Hot off the heels of 16 Children’s and Family Emmy nominations, eight wins (the most for a Disney+ series), a Season Two release month, and a Season Three renewal… it’s a dam good time to be a Percy Jackson fan!

What better way to celebrate the news and kick off our deep dive into Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season One than by chatting with someone from the creative team?

Daphne Olive’s path to the writers' room is anything but traditional. From jewelry designer to Black Sails podcaster to staff writer on The Old Man and Percy Jackson and the Olympians. In this episode, we dive into the collaborative process behind bringing Percy’s world to life.

We also explore how the show deepened perspectives on Percy, Annabeth, and Grover, the role of fate and prophecy in shaping their journeys, and how the creative team crafted a Percy Jackson that feels true to its roots while building its roots as a television series.
