Open Call Audition Now Available for the ‘Percy Jackson’ Disney+ Series. Disney+ has announced they are looking for their new Percy Jackson! An open call audition shares:
“Seeking: [PERCY JACKSON] Playing 12, male. A smart, compassionate kid, with a sharp sense of humor. He’s always seen himself as an outsider, in no small part because of how the world sees his ADHD and dyslexia. He’s no wallflower though. He’s impulsive and rambunctious, and is quick to anger when things seem unfair to him. Sarcasm is just another service he offers, but beneath his cynicism is an affectionate son and loyal friend who just wants to do right by those he cares about. If only he could find a place where he fits in.“

If you know a child/teen who fits the bill and wants to audition for the role of Percy Jackson, follow these STEPS provided by Disney below:
“STEP 1: Please pick and have your child prepare their favorite passage from the book series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”.
STEP 2: As your child performs the passage, we want to see their face straight-on (as opposed to angled/in profile). While they do not have to memorize the passage, please make sure that while reading, there are moments where they are speaking and looking directly at the camera (so we can see their face). The frame of the video should be fairly close (from the top of the head to just below the shoulders, as shown in the image below).
STEP 3: After your child has performed the passage, please have them look directly into the camera and have them tell us their NAME, AGE, HEIGHT, and WHICH CITY you live in.
STEP 4: Please email your child’s audition to WDT.PercyJacksonOpenCall@disney.com as either a .mov or .mp4 file. You can attach the file directly to your email submission (if the file is small enough). If it is too large to attach to your email, you can send via WeTransfer, Hightail or another secure format. Please include your child’s name in the filename for both (i.e. JohnDoeSlate.mp4 , JohnDoeScene1.mp4).
It is free to submit. This is not an offer for, nor guarantee, of employment. Due to the large volume of submissions, we will not be able to acknowledge everyone.”
The only names tied to the Percy Jackson project at the moment are creators Becky and Rick Riordan. It is currently unknown when the series will begin filming or when it will premiere on Disney+, but with castings underway filming should begin very soon!
