Here’s everything we know about the second season.

Here’s the official description for the new season: “Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down.

Which Sea of Monsters chapters get episode titles in Percy Jackson Season 2?

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters has 20 chapters total, but Season 2 only has eight episodes. After the two-episode premiere, one episode will be released weekly. Here’s the episode list with titles and when to expect them on Disney+.

Is there a Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 trailer?

Yes! Watch the action-packed trailer in full at the top of the page.

The series revealed a darker tone shift in the Season 2 trailer, which shows the beloved demigods in more peril than ever before as they embark on a quest to save Grover (Aryan Simhadri) and restore Thalia’s (Tamara Smart) tree that the treacherous Luke (Charlie Bushnell) poisons. An epic battle on the Sea of Monsters takes place in the middle of a storm, and Percy (Walker Scobell) and Luke swordfight on a hazy battlefield. The trailer also gives the first look at Smart as Thalia, returning characters such as Sally (Virginia Kull), Poseidon (Toby Stephens), Ares (Adam Copeland), and Hermes (Lin-Manuel Miranda), and some iconic book scenes.

The trailer begins with Percy talking about his prophetic dreams. Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) asks if he had the dream about Camp Half-Blood being in trouble. The camp then appears to be under attack from nefarious forces, and Percy and Annabeth witness Luke stabbing Thalia’s tree with a poisoned blade.

The trailer also shows a closer look at Daniel Diemer‘s cyclops, Tyson (Percy’s half-brother), Tantalus (Timothy Simons), the Gray Sisters (Kristen Schaal, Margaret Cho, and Sandra Bernhard), and Rosemarie DeWitt as Circe, as well as Clarisse (Dior Goodjohn), who plays a major role in that Sea of Monsters battle.

Has Percy Jackson and the Olympians been renewed for Season 3?

Disney+ renewed Percy Jackson and the Olympians for Season 3 back in March when it announced Season 2’s December 2025 premiere. Season 2 wrapped filming in February, and Season 3 is currently filming.

The third season will be based on The Titan’s Curse, the third installment of Riordan’s bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, published by Disney Hyperion. Titan’s Curse and the subsequent two books have never before been adapted on-screen. Season 2 is based on The Sea of Monsters sequel novel. The Lightning Thief and Sea of Monsters both have film adaptations from the early 2010s.

“From the moment Percy Jackson and the Olympians debuted, it was clear this series had struck a chord with fans of all ages,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television. “With Season 2 set to premiere this December, we’re thrilled to announce that Percy’s journey will continue with a third season. Huge thanks to our incredible cast and creative team, our partners at 20th Television, and our visionary and talented producers who continue to bring Rick Riordan’s world to life with such depth and imagination.”

“We’re so grateful to be continuing the story of Percy Jackson on Disney+. This third season will be new territory for the screen, bringing fan favorites like the Hunters of Artemis and Nico di Angelo to life for the first time,” said Riordan. “It’s a huge sign of commitment from Disney, and speaks volumes about the enthusiasm with which the fandom has embraced the TV show. Thank you, demigods worldwide!”

Who’s replacing Lance Reddick as Zeus in Percy Jackson?

The series found its new Zeus in Courtney B. Vance in 2024. The two-time Emmy-winning actor replaces Lance Reddick as the sky god following The Wire alum’s death in March 2023.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to join the extraordinary cast of Percy Jackson and the Olympians!” Vance said in a statement on Monday, November 25. “There are few moments in an actor’s career when you can honestly say that you’re about to board a series that has such a devoted fan base filled with characters beloved around the world and is based on a wildly successful book series. I know that stepping into this role of Zeus will be a memorable experience, and I’ll be giving my brother, Lance Reddick, who left us way too soon, a heavenly hug.”

Who is in the Percy Jackson Season 2 cast?

Among the new faces joining Season 2 are singer and Oscar-nominee Andra Day, who will play the goddess Athena, Annabeth’s mother.

Percy Jackson announced in September that Smart will play Thalia in Season 2, a major book character who is mentioned in The Lightning Thief but plays a bigger role in book two, Sea of Monsters. Thalia is the demigod daughter of Zeus, who made her last stand to protect her friends at the edge of Camp Half-Blood. After she died saving Luke and Annabeth just outside the protective magical shield surrounding Camp Half-Blood, Zeus transformed her into a tree that anchors the force field that protects the camp. Tough and prickly, with a rebel/punk sensibility, Thalia is fiercely loyal to her friends and distrustful of her father’s world.

Smart has a special connection to the late Reddick, who played Zeus in Season 1. She has already played Reddick’s onscreen daughter before in Resident Evil, in which she played young Jade Wesker opposite Reddick’s Al Wesker. She’ll now costar alongside Vance as onscreen father and daughter, should the characters meet onscreen. Smart addressed the poignant connection in a statement when her casting was announced on September 23.

“I’m so grateful and excited to be joining the cast of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It’s so close to my heart. Lance Reddick and I always spoke about working together again, so it’s that much more special and important to me to play his daughter once more as Thalia, and to keep his memory alive,” Smart said. “I feel his presence all around me and strive to make him proud on this exciting journey.”

The 19-year-old actor also paid tribute to Reddick on Instagram on September 23 by sharing a photo of them together captioned, “For you.” (See the Percy Jackson team’s comments about Reddick’s performance as Zeus here.)

Percy Jackson stars Scobell, Jeffries, and Simhadri as Percy, Annabeth, and Grover. Percy’s parents, Poseidon and Sally Jackson, are played by Stephens and Kull. Additional returning costars are Glynn Turman as Chiron and Jason Mantzoukas as Mr. D (only the former is seen in the trailer above).

Additional new characters this season are Simons’ Tantalus, a Greek demigod king, in a recurring guest star role in Season 2. Tantalus is a son of Zeus from Riordan’s books (and, of course, Greek mythology) who first appears in the Sea of Monsters book. The character description reveals that he’s taking Chiron’s (Turman) job at Camp Half-Blood in the new season. Tantalus is described as “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.”

The character description continues: “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.”

Diemer plays Tyson, “a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world. Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home.”

Schaal, Cho, and Bernhard play the Gray Sisters, a mythological trio of women from Riordan’s books who share one eye and one tooth and operate a “taxi firm” in New York City. Bernhard is Anger, Schaal is Tempest, and Cho is Wasp. Details about the characters were shared during the D23 panel last year.

Bernhard’s Anger handles collecting cab fare from heroes who call upon the taxi service. She impatiently awaits her turn with the shared eye currently being used by Tempest. She uses it to peer at the heroes, see into their futures, and poke fun at aspects of their social lives like crushes. Wasp drives the Gray Sisters Taxi and takes the heroes on a hair-raising ride to Camp Half-Blood. She may be blind most of the time, but she’s seen a lot of things in her time.
