It was no surprise when Percy Jackson and the Olympians was renewed for a second season in early 2024—the Disney+ series was a hit when it premiered back in 2023, building on the popularity of Rick Riordan‘s fantasy-adventure novel series. Then—earlier this year, before season two even arrived—it was renewed for a third installment. That’s a huge boost of confidence for all involved, and the excitement came through in the show’s San Diego Comic-Con panel, held in the cavernous Hall H.
Here’s Disney’s description of season two: “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.”
That makes sense, since season two arrives on December 10, and will adapt The Sea of Monsters, the second book in Riordan’s series.
On hand for the panel were the stars of the show (Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, and Daniel Diemer), plus executive producers Jon Steinberg, Craig Silverstein, and Dan Shotz.
