The title character is joined by trusted friends Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries) and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) as he encounters several legendary gods of Olympus – from Hermes (Lin-Manuel Miranda) to Poseidon (Toby Jones).

It's likely that Percy Jackson and the Olympians will stick to the standard drop time for Disney Plus originals – that being 12am PT, 3am ET and 8am GMT.

That said, the streaming service has strayed away from this formula in the past, with Star Wars series Ahsoka airing in the evening in the United States, which meant an early hours release for us in the UK.

We'll keep an eye on the Percy Jackson timings to see which approach Disney decides to adopt.

There are eight episodes in the first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

However, creator Rick Riordan is hoping that there will be many more to come, with both the novelist and his fans keen to see the entire saga adapted for the screen across multiple seasons.

Disney Plus is yet to announce whether Percy Jackson and the Olympians will get a season 2.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians premieres on Disney Plus on Wednesday 20th December. You can sign up to Disney Plus for £7.99 a month or £79.90 a year now.
