The much anticipated season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, has now gone on floors, thus delighting fans who are eager for more adventures from the beloved characters. Following a successful first season, which premiered in December 2023, the new season promises to continue the journey through the world of Greek mythology, based on Rick Riordan’s acclaimed book series.
Filming updates
Filming for Season 2 began in early August 2024, ahead of the previously expected Fall timeline. The production team has been actively sharing updates on social media, providing fans with glimpses of the behind-the-scenes action. On July 31, 2024, director and executive producer James Bobin posted a blurry image of a film slate on Instagram, marked “ANNABETH NYC.” This suggests a potential flashback involving Leah Jeffries‘ character, Annabeth Chase, which could add depth to the storyline.
The following day, co-executive producer Becky Riordan shared a concept art image of Camp Half-Blood’s Big House from Season 1. She noted on X (formerly Twitter), “From in the producers tent, I am looking at the side of a set on the outer bare wall plywood side. Inside, they are filming the opening scene of Season 2, and it is perfect.” This insight indicates that the production team is committed to creating an authentic representation of the beloved camp setting.
On August 2, cinematographer Jules O’Loughlin also contributed to the excitement by posting another film slate on Instagram. His slate was marked “1.4,” indicating that the production was working on the fourth scene of Episode 1. O’Loughlin’s enthusiastic caption, “Let’s go!!,” reflects the team’s eagerness to dive into the new season.
Originally, filming for Season 2 was anticipated to start later in the year. However, with the early commencement, it appears that production will continue for several months, allowing for a more extensive filming schedule.
Release date and adaptation details
The second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will adapt ‘The Sea of Monsters,’ the second book in Rick Riordan’s series. While the specific release date for Season 2 has not yet been announced, fans can still enjoy Season 1 which is currently streaming.
Given the production timeline, it is expected that the new season may not premiere until early 2026. The filming for the first season took about nine months, wrapping up in February 2023, with the show debuting in December of the same year. If Season 2 follows a similar timeline, filming could conclude around April 2025, with post-production potentially extending the release to late 2025 or early 2026.
Anticipated production timeline
To provide a clearer picture of the anticipated timeline for Season 2, it is helpful to consider the production schedule of Season 1. The first season began filming in June 2022 and finished in February 2023, leading to a December release. If Season 2 follows a comparable pattern, it is likely to wrap filming in early to mid-2025, with a possible release window in late 2025 or early 2026.
Rick Riordan has previously indicated that the production of Season 2 may be slightly easier than the first season, which could lead to a more expedited release. However, the extensive use of special effects in the series may still contribute to potential delays, as the show requires significant post-production work.
Cast and characters
The main cast of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will return for Season 2, including Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood. The introduction of new characters, such as Clarisse La Rue, played by Dior Goodjohn, will expand the narrative as the story progresses into the adventures of ‘The Sea of Monsters.’
With filming officially underway and the creative team actively sharing updates, excitement is building for the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Fans can look forward to more thrilling adventures as the series continues to explore the rich world of Greek mythology.
