The second season of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” premieres next Wednesday (10), but gained new and revealing scenes this Saturday (6), during the cast’s presence at CCXP25.
Actors Walker Scobell, Leah Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri and Charlie Bushnell, alongside producers Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz, arrived in Brazil for a special promotion of the series. In addition to commenting on the new episodes, they performed shows that filled the Thunder stage.
In the first scene shown, Annabeth has an alarming vision about the camp in danger, while Percy tries to find his friend Grover. On the way, they end up crossing paths with the gray sisters, who cause confusion during a chaotic journey to the satyr’s whereabouts.
At another point, Percy and Grover meet again in a dream and assume that they are sharing an “empathetic connection”, strengthened by the sincere friendship between the two. The conversation revolves around Luke and his intention to take possession of the Fleece.
Another impactful scene shows Luke attacking Thalia’s tree, responsible for protecting Camp Half-Blood. The villain escapes on a pegasus soon after.
The last sequence presented, highlighted by producer Dan Shotz, reveals the chariot race between the main characters. According to the producer, the recording required great physical effort and dedication from the actors to deliver the intensity of the scene.
About the second season of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians”
The new season premieres on December 10th on Disney+and will take the young demigod with his friends, to the Sea of Monsters. The plot takes place one year after the events of the first, when Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) discovers he is the son of Poseidon (Toby Stephens), and so is a demigod. He also recovered the Master Bolt from Zeus (Lance Reddick) to prevent a war between the gods.
On this new journey, the young man will need to deal with an even greater and personal threat. At the same time as he investigates the disappearance of his friend Grover (Aryan Simhadri), Percy will also need to deal with the breaking of the barrier that protects Camp Half-Blood, the training center for demigods.
While searching for his friend, he also needs to recover the Golden Fleece, to save the camp, and Olympus itself, from destruction. To do so, he joins Annabeth (Leah Sava’ Jeffries), daughter of Athena, rival Clarisse (Dior Goodjohn), daughter of Ares, and Cyclops Tyson (Daniel Diemer), Percy’s half brother, on an odyssey through the Sea of Monsters.
