Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 2 Brings Epic Sea of Monsters Adventure to Disney+
Introduction: A Triumphant Return to Camp Half-Blood
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 has officially premiered on Disney+ and Hulu on 10 December 2025, marking an exciting new chapter in the beloved demigod saga. Based on the second installment of Rick Riordan’s best-selling book series titled ‘The Sea of Monsters’, this season continues to captivate audiences who fell in love with the first season’s faithful adaptation. The series has become Disney+’s standout series, especially for tweens and young teens, offering a fresh take on Greek mythology that resonates with modern viewers.
What’s New in Season 2
The newly released second season features some noticeable changes from the beginning, expanding the storyline beyond Percy’s solo journey. After Camp Half-Blood’s protective border is breached, Percy Jackson embarks on an epic odyssey into the Sea of Monsters in search of his best friend Grover and the legendary Golden Fleece. The stakes are higher this time, as the Golden Fleece becomes the only thing that can save Thalia’s tree and the camp’s protective border.
Percy is joined by Tyson, a young Cyclops whom Sally met and has allowed to live with them, who later turns out to be Percy’s half-brother. Season 2 consists of eight episodes, with the first two premiering together and new episodes arriving weekly at midnight PT on Wednesday mornings through 21 January 2026.
Critical Reception and Cultural Impact
Two years after its debut, Percy Jackson and the Olympians has returned for a powerful second season that stands just as tall as the first. The series has received positive reviews from critics, who largely praised its faithfulness to the source material, worldbuilding, and cast performances. Unlike the poorly received film adaptations from the 2010s, this iteration works because it began with a younger cast, allowing them to grow and develop on-screen.
Looking Ahead: The Future of the Franchise
In March 2025, ahead of the second-season premiere, the series was renewed for a third season, which is set to adapt The Titan’s Curse. This commitment demonstrates Disney+’s confidence in the franchise’s enduring appeal. For fans new and returning, Season 2 promises deeper character development, spectacular visual effects, and thrilling mythological adventures that honour Rick Riordan’s beloved books whilst bringing fresh perspectives to the screen. The series continues to prove that faithful adaptations, diverse casting, and compelling storytelling can create magic that spans generations.
