Here's How The Characters From The Percy Jackson Universe Would Look Like In Real Life, Compared To Their Movie And Series Counterparts

by Sophia

A lot of people's inner child has woken up once again when Rick Riordan announced that he would be collaborating with Disney+ for a long due Percy Jackson and the Olympians series because let's face it, none of us OG PJO fans were happy with the two movies that came out in 2010 and 2013 (including Uncle Rick, who has been very vocal about it).

We loved Logan Lerman as Percy and Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth, but hey, you gotta stick to the books!

Fans would always swear over the years that the book series deserved better, and it deserves all the hype and commercial success that the Harry Potter franchise has had all throughout the years. But we can now stop wallowing in complaints because we're finally getting our wish: a series that's faithful to the source material.

The first season would reportedly have eight episodes, covering, of course, the first book. Uncle Rick wishes that the series would span five seasons, probably one for each book, and we can't exactly say we aren't pumped up with the possibility of it!

The series should be on our screens sometime around 2024, but we're betting it would come earlier. In the meantime, though, scroll down and relive all your Camp Half-Blood memories by seeing all these side-by-side comparisons of the characters in their book (AI-generated), movies, and the upcoming series versions!
