Get ready demigods, because Percy Jackson and the Olympians is returning for more mythological adventures on Disney+.
A second season of the TV show, based on the book series of the same name by Rick Riordan, was announced just one week after its season 1 finale aired in January 2024.
“Passengers, this is your captain from the bridge. If you look out the forward observation deck, you will see our next destination, the Sea of Monsters,” Riordan wrote via Instagram in February 2024, reacting to the renewal. “Thank you for sailing with us on board the Princess Andromeda!”
Season 1 followed Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), a troubled 12-year-old who discovers he is the son of the Greek god Poseidon. After being accused of stealing Zeus’ Master Bolt, Percy sets off on a quest with fellow demigod Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries) and his satyr protector Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) to retrieve the weapon and clear his name.
