Based on Rick Riordan’s famous novels. Percy Jackson is accused of stealing Zeus’ lightning bolt, which awakens his celestial abilities. Percy (Wade Scobell) must go with Grover (Aryan Simhadri) and Annabeth (Liv Tyler) to restore peace on Mount Olympus (Leah Sava Jeffries).
Hades is an eccentric genius. He resents past wrongs. After being tossed down Mount Olympus, Hephaestus was disabled. He’s powerful, caring, and forgiving despite the Gods’ turmoil.
Jay Duplass is in Transparent, Search Party, and The Mindy Project. He’s in HBO’s Industry’s third season. Duplass directed Cyrus, Jeff, and Baghead.
