The Greek demigods are gearing up for their next adventure! Production is officially underway for Season 2 of Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians, adapted from Rick Riordan’s second novel The Sea of Monsters. Fans can expect new layers of mythological complexity, awe-inspiring spectacles, and a slew of fan-favorite characters storming onto screens.
Sources at production company 20th Television confirm cameras began rolling this week on the season’s opening scenes, described by executive producer Becky Riordan as “perfect.” Director James Bobin expressed his elation to embark on the new quest via social media. With promises of epic sequences and beloved storylines like Percy’s discovery of his cyclops half-brother Tyson, enthusiasm is sky-high.
Speaking exclusively to this publication at San Diego Comic-Con, actor Daniel Diemer expressed his joy at portraying Tyson. “I cant wait for fans to see our take on this pivotal character,” said Diemer. His casting has electrified the passionate fanbase. Speculation also swirls around a potential cameo from Mark Hamill as the sinister new camp director Tantalus, a role he was originally slated for.
From high-stakes chariot races to mysterious monsters of the deep, production values are being raised to fantastical new levels. Sources say filming will take fans all over to realize the globe-trotting scope of Riordan’s realm.
Star Walker Scobell is primed to continue charming audiences as the relatable yet mighty Percy. Season 1 became an instant hit, drawing over 13 million households within its first week to make waves for Disney+.
As enthusiasm surges on both sides of the camera, these demigods are primed for another adventuresome outing. Fans can expect the utmost care and creativity to bring Riordan’s vision to life once more. Though an official release date is TBD, it seems this second season may arrive by early 2024 to keep viewers mystically charged.
