Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2: Premiere Date, Trailer, Cast, and Everything to Know

Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries), and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) survived the otherworldly events of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1, but their adventures have only just begun. Disney+ has renewed Percy Jackson and the Olympians not just for a second season, but for a third one — news that came months ahead of its Season 2 release.

Season 2, premiering in December, will be based on Rick Riordan’s second book in his Percy Jackson & the Olympians 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.

Scobell, Chase, and Underwood are set to return in their roles, while Riordan and his wife, Becky Riordan, are continuing 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.

Here’s everything we know about Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2.

Season 2, alongside Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth and Aryan Simhadri as Grover.

When Riordan announced in February 2024 that the writers’ room had returned to work, he confirmed that three other characters would return: Luke, played by Charlie Bushnell; Clarisse, played by Dior Goodjohn; and Dionysus, aka Mr. D, played by Jason Mantzoukas.

Daniel Diemer is joining the series as Percy’s half-brother, Tyson the Cyclops.

Sandra Bernhard, Kristen Schaal, and Margaret Cho are also joining the Season 2 cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter. They’re set to play the Gray Sisters, who “run a taxi service (also known as the Chariot of Damnation) and share one eye and one tooth between them.” Bernhard is set to play Anger, Schaal to play Tempest, and Cho to play Wasp.

Courtney B. Vance will be taking over the role of Zeus, the king of Olympus, from the late Lance Reddick. Variety reported Vance’s casting in November 2024. Vance said in a statement, “I know that stepping into this role of Zeus will be a memorable experience and I’ll be giving my brother, Lance Reddick, who left us way too soon, a heavenly hug.”

Reddick, who played the role of Zeus in the first season, 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 at the 2024 Winter Television Critics Association Press Tour.

Also 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.
