The trio will return for an epic adventure!
In a true gift from the gods, Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been officially renewed for a second season on Disney Plus!
The first season came to a close at the end of January, and fans have been desperate to know if they will be getting another instalment of the action-packed series.
Led by Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri as Percy, Annabeth and Grover respectively, the season saw the trio thrown into a wild adventure, and there’s plenty more on the horizon – as the actors will all be returning for the next run.
Season 2 will see the group embark on a new adventure based on Rick Riordan’s The Sea of Monsters, as part of his Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series.
“Rich in magic, wonder, adventure and heart, Percy Jackson and the Olympians captivated the imaginations of viewers of all ages everywhere,” said Ayo Davis, president of Disney Branded Television.
“We’re thrilled to embark on an exciting new quest and a season 2 with Rick Riordan, our fantastic partners at 20th Television and the exceptional ensemble of cast and creative talent that bring this story to life.”
