Ryan Reynolds‘ The Adam Project introduced Walker Scobell as little Adam, who left the world in awe with his brilliant performance. He shocked the Canadian actor with his sense of humor and his utmost dedication to Deadpool as well. After getting a huge debut in one of Netflix’s most expensive movies, Scobell is coming back to the screens in the Percy Jackson adaptation. Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg for Disney+, the upcoming series is already making headlines for various reasons.

One of the reasons is the money that is spent on the production of the series. Ahead of the grand release of the series, the per-episode budget of the series shows how much the producers believe in the adaptation as well.

How much money did they spend on the production of the Percy Jackson series?

To translate an already fan-favorite story into a television series is an extremely challenging task. However, Disney+ is going to bring Percy Jackson to life on the 20th of December, 2023. Amidst the huge hype around the release of the series, Variety noted that the production house spent around $12M and $15M per episode. It is almost close to the money spent on The Mandalorian. Surprisingly, this upcoming series might mark one of the most expensive productions that Scobell has worked on until now.

His first film, The Adam Project, had an overall budget of $116 million. With a budget in the double-digit millions per episode, the Percy Jackson series would outperform the Netflix movie in terms of economic status. However, the Shawn Levy film received praise for the performances of the actors, especially Scobell’s debut. Therefore, the only challenge he has is to impress fans one more time with his amazing skills.
