I was really thrilled to recently discover that

Season 2 of
Percy Jackson and the Olympians

has joined the

2025 TV schedule

, particularly because it will adapt the book.
The Sea of Monsters
Therefore, with the primary group of actors from the show reuniting at this week’s Disney Upfronts, I’m even more pumped for the series’ return. Nonetheless, something mentioned during their discussion about Season 2 has left me feeling disappointed.

The Percy Jackson Cast Came Together To Talk About Season 2, And I’m Hyped

Walker Scobell, Leah Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri, of course, play Percy, Annabeth and Grover, the core characters of the
Percy Jackson
show. When they stopped to talk to

ScreenRant

about the upcoming season, I was hyped to hear more about Season 2.

Scobell mentioned the inclusion of Tyson, who will be portrayed by Daniel Diemer. Tyson is depicted as a cyclops and also serves as Percy’s half-brother through his connection to the Greek gods.
The Adam Project
actor also said this season Percy will be “his guardian” and “take care of him” after initially treating him “a little differently at the start.” This definitely is in line with the book, and I’m so excited to see the Tyson storyline be realized through the second season.

Jeffries additionally discussed how revealing Luke collaborating with Kronos in the previous season will introduce “a new dynamic” at Camp Half Blood.

So, there’s a lot to be excited about.

Nevertheless, one tease did disappoint me.

While I’m very excited that
The Sea of Monsters
is among the

upcoming book adaptations

, there’s something Aryan Simhadri said that reminded me why this season will have me feeling kind of sad.


— Spoilers for the book


The Sea of Monsters


are ahead! —

For most of the book, Grover is separated from Percy and Annabeth, because he is captured by Polyphemus the Cyclops and must be saved by them. Here’s what Simhadri said about filming:

I was genuinely just alone in there. My filming schedule was different from everybody. [Grover is] forced to take care of himself, and he’s in a situation that’s so personal to him. It’s like seeing Uncle Ferdinand in Medusa’s cave, but just ten times worse, and so he’s forced to step up and take this leadership role that he’s not really used to as a protector. It was an interesting new dynamic.

I’m really upset that Grover won’t be spending most of Season 2 with Percy and Annabeth! Although I’ve read the book, I had forgotten about this detail. Seeing their great chemistry in Season 1 makes me think it just won’t be the same without him around. Still, at least we can take comfort knowing they’ll all reunite eventually.

will be back for Season 3

already, but it’s kind of a shame Simhadri had to film mostly alone.

Prior, the Grover actor talked about

having fun with Grover’s wedding dress,

which he wears to trick Polyphemus into thinking he’s his bride, and won’t kill him. So, don’t get me wrong, there are still plenty of moments I’m looking forward to.

The cast

started filming the season back in August,

and it’s set to premiere in December of this year. While knowing the trio won’t be all together is a bummer, it’ll still be a great season, I’m sure.
