Percy Jackson returns this weekend, and it feels like the exact kind of momentum Disney+ needs heading into the holidays. Season 2 pushes the story, the characters, and the world into deeper mythology and darker conflicts, all while staying true to what made the first season resonate with fans. With new relationships, bigger monsters, and the full Sea of Monsters storyline ahead, this season looks ready to capture the weekly “Percy Jackson Tuesdays” excitement all over again.
A New Quest Begins: What Season 2 Covers
Based on Rick Riordan’s “The Sea of Monsters,” Season 2 picks up one year after Percy’s first adventure. The peace of Camp Half-Blood doesn’t last long, and Percy quickly finds his world shifting in every direction.
Percy discovers he has a cyclops brother named Tyson. Annabeth faces new fears as her past comes crashing into her present. Grover is missing. Clarisse is sent on her own quest. And the biggest threat yet looms as Luke steps forward as a rising villain.
This season sends Percy and friends beyond the familiar borders of camp and into the dangerous Sea of Monsters—where a fate Percy never expected is waiting.
