The heroes of Camp Half-Blood return for another adventure in ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Season 2, premiering December 10 on Disney+. Based on Rick Riordan’s best-selling The Sea of Monsters, the new season follows Percy, Annabeth, and Grover as they set out on a dangerous journey to find the mythical Golden Fleece and save their home from destruction. Walker Scobell returns as Percy Jackson, alongside Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood, and Daniel Diemer as Tyson, Percy’s cyclops half-brother. Lin-Manuel Miranda, Virginia Kull, and Toby Stephens reprise their roles from the first season. Developed by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, the series expands the world of Greek mythology with new quests, deeper character arcs, and higher stakes, with Dan Shotz and James Bobin among the executive producers.
After a cross-country adventure in Season 1, the second season takes Percy and his friends on a voyage inspired by The Sea of Monsters, the second book in Riordan’s beloved series. The newly released trailer shows Percy, Annabeth, and Clarisse setting sail into the Bermuda Triangle, which the demigods call the Sea of Monsters. Their mission is to find the legendary Golden Fleece, the only thing that can restore Camp Half-Blood’s magical borders after a mysterious attack leaves it vulnerable. At the same time, Percy’s best friend Grover is in danger, and rescuing him becomes a key part of the quest.
Family, Friendship, and New Faces Shape the Next Chapter of Percy’s Journey
The new footage also highlights Tyson, Percy’s cyclops half-brother, played by Daniel Diemer. His introduction brings a mix of humor and heart as Percy learns to accept him despite their differences. Fans also catch a quick glimpse of Thalia, played by Tamara Smart, whose return adds another layer to the story’s growing mythology.
Season 2 looks bigger in scale, with more action sequences, creatures, and magic than before. The chariot race at Camp Half-Blood, a fan-favorite moment from the book, appears in the trailer and promises to be one of the season’s standout scenes. The ocean-based setting allows the show to explore new visual possibilities, from sea battles to mythological monsters that rise from the depths.
A Darker Quest Awaits as Percy Faces New Threats to Olympus
The logline for the new season reveals that Percy’s mission is not just about saving the camp but also preventing Luke and the Titan Kronos from executing their plan to destroy Olympus. This builds on the darker undertones from Season 1 while maintaining the humor and camaraderie that made the show resonate with audiences of all ages.
Behind the scenes, Percy Jackson and the Olympians continues to blend the heart of Riordan’s novels with modern television storytelling. Director James Bobin, who helmed the first two episodes, brings a cinematic energy to the series, while the production team, led by The Gotham Group, ensures that the show’s mythology and visuals remain faithful to the source material.
