Percy Jackson’s New Trailer Points To A More Faithful Adaptation Than Ever Before | Watch Teaser Trailer

Disney+ is now deep into the production of the Percy Jackson TV series, adapting the beloved works of author Rick Riordan, centered on the son of Poseidon.

Of course, this isn’t the first time that the adventures of Jackson and his campmates have made it to the screen, but there are some strong indications that this time around, the adaptation is going to be far more faithful to what was on the page.

After all, those initial movies certainly didn’t quite live up to expectations, nor did they launch the franchise they were perhaps intended to. 

D23 revealed the first trailer for the Disney+ series, giving audiences a hint of how far this iteration of the story has come, in comparison to 2010’s Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief and 2013’s Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters.

What are the signs that the Walt Disney Company is moving in the right direction though? What can be learned from those initial movies and what do fans still need to see to be reassured that this incredible fantasy series is going to get the platform it deserves? 

Tackling this franchise once again was always going to be an ambitious project, but Disney seems willing to take on the challenge.

News that the TV show that would be heading to the streaming service was the first indication that the entertainment company knew what they were doing.

The fact is, the novels work far better in this serialized format, giving the fantasy piece enough room to adapt all the smallest details of the novels.

The characters who make up the camp, what life is like in this odd academy and all the minor battles that Percy and his friends experience; the kinds of moments that had to be rushed in a movie.

Watch the teaser trailer below.
