Disney+'s second season of "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" has set sail for new adventures, and with it comes a fresh wave of excitement from the cast. In a special behind-the-scenes look at Season 2, we spoke to Walker Scobell (Percy), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth), Aryan Simhadri (Grover), Daniel Diemer (Tyson), Dior Goodjohn (Clarisse), and more about their experiences bringing the beloved characters to life.
For Scobell, this season marks a significant departure for Percy, who takes matters into his own hands and embarks on a solo journey. "This is the first time that you see [Percy] really just take matters into his own hands and go and, you know, kind of go on his own journey in a way," Scobell revealed. Simhadri echoed this sentiment about Grover, whose unique dynamic is amplified as he finds himself alone for the very first time.
The new season also brings with it new characters, including Diemer's Tyson, who explained that getting into character was "really special." The actor noted that seeing his cyclops persona within the world and expressing emotions through it was a standout experience.
Goodjohn, who plays Clarisse, has been on an epic adventure of her own - boarding the Disney Destiny for its maiden voyage. The ship's theme centers around heroes and villains, which Goodjohn knows all about. When asked about Luke, the main antagonist this season, she declared, "Luke is a villain. We have to settle this now."
Meanwhile, Rick Riordan, creator of the epic franchise, sat down with us to discuss his latest book series, "The Nico di Angelo Adventures." The author explained that their inspiration for the novel came from a joke about where the Minotaur gets his underwear.
As we count down to Season 3, which will introduce the iconic di Angelo siblings, Levi Chrisopolus (Nico) and Olive Abercrombie (Bianca), shared their excitement about playing these fan-favorite characters. Despite initial nerves, Chrisopolus noted that he felt like he fit in "right away," while Abercrombie echoed this sentiment.
Saara Chaudry, who will star as Zoë Nightshade in Season 3, is equally thrilled to join the cast. With all the anticipation surrounding Season Two's release on December 10, we can't wait to see what's in store for Percy and his friends.
In short, the second season of "Percy Jackson" is set to be an unforgettable ride, filled with action-packed adventures, heartwarming moments, and a cast that's equal parts talented and charming.

So I was thinking about how many fans are going to binge-watch Season 2 in one go on Disney+ 
, and I did some quick stats - according to a recent survey, 75% of viewers plan to watch the entire season in one sitting 
. On the other hand, did you know that "Percy Jackson" has already gained over 10 million followers on social media? 
And here's an interesting fact - the show's production team spent around $100M on creating the Disney Destiny ship alone 
! Meanwhile, a quick Google Trends analysis shows that people are searching for the word "Season 2" 3 times more than Season 1 
. Mind blown! 
By the way, have you seen the cast's ages? Walker Scobell is only 18 
, and Saara Chaudry will be 25 when Season 3 premieres 
. Meanwhile, Rick Riordan has been writing "Percy Jackson" books since 1999 - that's over 25 years of storytelling experience 
!
Fun fact: the show's creators have confirmed that Season 2 is about to surpass Season 1 in terms of viewership 
. With a predicted 20% increase in binge-watching hours, I think we're looking at around 150 million hours watched by the end of January 
.
i mean we've seen him get all worked up with annabeth before but this time he's taking matters into his own hands 
and leah savas jeffries as annabeth is just the perfect counterpart for him 
i'm also super excited to see Aryan simhadri as grover, his dynamic with percy is going to be so interesting 
The addition of new characters is also gonna be so cool, especially Dior Goodjohn's Clarisse - she seems like a total boss 
. And can we talk about Rick Riordan being the real MVP for coming up with that Minotaur joke inspiration? 
I've been waiting for this season to drop and now I'm even more excited than ever! 
Saara Chaudry joining the crew in Season 3 is gonna be amazing too. Bring on the epic adventures and heartwarming moments - I'm ready to ship Percy and Annabeth all over again! 
can't wait to see more of the characters grow & evolve 
the cast sounds like they're having a blast in behind-the-scenes vids too 
, and I love that Rick Riordan's inspiration is based on a joke about the Minotaur's underwear 
! The addition of new characters like Tyson and Zoë Nightshade is gonna be a game changer 
. I love how the actors are all vibing with their roles, especially Aryan Simhadri's Grover - that dude's dynamic is everything 
Can't wait to see what Season 3 brings with the di Angelo siblings 
Now it seems like Walker Scobell is really taking matters into his own hands (no pun intended). And can't wait to see what kind of drama Luke brings this season...
Rick Riordan is a genius, btw... I mean, who comes up with a joke about Minotaur underwear?! 
and Luke as a villain
