Apart from the technical aspects, the details of the series remained strictly defined. The eight-episode first season will follow the events of the first installment in the Greek mythology series by Riordan Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief , starring Walker Scobell.
Director James Bobin shared on Instagram several views from the set in Vancouver, highlighting the lake and wooded area that is likely to be Camp Half-Blood.
The lake is a particularly important element, as the various bodies of water located in Camp Half-Blood are the site of important moments in Lightning Thief. During Percy’s first game in Capture the Flag, Poseidon’s son is tasked with patrolling the river as the water protects him. At the end of the book, Percy has a crucial conversation with Luke on the same river, culminating in Hermes’ son revealing his wicked sympathies.
Bobin ‘s director’s chair set by the lake may mean that one of the book scenes mentioned is filmed, or it may be an entirely original segment created for the series.
Whatever the scene, Annabeth probably won’t be in it. Actress Leah Sava Jeffries, who plays Athena’s daughter on the show, is currently in New York shooting for her upcoming film The Beast .
