Percy Jackson, What If...? season 2, and more new to TV this week
18.12.2023 - 19:34 / polygon.com / Hayley Atwell / Jeffrey Wright / Percy Jackson
If you’re looking for new TV this week, you’ll probably want to head to Disney Plus — not officially, but that’s where you’ll find a lot of the big new releases in the lead-up to Christmas Eve this week (and, not for nothing, a lot of the family-friendly content for being home for the holidays too). There you’ll find familiar tentpoles like the MCU’s What If...? season 2 and the new Percy Jackson and the Olympians. But you’ll also find Dragons of Wonderhatch, a new world with a partially animated schtick.
Of course, those aren’t the only new TV shows this week, nor are they even all the shows you might be trying to catch up on; there’s a lot of good TV this year! But it’s a good place to start — at least, you know, for this week.
Here’s all the best TV premieres and finales happening this week:

We’re doing Percy Jackson again — but now he’s on TV. Based on the book series by Rick Riordan (and trying to be more like those books than the movie series was), Percy Jackson and the Olympians follows Percy (Walker Scobell) after he finds out he’s actually the son of a Greek god, making him a demigod, and that Zeus suspects he stole a lightning bolt.

Release date: Dec. 22, with one episode a day for nine days
Director: Bryan Andrews
Cast: Jeffrey Wright, Hayley Atwell, Josh Keaton, Lake Bell, and more
What If… ? season 2 is here to once again explore — well, exactly what the title says. The Watcher (Jeffrey Wright) will take us through nine new alternate MCU realities. While What If...? plots aren’t exactly known, this season will bring back some faves, like Nebula, Hela, and Happy Hogan, in addition to revisiting the world of the 1602 comic.
Genre: Fantasy
Release date: Dec. 20, with two episodes
Showrunner/creator: Kentaro Hagiwara
Cast: Sena Nakajima, Daiken Okudaira, Mackenyu, and more
