Lucca, 01 de noviembre de 2026.- El elenco y los showrunners de 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' hablaron con Variety en Lucca Comics, donde abordaron la evolución actoral de los protagonistas y el tono más oscuro de la tercera temporada, que se estrenará en Disney+ en noviembre.
Walker Scobell, de 17 años, interpreta a Percy Jackson; Leah Sava Jeffries da vida a Annabeth Chase y Aryan Simhadri encarna a Grover Underwood. Simhadri es el mayor de los tres con 20 años. La serie comenzó hace cuatro años, cuando los actores tenían entre 13 y 16 años.
Scobell reflexionó sobre las limitaciones que el guion impone a su personaje: "I think for Percy at least a lot of it is the writing. There's only so much I can do because a lot of the time it's just Percy having things explained to him, and then action. So, there's only so much room in there to grow".
Simhadri, por su parte, describió cómo ha cambiado su trabajo emocional con el paso de las temporadas: "I used to have a really hard time crying on set. I always found it really difficult, and there was a day on Season 3 where I just had to really sob, and now I find it really easy. That's kind of the whole point of being on a TV show for such a long time: your character helps you, and you help your character. Like you both grow together, like you're genuinely in a friendship with someone in a weird way".
Jeffries se refirió al tono de la nueva entrega: "It's a good thing that it's so much darker this season, which I'm very happy about because for me personally, I love playing the dark type of scenes. I like playing the arguing and big scenes – stuff like that". La actriz también bromeó sobre las expectativas en las entrevistas: "Have you seen those interviews where they'll ask the girl to scream and then she'll just scream out of nowhere. Nah, daddy, I can't do that", y añadió entre risas: "Sorry, I'm using my school slang".
Sobre las diferencias entre los libros y la serie, Simhadri explicó: "There are minor changes in our script versus the books. Our writers are so incredible that it would be almost disrespectful to not honor what they've put on the page. We do so much preparation: we learn the books inside and out, so that way on the day we can just focus".
Jonathan E. Steinberg, co-creador y showrunner junto con el autor Rick Riordan, comentó el contexto de estreno de la segunda temporada, 'Sea of Monsters', que llegó seis u ocho meses antes del estreno de 'The Odyssey' de Christopher Nolan: "It was fun seeing all that when 'The Odyssey' came out. Obviously, 'Sea of Monsters' [Season 2] came out six or eight months before. People who felt 'The Odyssey' was too mature for their kid".
Scobell también comparó la respuesta del público en distintas ciudades: "I feel like Italy and Brazil are the biggest, happiest and most energetic", y sobre Londres señaló: "London is very quiet but engaged. If you can make the London crowd laugh, it's a great feeling". Jeffries coincidió en el contraste: "Going from Brazil to London was crazy, the difference".
