The (Greek) gods must be smiling down at us, because Disney+'sPercy Jackson and the Olympianshas been renewed for a second season. The announcement was expected, since the latest adaptation of Rick Riordan's beloved novels is widely popular and has recorded more than 10 million hours streamed, according to Disney+. Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries), and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) sure went through a lot in Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1, but their adventures have only just begun.
Disney+ shared the news of the renewal on Feb. 7 and confirmed that Season 2 will be based on Riordan's second book in his Percy Jackson series: The Sea of Monsters. "I can't wait to bring the next season of Percy Jackson to Disney+! Raise anchors. Hoist the mainsail. All hands on deck, demigods," the author said in a press release. "We're heading for the Sea of Monsters!" The network also said that Scobell, Chase, and Underwood are set to return in their roles. Rick and Becky Riordan are set to continue as executive producers.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 ended with the betrayal we were all waiting for. In the last moments of the finale, Luke Castellan (Charlie Bushnell) reveals to Percy that he has been the lightning thief all along. Kronos has opened his eyes to the truth, Luke says, and he now believes the gods are his enemies. Unfortunately for him, Percy refuses to join his side, and the two former pals fight each other. Luke is just about to stab Percy when Annabeth — who heard their entire conversation — intervenes, and Luke, the son of Hermes, escapes.
It'll be a long while before Percy and the demigods return to our screens. But TV Guide will be tracking all the announcements about Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 latest news
After Percy Jackson and the Olympians was renewed for a second season, Riordan took to Threads to share an update about production. "A good first day yesterday in the PJO season two writers' room!" he wrote. "As I mentioned, we had a mini-room going before the WGA strike to start the scripts, on the assumption we'd get a green light, so we aren't starting from zero this week."
Riordan added, "The scripts we have so far are in excellent shape. Can't wait to see more of Luke, Clarisse, Mr. D is [sic] S2. And of course Tyson! It was great to see our writing team again. Going back in today!"
Asked about the approach the producers will take in adapting the second book, co-creator and executive producer Jonathan E. Steinbergsaid the recipe will stay the same. "The goal is to to take the book and find its soul," Steinberg said at the 2024 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour in February.
Steinberg was also asked about the timeline for the next installment, including when filming begins. "The easy but true answer is, as soon as possible," Steinberg said, noting that Season 2 was only just greenlit.
Scobell is set to return as Percy Jackson, Jeffries as Annabeth, and Simhadri as Grover. FromRiordan's post,we're also expecting to see Bushnell as Luke, Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse, and Jason Mantzoukas as Mr. D.
In the first season, Lance Reddickstarred as Zeus, the king of Olympus. Reddick passed away in March 2023, before the series launched on Disney+. "With Lance, we recently got a text from his wife who said how proud he would've been of seeing it," executive producer Dan Shotz said in February at the 2024 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour. He and Steinberg were asked about the casting of Zeus in the second season. "I don't think anybody is there yet," Steinberg said.
At the press tour, the cast also shared their dream casting for iconic characters from the books. "We all talk about this all the time," Scobell said. "We call [Jonathan and Dan] sometimes and tell them." The actor said he recently watched The Hunger Games. "I thought Sam Claflin would be a cool Apollo," he shared. Meanwhile, Simhadri said that he and Scobell are "huge fans of God of War" and would love for Christopher Judge to play Atlas.
Where to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 is available to stream on Disney+.
“When I know more about which actors have been chosen for what parts, I will let you know, but that is still quite a ways away,” he revealed. Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri told TV Insider that they're excited for the new characters in Season 2, including Thalia, Zeus' “forbidden child,” and the cyclops, Tyson.
Unable to rescue his mother at first, Percy defeats the Minotaur and retreats to Camp Half-Blood until he is allowed to go on his own quest with Grover and Annabeth Chase, a daughter of Athena. After ten days, Percy rescues Sally by returning the Helm of Darkness to Hades in the Underworld after a fight with Ares.
Percy Jackson 3 didn't happen, but the Disney+ TV show gives Riordan's story another chance at a proper adaptation. The author's heavy involvement as an executive producer means the show doesn't make unnecessary changes to the source material, especially if they don't make sense for the story or characters.
All hands on deck, demigods. We're heading for the Sea of Monsters!” It's a lovely way to confirm that season two of Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been greenlit by Disney Plus, and Riordan for one can't wait for you to see it.
Thalia was 12 when she sacrificed herself for her two friends to get to Camp Half-Blood and was later turned to a pine tree by Zeus. In the Sea of Monsters book, she is revived by the Golden Fleece and years have passed. She is fifteen years old, almost 16.
Summary. Walker Scobell takes on the role of 12-year-old Percy Jackson in the Disney+ adaptation of Rick Riordan's book series, but he shares the role with a younger actor for flashbacks to Percy's elementary school years.
This is the chapter where Annabeth first kissed Percy, right before he was blasted to Calypso's island. Enjoy! I had my invisible cap on, and Percy was no where to be seen.
Yes, Annabeth is married to Percy Jackson, and has three kids: Cast, Ethan, and Zoe. How was Annabeth Chase born? Annabeth Chase is the half-blood daughter of the goddess Athena and the mortal man Frederick Chase.
In The Hidden Oracle, Sally is seven months pregnant with Paul's child, and later gives birth to Estelle in The Tower of Nero, making her Percy's half-sister. Percy has a half-brother named Tyson, who is a cyclops.
It was released on September 26, 2023 by Disney Hyperion. It is the sixth novel of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series, and serves as a follow-up to the original five books, taking place after the events of the series The Heroes of Olympus but before the series The Trials of Apollo.
Percy's birthday is August 18th, towards the end of summer. In the first book, it's the beginning of summer and Percy is 12. In the second book, it is also the beginning of summer and Percy is 13. In the third book, it is winter break and Percy is 14.
As they reached Half-Blood Hill, Thalia sent Luke, Grover, and Annabeth over the boundary line while she faced the monsters. She sacrificed her life for her friends, but her father Zeus took pity on her and turned her into a pine tree to preserve her, keeping the rest of the camp safe.
Pan disappeared 2,000 years ago due to humans' destruction of his wild kingdoms. Satyrs like Grover have been searching for him ever since, believing he is still alive. Grover eventually finds Pan in the fourth book, but the god is on the brink of death. Pan entrusts Grover to carry on his message before he fades away.
This book chronicles the adventures of thirteen-year-old demigod Percy Jackson as he and his friends rescue his satyr friend Grover from the Cyclops Polyphemus and save Camp Half-Blood from a Titan's attack by bringing the Golden Fleece to cure Thalia's poisoned pine tree.
Silena Beauregard is another demigod camper to expect in Percy Jackson season 2. She's the daughter of Aphrodite, and she's also Charles Beckendorf's girlfriend.
The Percy Jackson actor has been changed because the latest Disney Plus series reboots the franchise. It has no connection to Fox's previous two movies. The author of the Percy Jackson books, Rick Riordan is also involved with the development of the new Disney Plus live-action series.
Summary. The creative team of Percy Jackson and The Olympians is not ready to recast the role of Zeus following the death of actor Lance Reddick. Executive producer Jon Steinberg admits there is denial and a sense of gratitude for Reddick's work in crafting the character.
Walker Scobell plays Percy Jackson, the titular hero of the series and son of Poseidon. Fans first met the new Percy Jackson in April 2022, when Riordan announced on his website that Walker Scobell had been cast in the role.
