Percy Jackson Season 2 Teases Excite Fans Despite Grover’s Solo Moments

by

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve just found out Season 2 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” will air in 2025, as it’s based on the book “The Sea of Monsters“. Hearing the main cast reunite at Disney Upfronts this week has further boosted my anticipation. But there was a small piece of news about Season 2 that I found disappointing during their discussion.

The Percy Jackson Cast Came Together To Talk About Season 2, And I’m Hyped

Walker Scobell, Leah Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri, without a doubt, embody Percy, Annabeth, and Grover – the principal characters in the Percy Jackson series. My excitement level soared when I learned they spoke to ScreenRant about Season 2 details, leaving me eager for more insights into the upcoming season.

In the Adam Project, Scobell discussed the introduction of Tyson, portrayed by Daniel Diemer. Tyson, as depicted in the series, is a cyclops and Percy’s half-brother on his Greek deity side. The actor added that this season, Percy will serve as Tyson’s guardian and look after him, having initially treated him differently at first. This aligns with the book, and I can’t wait to witness how the Tyson storyline unfolds in the second season.

Additionally, Jeffries discussed the impact that Luke’s collaboration with Kronos during the previous season would bring about a “fresh interaction” within Camp Half Blood.

So, there’s a lot to be excited about.

With a Disney+ subscription, you’ll have the opportunity to revisit or keep up with the series “Percy Jackson and The Olympians”. The new ad-supported plan is priced at $9.99 per month, but if you prefer an ad-free experience, it will cost you $15.99 a month. Alternatively, you can save 16% by pre-paying the annual fee of $159.99. Check out the deal now!

However, One Tease Did Bum Me Out

Though I’m eager about “The Sea of Monsters” being part of the forthcoming film adaptations, a comment by Aryan Simhadri brought back memories of why this season might leave me with a tinge of sadness.

For much of the story, Grover is taken captive by Polyphemus the Cyclops, necessitating a rescue mission by Percy and Annabeth. As for the movie production, this was Simhadri’s take on it.

In my unique perspective as a cinephile, I found myself isolated amidst the bustling film set. My schedule was distinctly separate from the rest, leaving me alone in my own private world. This solitude forced Grover into self-reliance, a predicament that resonated deeply with him. It felt like witnessing Uncle Ferdinand in Medusa’s lair, but amplified by a factor of ten, making it all the more harrowing. Consequently, he was thrust into a leadership role he wasn’t accustomed to, as a protector. This fresh dynamic added an intriguing layer to the narrative.

I’m really disappointed that Grover won’t spend much of Season 2 with Percy and Annabeth. I remembered their bond from the books, but somehow overlooked this detail when watching. The camaraderie between them in Season 1 made the show special, so it will feel different without him. Fortunately, we know they’ll all reunite for Season 3, but it’s a bit unfortunate Simhadri had to film most scenes solo.

Earlier, the character portrayed by Grover used an amusing tale about wearing a wedding gown to deceive Polyphemus into believing he’s his bride and sparing his life. However, let me clarify that there are many more exciting scenes I eagerly anticipate.

Filming for the new season began in August, but don’t worry, you can catch it on screens in December of this year! Although it’s disappointing that the trio won’t be together throughout the series, I have no doubt it will still turn out to be an exceptional season.
