‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Finds Its Artemis and Zoë Nightshade
Percy Jackson and the Olympians has found its Artemis and Zoë Nightshade! Dafne Keen is set to play Artemis, while Saara Chaudry is set to play her lieutenant, Zoë Nightshade.
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting, “Keen’s Artemis ‘prefers the freedom of the outdoors to the politics and formality of Olympus,’ per a character description. ‘Her immortal hunters are her constant companions, and she has little contact with mortals, making her a bit out of touch with modern human culture. She is regal and an honorable fighter who will stand up to grave challenges.’
Zoë Nightshade, to be played by Chaudry, is the ‘loyal lieutenant to Artemis and first among the immortal hunters. She has been at Artemis’ side for more than 2,000 years. She is a strong warrior and sometimes overly serious in ways that amuse the demigods, but she is also a crucial quest member, willing to strive and sacrifice for the good of all.’”
Based on the third book in Rick Riordan’s hit series, The Titan’s Curse, production on the third season is currently underway in Vancouver. The show’s second season will premiere on Disney+ on December 10.
I am loving everything about this casting!
