Synopsis: A labor of love that began in creator Rachel Smythe’s basement, Lore Olympus has become a global storytelling force—translated into seven languages, spawning three New York Times bestsellers, and racking up nearly 2 billion reads as the #1 Webtoon worldwide. Backed by a fiercely devoted fandom and acclaimed for its style and substance, the series has won two Eisner Awards, the Harvey Award, and the Goodreads Choice Award, with nods from the Hugo and Ringo Awards. Lore Olympus isn’t just a hit—it’s a movement.

Now, in a visionary partnership between Webtoons and The Jim Henson Company, the series comes to life as a prime-time animated event—Henson’s next fantasy romance in the spirit of Labyrinth. Visually bold, emotionally charged, and unmistakably modern, this adaptation expands the world of Lore Olympus for a global audience.

When Persephone, the naïve Goddess of Spring, steps into the seductive chaos of Olympus, she collides with scandal, secrets—and Hades, the brooding yet surprisingly gentle God of the Underworld. As she navigates divine betrayals and power plays with gods like Artemis, Apollo, and Hera, Persephone uncovers a buried truth—and her destiny to rise as Queen of the Underworld and dismantle Olympus’s golden-boy patriarchy.

She’s not just here to bloom—she’s here to burn it down. Because being the Goddess of Spring? That was just her origin story.

With juicy drama, sharp wit, and a swoon-worthy slow-burn romance, Lore Olympus is where myth gets a makeover—and the gods learn exactly what happens when they mess with the wrong girl.
