San Diego, CA – The highly anticipated Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians is slated to make a significant appearance at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) in July, sparking excitement among fans of the franchise. The series, which is based on Rick Riordan’s best-selling book series, is poised to share new developments regarding its upcoming second season, which will adapt The Sea of Monsters.
The production company Mythomagic Inc., co-founded by author Rick Riordan and his wife Becky, has hinted at an extensive promotional campaign leading up to the events at SDCC. Fans should expect at least a panel discussion featuring the cast and crew, with potential offsite events planned to further engage the audience. Given the success of the first season, excitement is building as the cast prepares to meet fans and participate in signings at the convention.
One of the most thrilling teases for fans includes the possibility of a new trailer being unveiled for the second season in August. This was hinted at by actress Leah Jeffries, who plays Annabeth Chase, while fellow cast member Walker Scobell, portraying Percy Jackson, remarked that fans should remain alert for announcements during Comic-Con, notably in July.
The core cast set to attend SDCC includes Walker Scobell, Leah Jeffries, Virginia Kull, Jay Duplass, and Adam Copeland. Alongside the main actors, supporting cast members will be present, enriching the fan experience with interactions amidst signings and panel discussions. At last year’s Comic-Con, fans enjoyed a presentation that included a recycled Season 1 trailer and a featurette celebrating the series’ success, which concluded with a teaser stating, “Season 2 is Coming.”
During the previous panel, Jay Duplass, who portrays Hades, engaged the audience with humor while hosting alongside cast members, highlighting key moments and favorite experiences from Season 1. Audience members were encouraged to participate, leading to engaging discussions revolving around character development and personal stories from the filming process. Sharing their experiences, cast members described the camaraderie developed on set, along with humorous anecdotes and lighthearted pranks that took place during production.
Among the exciting announcements from the panel, Rick Riordan confirmed that Daniel Diemer has been cast as Tyson, Percy’s half-brother Cyclops, for Season 2. The cast expressed their enthusiasm for Diemer’s involvement, particularly noting the dynamics created by his height in relation to their characters. These developments highlight the ongoing growth of the series as it continues to adapt Riordan’s beloved novels.
Additionally, behind-the-scenes footage and blooper reels from Season 1 provided fans with a deeper glimpse into the series’ production. These visuals emphasized the shared experiences of the cast and the fun atmosphere on set, reinforcing the connection between the actors and their roles. The show has also seen encouraging co-viewing statistics from Disney+, indicating that families are often enjoying the series together.
Preparatory production activities for Season 2 are expected to commence in August in Vancouver, highlighting the efficient strides being taken after the overwhelming response to Season 1, which is currently available for streaming on Disney+. As fans eagerly anticipate SDCC, the excitement surrounding Percy Jackson and the Olympians continues to build, promising a dynamic and engaging experience ahead of the upcoming season.
