When Does Percy Jackson Season 2 Come Out?
Mark your calendars! Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 will premiere on Disney+ on December 10, 2025. The release date was officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con in July 2025, sending waves of excitement through the fandom. The release comes exactly two years after the premiere of the first season, continuing the holiday tradition for Percy Jackson fans.
Production for the second season began in August 2024 in Vancouver, British Columbia, and wrapped up in early February 2025. Author and executive producer Rick Riordan has been heavily involved in the production, ensuring the series stays true to the spirit of the books. In a blog post during filming, Riordan expressed his excitement for the upcoming season:
“I’m confident this season will be even better, bigger, funnier, faster and wilder than season one. It’s truly exciting watching it all come together!”
What is the Plot of Percy Jackson Season 2?
Season 2 will adapt The Sea of Monsters, the second book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. The official synopsis reveals that Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood a year after the events of The Lightning Thief to find his world turned upside down. Thalia’s tree, the magical barrier that protects the camp, has been poisoned, leaving the demigods vulnerable to attack. To save their home, Percy and his friends must embark on a perilous journey into the Sea of Monsters—what we mortals call the Bermuda Triangle—to find the mythical Golden Fleece, the only thing that can heal the tree.
But that’s not all. Grover is missing, captured by the Cyclops Polyphemus, and Percy discovers he has a half-brother, a Cyclops named Tyson. The new season will explore Percy’s evolving relationships with Annabeth and Grover, the challenges of having a monstrous sibling, and the ever-present threat of the Titan Kronos, who is still plotting his return.
Who is in the Cast of Percy Jackson Season 2?
The beloved main trio is back, with Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood. But they’ll be joined by a host of new faces as the world of Percy Jackson expands.
New Cast Members:
- Daniel Diemer (The Half of It) as Tyson, Percy’s Cyclops half-brother.
- Tamara Smart (Artemis Fowl) as Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus.
