Season 2 of ‘Percy Jackson' is Coming—And Season 3 is Confirmed!
What 'Percy Jackson' Season 2 will be about
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 was announced in 2024, just a few months after the first season came out. It is expected to follow the second book in author Rick Riordan's best-selling series, The Sea of Monsters.
In the novel, Percy Jackson (played by Scobell) travels to Circe's island with his friend Annabeth Chase (played by Jeffries) to try and procure the legendary Golden Fleece in the hopes that it will save both Camp Half Blood and the magical tree that protects it. Elsewhere, the now villainous Luke Castellan (played by Charlie Bushnell) works to revive the titan Kronos, and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) goes mysteriously missing, all of which are featured in the trailer below!
'This season has a lot more action than last season for sure,' Scobell, age 16, said, per TV Insider. 'I feel like last season was very much like, we would stay in one place and have a conversation and then there'd be an action sequence, you know what I mean? It was awesome. But this season, the stakes are higher for our characters, so it almost feels like there's never a place where we just stop and talk. We're almost always doing something, which I think fits this book perfectly. There's just so much at stake for our characters.'
The actor could be referring to the book's chariot race, Cyclops' fight or his character being turned into a gerbil, but only time will tell.
This will be the second time the book has been adapted, as it was made into a film in 2013, which starred Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson, Brandon T. Jackson as Grover Underwood and Alexandra Daddario as Annabeth Chase.
Who's in the 'Percy Jackson' Season 2 cast?
Along with Scobell, Jeffries, Bushnell and Simhadri Dior Goodjohn (who plays Clarisse La Rue), Virginia Kull (who plays Sally Jackson), Glynn Turman (who plays Chiron/Mr. Brunner), Jason Mantzoukas (who plays Dionysus/Mr.D), Toby Stephens (who plays Poseidon) and Lin Manuel Miranda (who plays Hermes) are expected to return.
They will be joined by Tamara Smart (who will play Thalia Grace), Daniel Diemer (who will play Tyson), Andra Day (who will play Athena) and Timothy Simons (who will play Tantalus). Courtney B. Vance is also expected to appear, as he will take over the role of Zeus from Lance Reddick, who tragically passed away in 2023 at the age of 60.
'There's also just a little bit of denial, I think. That's something that we're gonna have to deal with. But we're incredibly grateful for this character that he helped build and the presence that he created,' executive producer Jon Steinberg said in February 2024, per Deadline. I do not envy whoever has to step into his shoes.'
When does 'Percy Jackson' Season 2 come out?
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 is expected to release on Disney+ on December 10, 2025. As of publication, there is no news on whether episodes will be released one by one like Season 1 was.
Is 'Percy Jackson' getting a Season 3?
Following that, Disney announced that the show will be returning for a third season, which will be based on book three, The Titan's Curse. It will be the first time that the novel has been adapted and will introduce viewers to Nico D'Angelo, who will be played by Levi Chrisopulos and his sister Bianca D'Angelo, who will be played by Olive Abercrombie.
'We're so grateful to be continuing the story of Percy Jackson on Disney+. This third season will be new territory for the screen, bringing fan favorites like the Hunters of Artemis and Nico di Angelo to life for the first time,' Riordan, the author, wrote on his website. 'It's a huge sign of commitment from Disney, and speaks volumes about the enthusiasm with which the fandom has embraced the TV show. Thank you, demigods worldwide!'
It is expected to start filming in July of this year, with Scobell musing it 'probably will be my favorite season to shoot,' per J-14.
You can stream Season 1 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+.

The Biggest News And Announcements From Gen Con 2025
Gen Con 2025 took place over the weekend in Indianapolis, Indiana. Tabletop fans gathered to play games, buy games, watch games be played and all sorts of other nerdy activities. While San Diego Comic Con is the most famous geek convention, Gen Con has grown into a vital part of Indiana's tourist industry. Besides all those activities, plenty of big announcements and releases come out of the show. There were too many for one article but I've collected the biggest ones with links for more information. Let's take a look at the news that shook Gen Con this year. Critical Role Announces New Campaign And New Game Master At Gen Con 2025 Critical Role took to the stage on August 2nd at the Fishers Event Center in Indianapolis. They showed off a live version of their hit release Daggerheart but more importantly, they announced the start date of their new campaign: October 2nd. White the announcement of the fourth campaign was expected, there was a huge twist. Longtime Dungeon Master Matt Mercer is moving over to the player side of the table. In his stead, Dimension 20's Brennan Lee Mulligan will be taking over the big chair. Dropout was quick to confirm that Mulligan will not be leaving Dimension 20 nor any of the other shows he's been doing for them. More details, like who will be joining Mercer as a player, will be announced in the lead-up to the new campaign. One of the big questions being debated by fans is whether this campaign will continue using Dungeons and Dragons as its system or if the show will want to highlight Daggerheart with a table full of actual play heavy hitters. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder For those not in tune with the actual play scene, this amounts to a blockbuster trade in sports. On the pop culture side, this would be like James Gunn being announced as the director of the next Avengers while continuing his work at DC Studios. It's an exciting time for fans of Critical Role and Dimension 20. Starfinder Second Edition Drops At Gen Con 2025 Paizo released the newest edition of its space fantasy role playing game after a year's worth of playtesting. Starfinder Second Edition is now fully compatible with Pathfinder Second Edition. I can't wait for my players to get into space combat with a dragon. Starfinder embraces space opera in the style of media such as Star Wars or Guardians of the Galaxy. As part of the Pathfinder universe it blends magic and technology into all kinds of strange adventures. The storyline for the new edition has included some wild twists such as a giant eldritch horror hatching out of a planet like an egg. Speaking of adventures, the convention also saw Murder In Metal City arrive at the show. This boxed set doesn't just contain a mystery adventure but also the tokens, maps and handouts needed to drive the story forward. It's a great way to put the ned edition through its paces. Gen Con 2025 Role Playing Game Announcements Magpie Games announced Temeraire The Role Playing Game on Thursday. They've partnered with author Naomi Novik to bring her novels about an alternate history where dragons fight in the Napoleonic Wars to the tabletop. The game is expected to go to crowdfunding in 2026 and a full release in 2027. An adaptation of the Diablo video games is coming from Glass Cannon Unplugged. The game is being put together by RPG design heavyweights such as Joe LeFavi (Blade Runner), Przemysław Zub (Dying Light), Cam Banks (Marvel Heroic Roleplaying), John Harper (Blades in the Dark), Mike Olson (Fate), and Shawn Tomkin (Ironsworn). The Kickstarter hoping to launch this game looks to kick off later this year. Renegade Game Studios announced earlier in the week that an RPG based on Matt Dinniman's Dungeon Crawler Carl books is under development. The setting features humans fighting their way through alien dungeons for the amusement of an intergalactic game show. The first game is expected next year but it is unknown if it will up Essence20, like the recently released Welcome To Night Vale RPG, or an original system. The Cypher System, from Monte Cook Games is evolving with a focus on faster character generation and better corebook organization. A crowdfunding campaign will start soon with a projected delivery of the new books in 2026. Fans looking for more information on what's changing can find it here. Gen Con 2025 went by in a blur. It's The Best Four Days In Gaming but its influence expands far beyond the convention. I look forward to covering these games as additional information comes to light.

Las Culturistas Culture Awards, Plus 5 Things to Watch on TV This Week
Between streaming and cable, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to watch. Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that are airing or streaming this week, Aug. 4-10. Details and times are subject to change. It's all about the culture. Las Culturistas Culture Awards is not just any awards show — it's a cool awards show. Presented by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, who host a weekly podcast of the same name, this show features 100 categories, including but not limited to: Best Vibe, Hands Down (nominees: Japan, Seth Meyers and the Spirit Tunnel from 'The Jennifer Hudson Show'), the Canada Award for Canadian Delicacy (all-dressed chips, Alanis Morissette, Bowen Yang — Age 8) and the Cover Our Bases Award for Thing You Have to Admit Happened This Year (the 'It Ends With Us' legal battle, Karla Sofía Gascón on CNN, the time 'Adrien Brody spit his gum out at the Oscars, threw it to his date and Matt and Bowen were in the shot'). The show was taped in mid-July in Los Angeles with an audience that included Jamie Lee Curtis, Quinta Brunson and Jeff Goldblum. I'll be tuning in with bated breath to see who wins the Canada Award — my money is on all-dressed chips. Tuesday at 9 p.m. on Bravo and available to stream the next day on Peacock. Friendship, boarding schools and a time-traveling love story. At first glance, the IMDb page for the series 'Platonic' might look suspiciously like the one for the 2014 movie 'Neighbors' — after all, both have Nicholas Stoller as the director and star Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen. But the show, which is beginning its second season this week, has a completely different plot: Instead of the married couple they played in that film, Rogen and Byrne play two longtime and platonic best friends who reunite after a significant rift. Season 1 followed the two reconnecting and the destabilizing effect that had on both of their lives. The second season picks up with them navigating the hurdles of day-to-day life while trying to appropriately support each other. Aidy Bryant, Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett join the cast this season as guest stars. Streaming Wednesday on Apple TV+. 'Wednesday,' the series about the daughter of Morticia and Gomez Addams, had a wildly successful first season and, according to the streamer, became the most streamed show on Netflix ever. Now the surly teen (played by Jenna Ortega) is back for a second season, set once again at Nevermore Academy, a high school for all kinds of fantastical outcasts. This time, she has a vision showing her roommate Enid (Emma Myers) dead — with Wednesday herself responsible. The second season will come out in two parts, with the first four episodes releasing this week and the next four on Sept. 3. Streaming Wednesday on Netflix. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Mavericks star Kyrie Irving sets personal goal amidst injury recovery
Dallas Mavericks star guard Kyrie Irving has been off the NBA floor since suffering a torn ACL in March earlier this year against the Sacramento Kings. The former no. 1 overall pick out of Duke has managed to keep the fans entertained in his absence, however, which has included live streams of him playing video games, reacting to highlights in his career, amongst other things. However, recently, in a stream with popular Twitch content creator Kai Cenat, the former Blue Devil announced a more personal goal off the court that he would like to accomplish, one that you simply have to give him props for wanting to achieve. ""Pretty soon, I'll be back in school, bro, I'm gonna go get my degree," Irving said to Cenat. "For me, I want to participate in a lot of the larger conversations. I want to be able to not only just read my contracts, but I want to be able to help others. I want to be able to give you sound advice that comes from not just lived experience, but from education.' Given that Irving only spent one year at the Durham, NC school before heading to the NBA, it makes sense for the guard to want to finish out his education. Whether it's at Duke or at another school, that information remains up in the air, it will be interesting to see whether Irving goes through with his goal, as his return currently is predicted to be in January of 2026.
