Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 Release Date and Plot
The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians was warmly received by viewers, so it’s no surprise that Disney was quick to announce a second season. Production has already started and we’re getting more information about which characters from Rick Riordan’s universe will appear in the new episodes.
In the first season, Percy discovers that he is a demigod and begins to discover his divine powers. Unfortunately, the supreme god Zeus accused the boy of stealing his lightning bolt – the Master Bolt, the source of his power. Percy teamed up with his friends, Grover and Annabeth, and set out to find the missing artifact, forcing him to delve into the extraordinary world of gods, monsters and fantastic creatures.
Here’s our guide to everything we know so far about the next episode of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 release date
According to information revealed by Disney on D23 2024, the second season of the show will debut by 2025.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 plot
The Disney show is an adaptation of a series of young adult novels by Rick Riordan. Season 1 was based on the first part, titled The Lightning Thief. Season 2 will be based on the second book, The sea of monsters.
After the events of the previous novel, Percy has had a quiet year at Meriwether College Prep. But the novel begins as things begin to change. Not only does he collide with man-eating giants on the last day of school, but Annabeth also returns to Camp Half-Blood with alarming news. It soon becomes clear that the magical barrier protecting the camp from the rest of the world has been destroyed. Demigods and other beings face real danger from a mysterious enemy.
In the second season, Percy also searches for Grover, who disappeared during his own mission.
The official description of the series reads:
Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood a year later and finds his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he discovers he has a Cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing and the camp is under siege by Kronos’ forces. Percy’s journey to put things right takes him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.
The Percy Jackson book series consists of six parts:
- The lightning thief
- The sea of monsters
- The Titan’s Curse
- The battle for the labyrinth
- The last Olympian
It means there’s enough material for multiple seasons, provided Disney renews the show after the second episode airs.

Unfortunately, we won’t see it Lance Reddickwho played the role of Zeus, in season 2. He died shortly after the end of filming for season 1, so his role will most likely be taken over by another actor.
Daniel Diemer (Under the Bridge) has joined the cast as Tyson, a Cyclops. The one-eyed boy is Percy’s half-brother, a son of Poseidon and a nymph. After living on the streets of New York for several years, he is taken in by Meriwether College Prep, where he meets Percy.
In season 2 we will also see the Gray Sisters – Tempest, Anger and Wasp – ancient, mysterious women who share one eye and one tooth. They also somehow run a taxi company that serves the extraordinary residents of Percy Jackson’s universe.
Kristen Schaal (What We Do in the Shadows) will star as Tempest, Sandra Bernhard (American Horror Story: NYC) will portray Anger, and Margaret Cho (The Flight Attendant) plays Wasp.
Recent additions to the cast also include Timothy Simons (Veep) as Tantalus. According to the show’s creators:
[He is] sardonic, manipulative, openly hostile, and rarely in a good mood… as he is cursed with eternal hunger and thirst, but can never eat or drink. Released from prison in the Underworld, Tantalus becomes interim activities director of Camp Half-Blood after replacing Chiron (Glynn Turman), who is suspected of having ties to Kronos.
