Disney pulled out all the stops for its Percy Jackson and the Olympians San Diego Comic-Con presence Thursday morning, announcing inside Hall H that Season 2 will arrive on Disney+ on December 10, 2025.
In addition to an in-room teaser and other fun moments to hype fans up for the Sea of Monsters adventure, author and co-creator Rick Riordan also revealed casting news for Season 3: Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie have joined Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians as siblings Nico and Bianca di Angelo, children of Hades.
Production on Season 3, which will be based on Riordan’s third book in the series, The Titan’s Curse, is set to begin soon.

Riordan revealed the news via video message during the panel with stars Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase), Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood), Charlie Bushnell (Luke Castellan), Dior Goodjohn (Clarisse La Rue) and Daniel Diemer (Tyson), whose casting was announced last year in Hall H for Season 2.
The wave of reveals continued in the new Season 2 teaser trailer, which was almost accidentally skipped over in Hall H. In the clip, demigods gather for an “inevitable” war that’s waging. Clarisse looks intimidating climbing out of a boat, as does Bushnell’s traitorous Luke, who wields a sharp-looking knife.
“Brace yourself, Perseus,” Percy’s dad Poseidon warns his son. After Annabeth asks Percy, who is also known as Seaweed Brain, if he really wants to go into the Sea of Monsters, he grabs her hand and says, “Let’s go do the impossible.”
At the end of the teaser, Diemer’s Tyson shows up to protect Percy from a ball of flame hurled at him, and he turns around so that viewers can get their first glimpse of his cyclops transformation as Percy’s half-brother. The clip also gave a peak at the Gray Sisters in their taxi cab, teasing Annabeth about Percy being her boyfriend, which she never said in the first place.

In Season 2, Percy is on a mission to find the Golden Fleece to save Camp Half-Blood, which is “run by some jerk and being attacked by waves of monsters,” said executive producer Craig Silverstein. “So, Percy has to set out to set things right, and that means a quest to find the Golden Fleece, which is a legendary artifact that can heal anything or anyone, and he needs to use it to restore the protective barrier that surrounds Camp Half-Blood. So Season 2 is about Percy trying to hold all of his life together as it’s breaking and changing. And that’s your typical middle school experience.”
Executive producer Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz also spoke on the panel, which was moderated by comedian and actor Timothy Simons, who will star as Tantalus in Season 2.

“Season 2 is epic. It is so huge, what we were able to build. We are on the Sea of Monsters adventure,” added Shotz. “So, we are out at sea. We are on 175-foot ironclad ship. We are on cruise ships. We are in chariot races. We are fighting incredible monsters. It is so massive and we cannot wait for you guys to see.”
During the panel, Simons teased the audience with a special preview of Simhadri in Grover’s highly anticipated wedding dress, which is a major wardrobe moment for him in Season 2’s story as readers of the book will recall. The clip featured Simhadri’s co-stars Jeffries, Diemer and Scobell present for the special day of the dress fitting in addition to his parents. Diemer expressed how excited he was to be there for Simhadri while Scobell went back in the dressing room to see the gown. Unfortunately, the clip cut off before we could see the dress, so viewers will have to tune into Season 2 for the big reveal.
Simhadri and Scobell joked about the preparation they undertook for their big wedding scene. A ring may or may not have been involved. Scobell objected to a proposal that he didn’t make behind the scenes.
Season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based on The Sea of Monsters, the second installment of Riordan and Disney Hyperion’s bestselling book series. The installment’s logline reads, “After Camp Half-Blood’s protective border is breached, Percy Jackson embarks on an epic odyssey into the Sea of Monsters in search of his best friend Grover and the one thing that may save the camp — the Golden Fleece. With help from Annabeth, Clarisse and his newfound cyclops half-brother Tyson, Percy’s survival is crucial in the fight to stop Luke, the Titan Kronos, and their impending plan to bring down Camp Half-Blood — and ultimately, Olympus.”
The second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians stars Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn and Daniel Diemer. Tamara Smart will play Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus. Other recurring guest stars include Jason Mantzoukas as Dionysus the leader of Camp Half-Blood, Simons as Tantalus and Lin Manuel-Miranda as Hermes, messenger of the gods. Courtney B. Vance has been recast as Zeus, taking up the mantle from the late Lance Reddick. Sandra Bernhard, Kirsten Schaal and Margeret Cho will portray The Gray Sisters.
