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+.
Percy Jackson season 2 will introduce new characters like Tyson, Percy's cyclops half-brother, who becomes a close ally to Percy at Camp Half-Blood. Blackjack, the loyal and entertaining pegasus, accompanies Percy throughout the series, providing transportation and friendship.
Is Percy Jackson and the Olympians coming back for season 2? The gods, or rather the mouse, have spoken! Percy Jackson and the Olympians will be coming back for season 2, Disney+ announced on February 7, 2024.
Sally Jackson's fate in the TV show suggests she is killed by the Minotaur, but the books reveal that she is actually alive and in the Underworld with Hades. Hades takes Sally in order to use her as a bargaining chip to retrieve his stolen Helm of Darkness, which he believes Percy stole along with Zeus' Master Bolt.
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.
Hera, known as Juno to the Romans, has switched him with the Greek hero Percy Jackson, who is now at the Roman camp with no memory of his previous life. Camp Half-Blood and Camp Jupiter have had a ruthless rivalry, and whenever they came into contact, things never ended well.
The Percy Jackson movies brought Rick Riordan's best-selling children's books to life, but Disney opted not to produce Percy Jackson 3, and instead, created a TV series adapting the novels several years later.
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.
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.
Percy pulled Annabeth close and kissed her... long enough for it to get really awkward for Piper, though she said nothing. She thought about the old rule of Aphrodite's cabin: that to be recognized as a daughter of the love goddess, you had to break someone's heart.
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. She was born July 12, 1993.
Shortly after Thalia came across another demigod, Luke Castellan, a son of Hermes. They became friends and joined forces to fight the monsters that attacked them. They have romantic feelings for each other.
After Percy's return and her rescue, Sally finally has enough of Gabe's abuse, kills him with Medusa's Head, and sells his petrified corpse as a sculpture of her design, earning her enough money for her and her son to start a new life.
Percy wins, gives the helm to the Furies to return to the Underworld, and travels back to New York with the bolt in time to prevent a war. At Olympus, Percy meets his father face to face. Poseidon seems distant and sad, but says he is proud of his son.
Ariana Greenblatt is reportedly in talks to portray Silena Beauregard in Season 2 of #PercyJacksonandTheOlympians. The character will appear in 2 episodes of Season 2 with a bigger role in latter seasons. (Source: deadline.com/2024/02/percy-…)
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.
It's been a long time coming but finally we've met Poseidon in Percy Jackson and the Olympians! Actor Toby Stephens has taken on the role of Percy's father in the show, with episode 7 giving us a flashback to his and Sally Jackson's (Virginia Kull) relationship all those years ago.
