A series and two films that adapt the same two books, and only one of them has the author's blessing.

Where to start with Percy Jackson

There are two adaptations and they are not connected. The films and the series both start from book one, so watching the films first is not a head start, it is the same story told twice by different people.

  1. 1
    Percy Jackson and the Olympians, season 1 Percy Jackson and the Olympians

    Eight episodes adapting the first novel, with Rick Riordan writing and producing, which is the opposite of how the films were made. Nothing before it.

  2. 2
    Percy Jackson and the Olympians, season 2 Percy Jackson and the Olympians

    Eight more, adapting the second novel, finished in January 2026. It picks up directly and keeps the one-book-per-season pattern.

  3. 3
    Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief

    Only if you are curious. It ages the characters up several years, drops setup the later books need, and its sequel already contradicts the novels.

Then what? The third season adapts The Titan's Curse and starts on 20 November 2026; Disney has not said how many episodes. The two films are a closed pair that stopped in 2013 and connect to nothing. If you take them at all, take them after the series rather than before it.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
