a teenager who discovers he is the demigod son of the Greek god Poseidon. After getting kicked out of multiple schools for unexplained incidents, Percy learns that he is not like other kids - he is a half-blood, meaning he is half human and half Greek god.

At Camp Half-Blood, a secret training ground for demigods, Percy begins to train and learn to control his demigod abilities. Here he meets other demigods like Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, and Grover Underwood, a satyr who serves as Percy's protector. As Percy starts to settle into life at camp, he soon realizes that things are not as peaceful as they seem. Mythological monsters and ancient forces threaten the safety of the human world as well as Olympus, the home of the Greek gods. Percy and his friends must go on quests to stop these evil beings from destroying civilization.

On his adventures, Percy encounters famous Greek mythological figures like the winged horse Pegasus, the hellhound Cerberus, Medusa, the Minotaur, and many of the Olympian gods themselves, including Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades. He travels across America to famous landmarks like the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, the Parthenon in Nashville, and the Empire State Building in New York, which serves as the entrance to Mount Olympus. Along the way, he learns to harness his demigod powers over water, battle strategy, and leadership.

But Percy also faces challenges as he struggles to come to terms with his godly parentage. He feels abandoned by his father Poseidon and alone in the human world. As Percy forges new friendships and a new family at Camp Half-Blood, he realizes he may finally have a place where he belongs.

The show balances action, adventure, humor, and heart as Percy accepts his new identity as a demigod and defender of Olympus. With stunning visual effects, the series brings Greek mythology to life as Percy and his friends battle ancient monsters, journeys into the Sea of Monsters, and clashes with the titans and their powerful leader Kronos.

Throughout his epic journey of self-discovery, Percy learns how to be a true hero while also dealing with the typical pains of growing up - school, family, first crushes, and finding out who he really is. The show will resonate with tweens and teens while also providing entertainment for mythology fans of all ages. With relatable characters, thrilling adventures steeped in classic myth, and themes of bravery, friendship, and identity, Percy Jackson and the Olympians promises to be an exciting new fantasy series for the whole family.
