Disney's PercyJackson show has found its Annabeth and Grover! Actors Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri will take on the roles, joining Walker Scobell as Percy to complete the core trio.
The upcoming Disney+ Percy Jackson and the Olympians TV series has officially found its new Annabeth and Grover. Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a pentalogy written by Rick Riordan that was published between 2005 - 2009. The hugely popular book series follows the adventures of 12-year-old Percy Jackson after he discovers he is a demigod and son of Poseidon.
Now, Disney+ is developing a second live-action adaption of Percy Jackson that will take the form of a TV series. Riordan is a major component of the production team, meaning that this series will likely be far more book accurate that the film series. However, many details of the series have been kept under wraps, particularly regarding casting. However, in early April, the very first cast member was officially announced: Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson.
In his announcement, Riordan praised the two young actors. Disney is nothing new to Simhadri, who has starred in both Disney's Cheaper by the Dozen reboot and in Disney Channel’s Spin. Riordan described Simhadri as exceedingly sweet and having an amazing sense of humor. Reportedly, he and Scobell already have a strong dynamic going between them. Meanwhile, Jeffries is a rising young actress who initially gained attention for her portrayal of Lola in Empire.
Both Simhadri and Jeffries seem to be excellent casting choices for the Disney+ Percy Jackson series. One of the biggest complaints about the live-action films is that the actors and actresses cast were far too old to portray the characters accurately. In the series, the ages are pretty central to the plot and to how the characters handle trials and grow as the series progresses. Scobell, Simhadri, and Jeffries might not exactly look how viewers imagined, but that's really not a big deal.
