It\u2019s out tomorrow, December 10, and critics are loving the season, at least according to <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/percy_jackson_and_the_olympians\/s02\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/tv\/percy_jackson_and_the_olympians\/s02\" aria-label=\"Rotten Tomatoes.\">Rotten Tomatoes.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>As it stands, Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 has a perfect 100% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes. That puts it above the 91% for season 1, and it now has a 95% average as a result, barring new reviews coming in to change that (which may well happen). The show has a lower audience score with a 79%, but that\u2019s still solid enough. <\/p>\n<p>A common complaint with the show, like Stranger Things, is that the cast is just aging a lot between seasons, as kids that age grow fast. I mean, it\u2019s true. Here\u2019s Percy himself, Walker Scobel, in season 1:<\/p>\n<p>Percy Jackson and the Olympians<\/p>\n<p>Disney<\/p>\n<p>And here he is in season 2:<\/p>\n<p>Percy Jackson and the Olympians<\/p>\n<p>Disney<\/p>\n<p>If there keep being years-long gaps between seasons, this is going to get a little weird. But as long as the show is still good, I suppose we can overlook it. Here\u2019s the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Percy_Jackson_and_the_Olympians_(TV_series)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Percy_Jackson_and_the_Olympians_(TV_series)\" aria-label=\"synopsis\">synopsis<\/a> for season 2 of Percy Jackson:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the second season, Percy returns to Camp Half-Blood a year later, where he learns that it is under threat from the forces of Kronos and Grover has gone missing, and must venture into the Sea of Monsters to find the Golden Fleece.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A new adventure means a lot of new characters pulled from Greek mythology.

Vance, who will replace Lance Reddick as Zeus in the series, as Reddick sadly passed away in 2023. <\/p>\n<p>Percy Jackson has already been renewed for season 3, and has already been <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/percy-jackson-season-3-artemis-zoe-nightshade-casting-1236349597\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-news\/percy-jackson-season-3-artemis-zoe-nightshade-casting-1236349597\/\" aria-label=\"casting roles\">casting roles<\/a> for that season, including Marvel\u2019s Daphne Keen and Barbie\u2019s Kate McKinnon as Aphrodite. <\/p>\n<p>Dafne Keen in Deadpool and Wolverine<\/p>\n<p>Marvel<\/p>\n<p>So, it seems as if Percy Jackson season 2 is going to be a good one. I am curious if fans are more impressed this time around, which could raise audience scores, but that remains to be seen. Since this is Disney Plus, the show is not being released as a binge drop. Two will air tomorrow, and then the show will run week to week until January 21. Given the incredibly early season 3 renewal, hopefully it will not be two years until we see season 3 drop.<\/p>\n<p>Follow me <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/twitter.com\/PaulTassi\" aria-label=\"on Twitter\">on Twitter<\/a>, <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ?sub_confirmation=1\" aria-label=\"YouTube\">YouTube<\/a><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCg6K8i6OGobyZNoPIsCW9uQ\" aria-label=\",\">,<\/a> <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/paultassi.bsky.social\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/paultassi.bsky.social\" aria-label=\"Bluesky\">Bluesky <\/a>and <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/paul.tassi\/?hl=en\" aria-label=\"Instagram\">Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pick up my sci-fi novels the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B08G1MRFTM?ref_=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_tkin&amp;binding=kindle_edition\" aria-label=\"Herokiller series\">Herokiller series<\/a> and <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08KYDGG73?binding=paperback&amp;ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk\" aria-label=\"The Earthborn Trilogy\">The Earthborn Trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Percy Jackson and the Olympians Disney Percy Jackson and the Olympians is finally returning for season 2, two&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":307154,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,122803,122802,18685,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-307153","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-percy-jackson-and-the-olympians","11":"tag-percy-jackson-season-2","12":"tag-rotten-tomatoes","13":"tag-uk","14":"tag-united-kingdom","15":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=307153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/307153\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/307154"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=307153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=307153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=307153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
