Lightning Strikes a Modern Demigod in the First “Percy Jackson and The Olympians” Trailer

The first trailer for Disney+’s Percy Jackson and The Olympians has arrived, revealing Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg’s upcoming series about the titular demigod Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) and his tempestuous connection to the Gods of Mt. Olympus. Those connections include the mighty and mightily peeved Zeus (the late Lance Reddick), who accuses Percy of stealing his master lightning bolt. Yikes.

Being on Zeus’s bad side is not the only thing troubling Percy.
