Season 2 of Percy Jackson Will Be “More Mature”

The cast of Percy Jackson and the Olympians previously teased that Season 2 of the series will, like the books, take on a more mature tone.

“It feels older,” both Scobell and Aryan Simhadri said.

“It feels more mature,” Leah Jeffries said. “It’s definitely hyped up some.”

In The Sea of Monsters books, Percy and his friends Annabeth (Jeffries) and Grover (Simhadri) embark into the titular ocean of beasts, the mythical version of the real world’s Bermuda Triangle to find the Golden Fleece.

Starring Walker Scobell (The Adam Project) as the titular demigod, this eight-episode first season embarks Percy on a quest to return Zeus’s stolen master bolt, as he is framed as the prime suspect.
