The upcoming season of *Percy Jackson and the Olympians* is set to debut on December 10, 2023, featuring a host of new monsters and challenges for its beloved characters. Based on Rick Riordan’s second book, *Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters*, the series continues to follow Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson as they navigate a treacherous journey filled with mythological dangers.
This new season sees returning cast members, including Walker Scobell as Percy, Leah Sava’ Jeffries as Annabeth, and Aryan Simhadri as Tyson, Percy’s half-brother and a baby cyclops. Their mission this time involves rescuing Grover and securing Camp Half-Blood’s future by obtaining the Golden Fleece from the notorious cyclops, Polyphemus.
Alongside Polyphemus, the heroes will face an array of formidable foes, including sirens and various giants, adding to the season’s excitement. The newly released exclusive posters showcase these monstrous adversaries, hinting at a more action-packed narrative compared to the previous season.
Expanded Perspectives and New Characters
The second season will not only focus on the trio’s quest but will also delve into the experiences of other characters. Viewers will gain insights into Grover’s capture, Clarisse’s sanctioned expedition for the Golden Fleece aboard a ghostly warship, and Luke’s journey as a traitor to Camp Half-Blood. This multifaceted storytelling approach aims to enrich the narrative, offering a broader view of the challenges faced by each character.
The season comprises eight episodes, each titled with one of Riordan’s signature humorous chapter headings, such as “I Play Dodgeball with Cannibals” and “Clarisse Blows Up Everything.” This creative choice reflects the show’s light-hearted yet adventurous spirit.
Among the anticipated new characters is Courtney B. Vance, who will reprise his role as Zeus, the King of Olympus, taking over from the late Lance Reddick. This casting change has sparked interest among fans, who are eager to see how the character’s portrayal will evolve.

The first two episodes of *Percy Jackson and the Olympians* Season 2 will premiere exclusively on Disney+ and Hulu, with subsequent episodes released weekly on Wednesdays. As the characters confront cyclopes, giants, and sirens, fans are left wondering whether Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson can outsmart their adversaries and what fate awaits Clarisse in the Bermuda Triangle.
