Percy Jackson and the Olympians co-showrunner Dan Shotz opened up about the “incredible experience” of working with the late Lance Reddick, who passed away last March 13.During a recent interview with Screen Rant, Shotz teased what Percy Jackson fans can expect from Reddick’s highly-anticipated appearance as Zeus. The executive producer recalled how the John Wick actor was able to embody the Greek god’s powerful presence, which definitely intimated the show’s main trio, including Walker Scobell’s Percy, Leah Sava Jeffries’ Annabeth, and Aryan Simhadri’s Grover. “It was an incredible experience with him,” Shotz shared. “We miss him dearly, and I think the thing that I look back most [on] is his connection to the kids. Showing up as his Zeus, the kids were intimidated. Not only because it’s Lance Reddick, but also this character that’s been built up all season; seeing him and how powerful he is.”Before his death, Shotz confirmed that Reddick expressed to him how incredibly proud he was of being a part of the Disney+ series. “Even though it was only a couple of days, he felt so connected to the show, and I stayed in touch with him for a lot after we shot,” the showrunner revealed. “I actually spoke to him a couple of days before he passed, and he just was so proud of being a part of this and wanted it to be right, and I’m so honored and grateful that one of his last iconic roles will be Zeus.”
