Production is currently underway in Vancouver, Canada, on the second season of one of the most popular Disney+ Original series, “Percy Jackson And The Olympians”, which is set to arrive on the streaming service in 2025.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on “The Sea of Monsters,” the second installment in Disney Hyperion’s bestselling Percy Jackson book series by acclaimed author Rick Riordan.

The new season will star Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Andra Day, Tamara Smart, Dior Goodjohn and Daniel Diemer. Also starring in the second season will Sandra Bernhard, Margaret Cho and Kristen Schaal as the Gray Sisters and Courtney B. Vance will be taking over the role of Zeus, who was played by the late Lance Reddick in the first season.

New casting details for the second season have been revealed by THR, which will see Rosemarie DeWitt (The Boys, Mad Men). Aleks Paunovic (Snowpiercer, Van Helsing), Beatrice Kitsos (iZombie) and Kevin Chacon (Jessica Jones) join the cast.

Rosemarie DeWitt will be playing the role of CC, who is a stylish and composed New Age guru-type whom Percy (Walker Scobell) and Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) encounter in their quest to find the Golden Fleece. She radiates warmth and empathy, but readers of The Sea of Monsters — the book on which season two is based — know there’s more to her than that.

Aleks Paunovic is going to be playing the role of Polyphemus is an ancient cyclops who was blinded by Odysseus long ago. He now tends animals and jealously guards the Golden Fleece on his private island.

Beatrice Kitsos will play Alison Simms, a character who doesn’t appear in author Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians books. She’s a Camp Half-Blood “graduate” who lives in the human world but is a true believer in the world Kronos is promising and aligns herself with Luke.

Kevin Chacon will be taking over the role of Chris Rodriguez, who like Luke is a son of Hermes and is part of his group.

Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J. Goldberg, James Bobin, Jim Rowe, Albert Kim, Jason Ensler and Sarah Watson.

The first season of “Percy Jackson And The Olympians” is available to stream on Disney+ now.
