The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians was met with a warm reception from viewers, so it’s no surprise that Disney has quickly announced a second season. The production has already started, and we are getting more information about which characters from Rick Riordan’s universe will appear in the new episodes.

In the first season, Percy learns that he’s a demigod and begins to discover his divine powers. Unfortunately, the supreme god Zeus accused the boy of stealing his lightning bolt – the Master Bolt, the source of his power. Percy teamed up with his friends, Grover and Annabeth, and set to find the missing artefact, which required him to delve into the extraordinary world of gods, monsters, and fantastic creatures.

Here’s our guide on everything we know so far about the next installment of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 release date

According to information revealed by Disney at D23 2024, the show’s second season will debut in 2025.

In the United States, you can get an ad-supported Disney+ subscription for $7.99 / £4.99 per month. The ad-supported package costs $13.99 / £7.99 per month.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 plot

The Disney show is an adaptation of a series of young adult novels by Rick Riordan. Season 1 was based on the first volume, titled The Lightning Thief. Season 2 will be based on the second book, The Sea of Monsters.

After the events in the previous novel, Percy has had a peaceful year at Meriwether College Prep. But the novel opens as things are starting to change. Not only does he clash with man-eating giants on the last day of school, but Annabeth returns to Camp Half-Blood with alarming news. It soon becomes apparent that the magical barrier protecting the camp from the rest of the world has been destroyed. Half-gods and other beings begin to face real danger from a mysterious enemy.

In the second season, Percy will also set off to find Grover, who disappeared during his own mission.

The official description for the series states:

Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

The Percy Jackson book series consists of six volumes:

The Lightning Thief

The Sea of Monsters

The Titan’s Curse

The Battle of the Labyrinth

The Last Olympian

It means there’s enough material for several seasons, providing Disney renews the show after the second installment airs.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 cast

We expect most of the actors to reprise their roles in the second season:

Walker Scobell – Percy Jackson

Leah Sava Jeffries – Annabeth Chase

Aryan Simhadri – Grover Underwood

Lin-Manuel Miranda – Hermes

Megan Mullally – Alectoaka aka Mrs Dodds

Toby Stephens – Poseidon

Virginia Kull – Sally Jackson

Jason Mantzoukas – Dionysus aka Mr. D

Jay Duplass – Hades

Glynn Turman – Chiron aka Mr. Brunner

Adam Copeland – Ares

Charlie Bushnell – Luke Castellan

Dior Goodjohn – Clarisse La Rue

Olivea Morton – Nancy Bobofit

Suzanne Cryer – Echidna

Timm Sharp Gabe – Ugliano

Timothy Omundson – Hephaestus

Unfortunately, we won’t see Lance Reddick, who played the role of Zeus, in season 2. He passed away shortly after the end of shooting for season 1, so his role will most likely be taken on by another actor.

Daniel Diemer (Under the Bridge) has joined the cast as Tyson, a Cyclops. The one-eyed boy is Percy’s half-brother, a son of Poseidon and a nymph. After living on New York’s streets for several years, he is taken in by Meriwether College Prep, where he meets Percy.

In season 2, we will also see the Gray Sisters – Tempest, Anger and Wasp – ancient, mysterious women who share among them one eye and one tooth. They also somehow run a cab company that serves the extraordinary inhabitants of Percy Jackson’s universe.

Kristen Schaal (What We Do in the Shadows) will star as Tempest, Sandra Bernhard (American Horror Story: NYC) will portray Anger, and Margaret Cho (The Flight Attendant) will play Wasp.

Recent additions to the cast include also Timothy Simons (Veep) as Tantalus. According to the show’s creators:

[He is] sardonic, manipulative, openly hostile, and rarely in a good mood… seeing as he is cursed with eternal hunger and thirst, but can never eat or drink. Tantalus has been released from imprisonment in the Underworld to become the interim Activities Director at Camp Half-Blood, having replaced Chiron (Glynn Turman) who is under suspicion of having ties to Kronos.
