Fans of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians should tighten their seatbelts as the new trailer for the second season scheduled to premiere December 10 has been released.
The second season which adapts Rick Riordan’s second book of same title Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Sea of Monsters, sees Percy played by Walker Scobell, Annabeth (Leah Jeffries) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) embark in an adventure where they battle seas monsters when Grover suddenly goes missing and Camp Half Blood is under siege from the forces of Kronos.
The trailer is narrated by Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea and Percy’s father (Toby Stephens in Season 1), who urges him to brace himself for the battle ahead.
Walker, Jeffries and Simhadri are joined by new cast members – Rosemarie Dewitt as C.C – a New Age-esque guru who Percy and his crew come across on their quest for the golden fleece that would restore order to Camp Half Blood, Aleks Paunovic as the one-eyed Cyclops, Polyphemus who guards the coveted golden fleece, Kevin Chacon as another son of Hermes, and Beatrice Kitsos as Alison Sims – a Camp Half Blood ‘graduate’ who lives in the human world, but is a true believer of the world Kronos is promising, and teams with Luke.
Recuring cast from the first season are Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan, Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse La Rue, Tamara Smart as Thalia Grace, Jason Mantzoukas as Dionysus, Toby Stephens as Poseidon, and Nick Boraine as Kronos.
An important factor in the Percy Jackson series is the ability of audience just as the books’ readers to see the characters grow before their eyes, and the two-year wait between the seasons 1 and 2 is not ideal.
However, producers of show Disney+ and its creators – author of the Percy Jackson and the Olympian book series Rick Riordan, and Jonathan E. Steinberg, are already addressing that. In fact, season 3 focused on the third book Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Titan’s Curse has begun filming in July and has seen Levi Chrisopulus and Olive Abercrombie join the production.
If this momentum keeps up, a renewal could for season 4 could be issued as early as alongside the release of Season 2 in December 2025, which will see the series easily assert itself as an annual release for Disney+ with December slot in their streaming schedule.
