    Mary Anne ButlerBy 1 Min Read

    We are delighted to share the news that Disney+’s upcoming “Percy Jackson” series has just added two very important characters.

    Leah Sava Jeffries, Walker Scobell, Aryan Simhadri “Percy Jackson,” Disney+

    Aryan Simhadri (“Cheaper by the Dozen“) play satyr Grover Underwood, Percy’s best friend and protector. Leah Sava Jeffries (“Empire“) will play Annabeth Chase, daughter of Athena, friend of Percy and Grover.

    It was previously announced that Walker Scobell (“The Adam Project“) will lead the series as Percy.

    Author Rick Riordan has been highly positive about the Disney+ adaptation so far, which gives us a lot of hope. He’s even writing the pilot!

    We don’t have a likely release date yet, but we’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
