Black Girl Nerds sat down with the cast and creative team behind the hit Disney series Percy Jackson and the Olympians to discuss what fans can expect from the highly anticipated second season. Featured in our interviews are series stars Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Charlie Bushnell (Luke Castellan), Dior Goodjohn (Clarisse La Rue), Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase), and Daniel Diemer (Tyson). Executive producers Jon Steinberg, Dan Shotz, Craig Silverstein, and author/co-creator Rick Riordan also joined us to share insight into adapting the beloved world for screen.

Season two draws from The Sea of Monsters, the second book in Riordan’s best-selling series. Picking up one year after the events of season one, Percy returns to Camp Half-Blood to find everything in disarray. His bond with Annabeth is shifting, Grover has mysteriously disappeared, and he discovers that he has a cyclops half-brother Tyson whose arrival brings both emotional complexity and unexpected humor. Meanwhile, camp faces growing threats as Kronos’ forces close in, setting the stage for a darker and more urgent adventure.

The cast reflected on stepping back into their roles with new emotional depth, while the producers discussed honoring longtime fans of the books and bringing fresh twists for new audiences. Riordan shared his excitement about seeing The Sea of Monsters brought to life with a balance of heart, humor, and high-stakes mythology.

This season sends Percy and his friends beyond familiar borders and into the treacherous Sea of Monsters, where unexpected revelations and dangerous challenges await the son of Poseidon.
