We are delighted to share the news that Lance Reddick and Toby Stephensen have joined Disney+’s upcoming “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” series! Reddick will be playing the King of the Gods himself, Zeus. Stephens will be playing Poseidon.
Yes, author Rick Riordon is VERY involved with the series. He’s actually been our best source of intel. Things like…filming has completed on 8 episodes, which makes up season 1!
Stephens is no stranger to the oceans, as he played Captain Flint across all 4 seasons of STARZ piratical drama series “Black Sails.” And, most recently, we fell in love with him all over again as John Robinson in Netflix’s absolutely fantastic “Lost in Space” reboot.
Reddick of course is no stranger to a variety of genre projects, from the “John Wick” films to the “Destiny” video games, and of course, “Fringe” and Netflix’s recent “Resident Evil” series.
“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” will hit Disney+ at a later date.
