Danger always follows Percy Jackson and the Olympians' hero around, even in the comforts of Camp Half-Blood.

Speaking with Screen Rant, Chiron actor Glynn Turman briefly addressed the new drama Percy will face upon returning to the demigod campgrounds, including the arrival of mythogical figure Tantalus (Veep's Timothy Simons) as Camp Half-Blood's new activities director. Being a far less pleasant face in the role than Chiron, the actor teased how the series' status quo will be "shaken up in a good way. You have to remember the stakes are even higher now. Everybody is trying to form different alliances, even Chiron gets in a little trouble here and there. You'll see that in Season 2. It's quite a dynamic."

Much like his mythology backstory, Percy Jackson's Tantalus was punished in the Underworld for the crime of killing and feeding his son to Zeus as a meal, forever surrounded by food...

Percy Jackson and the Olympians actors Walker Scobell, Aryan Simhadri, and Leah Sava Jeffries have opened up about the upcoming third season of the hit Disney+ series. The TV adaptation earned an early renewal from Disney before Season 2 hit screens.

In an interview with Screen Rant, the trio confirmed that production for Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 would begin in July. "We go up in July for bootcamp," Simhadri said. "That's in like, two months," Jeffries added. Scobell also expressed his excitement, revealing that it might be his favorite since they would be adapting Rick Riordan's 2007 novel The Titan’s Curse. "This is probably my favorite season, probably will be my favorite season to shoot," he said. "Of course, it's their favorite season because I'm not there," Jeffries joked, referring to Annabeth being separated from Percy and Grover

Riordan also serves as an executive producer and creator on the live-action TV adaptation of his bestselling novel series.

Per Collider, Riordan was asked on Goodreads about the possibility of Percy Jackson and the Olympians lasting for more than three seasons. Although nothing has been finalized yet, he admitted that he’s actually “optimistic” about the Disney+ show’s future. "I'm guardedly optimistic about future seasons. No one knows the answer right now. It will depend on continued viewership, but we're certainly off to a great start! All I can say for certain is that everyone involved is hoping and assuming that we will have the full five-season arc, but we'll just have to wait and see,” Riordan said.

All hail the Gods of Olympus! Because by the grace of the almighty Zeus, who has thankfully reclaimed his lightning bolt, the Disney+ original show Percy Jackson and the Olympians will be returning for a second season.

The second season will turn its attention to book two, The Sea of Monsters, and will feature the return of Walker Scobell as the titular character, Percy Jackson, alongside his friends, Annabeth Chase (Leah Jeffries), and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri). Season 2 is set to bring on a number of new characters, including Tantalus, played by Timothy Simons, who has since addressed his role in the series.

The first season of the Disney+ series was widely well-received, in part due to the excellent portrayals of several characters. Such is the standard Simons...

I am braced for heartbreak after Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2's Thalia Grace casting. As a daughter of Zeus (Lance Reddick), and given her history with Annabeth Chase (Leah Jeffries), Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri), and Luke Castellan (Charlie Bushnell), Thalia is poised to be a pivotal character in the series. I was glad that season 1 took time to briefly establish what happened to Thalia, informing both Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) and the audience that she sacrificed herself to save her friends and was transformed into a pine tree that now protects Camp Half-Blood.

The Sea of Monsters, which is what season 2 will adapt, ends with the Golden Fleece healing the poisoned tree, with this magic leading to Thalia being expelled from it. Zeus' daughter only appears at the end of the book, though. However, since Smart has already been confirmed to be playing Thalia in Percy Jackson season...

The expansion of the Percy Jackson universe might mean including Roman demigods from The Heroes of Olympus. The show could include characters from spinoffs like The Kane Chronicles and Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians saw a fantastic first season with great main characters, but the story still has many more amazing people to introduce. In addition to there being four more books with new characters in Rick Riordan's flagship Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, the bestselling author wrote some spinoffs set in the same world. This includes The Heroes of Olympus and The Trials of Apollo, both also focusing on Greek and Roman mythology, as well as the Norse mythology-inspired Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard books and the Egyptian series The Kane Chronicles.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is officially heading out to sea.

A promotional teaser for Percy Jackson season 2 was unveiled at D23 this weekend, revealing that the hit Disney+ show is officially in production. Narrated by an older Percy (Walker Scobell), the teaser largely recaps the events of season 1, including Percy discovering his demigod heritage, fighting mythological monsters, and preventing a war between the Greek Gods from destroying civilization. It then cuts to new footage of Percy stepping into a chariot with Poseidon's insignia on it, teasing "that is just the beginning" before re-confirming season 2 as an adaptation of Rick Riordan's The Sea of Monsters novel.

Jeffries agreed, loving the Waterland setpieces because "the water was warm and they had jets too so it felt like a big jacuzzi," before teasing Scobell about a moment on-set where the jets hit him at full blast.
