10 TV Shows To Watch If You Like Percy Jackson And The Olympians

Ancient myths, young heroes, and adventures come together in these fantasy and sci-fi shows, offering new worlds for fans of Percy Jackson And The Olympians.

10 TV Shows To Watch If You Like Percy Jackson And The Olympians

For fans of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, there are several TV shows that capture the same sense of adventure, Greek mythology, and coming-of-age themes. One such show is Blood of Zeus. While the two series differ in tone, they both revolve around demigod sons of Olympian gods. Heron, the protagonist of Blood of Zeus, is on a quest to save humanity from demons, much like Percy Jackson in his battles against monsters.

However, Blood of Zeus includes darker interpretations of Greek mythology figures, making it a better fit for older viewers. Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender might also appreciate Merlin, a fantasy series centered around the wizard Merlin's journey as he protects the future of magic in Camelot. Despite not always adhering to Arthurian legends, Merlin offers a relatable story with compelling characters and ambitious visual effects, echoing the human drama found in Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
