Jeffries’ Annabeth is a daughter of the goddess Athena and is a brilliant strategist. She has spent the past five years in Camp Half-Blood and longs to test her skills in the outside world.

Simhadri’s Grover is a satyr, a half-man and half-goat creature, who helps guide Percy to Camp Half-Blood. He joins the titular hero and Annabeth on their journey.

Production on the series is ready to begin soon in Vancouver. Riordan and Jon Steinberg wrote the pilot for the series, with James Bobin set to direct. Steinberg and Dan Shotz are set to oversee the series and serve as executive producers alongside Bobin, Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Bert Salke, Monica Owusu-Breen, Jim Rowe, Anders Engström, Jet Wilkinson, and Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, and D.J. Goldberg.
