The Disney+ Original series Percy Jackson and the Olympians made a splash with a star-studded panel at D23 on the Premiere Stage. Moderated by Juju Green, aka Straw Hat Goofy, the panel featured series stars Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase), Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood), with Charlie Bushnell (Luke Castellan) and Dior Goodjohn (Clarisse La Rue) who join as series regulars this season, alongside executive producers Jonathan E. Steinberg, Dan Shotz, and Craig Silverstein; plus, surprise appearances from Toby Stephens (Poseidon), Jason Mantzoukas (Mr. D/Dionysus), and Daniel Diemer (Tyson). The panel marked the first public appearance of all six of the season-two series regulars together. Mantzoukas also confirmed that he’ll return as Camp Half-Blood’s camp director Mr. D.
Additionally, it was announced that Sandra Bernhard, Margaret Cho, and Kristen Schaal will guest star in season two of the epic adventure series as the Gray Sisters. Bernhard will portray Anger, the Gray Sister in charge of collecting cab fare from heroes who call upon the taxi. Anger impatiently awaits her turn to use the one eye shared between the Sisters. Schaal will portray Tempest, who currently has the coveted eye shared between the sisters and uses it to peer at the Heroes, read their future, and tease them about their crushes and social lives. Cho will portray Wasp, the main driver of the Gray Sisters Taxi. She takes the heroes on a high speed and hair-raising journey to Camp Half-Blood. Even though she’s blind most of the time, she’s truly seen it all.
Season two of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based on The Sea of Monsters, the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s bestselling Percy Jackson book series by acclaimed author Rick Riordan. From Disney Branded Television and 20th Television, production on the Disney+ Original series is currently underway in Vancouver for a 2025 debut on Disney+. More casting news to come.
