In this potential Season 2, Percy and his friends face new challenges as Thalia’s magical tree is poisoned, causing Camp Half-Blood’s protective borders to weaken. The group must embark on a daring mission into the Sea of Monsters to find a powerful magic item that can save the camp. Along the way, Percy discovers shocking secrets about his family, raising questions about the honor and curse of being the son of Poseidon.
Scobell, portraying Percy Jackson, expresses his hope for the series renewal and anticipates a continuation of the captivating story. However, he predicts a significant increase in underwater scenes, recalling the excitement and challenges of filming underwater in Season 1. Despite the discomfort, Scobell is determined to push his boundaries and engage in thrilling stunts while maintaining a positive outlook on potential sun-soaked outdoor scenes.
The golden trio of Percy Jackson, comprising Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri, eagerly anticipates the introduction of new characters in Season 2. Characters like Thalia, Zeus’ “forbidden child,” and Tyson are expected to bring fresh dynamics to the storyline. The trio is particularly thrilled about the expanded roles of Dior Goodjohn and Charlie Bushnell as Clarisse La Rue and Luke Castellan.
Scobell envisions a shift to more outdoor locations, embracing the sun and nature, which would mark a departure from the controlled environment of “The Volume” stage used in Season 1. The actors express their enthusiasm for potential filming changes, including more on-location shoots and exciting outdoor experiences.
As fans eagerly await official updates on the renewal of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” Scobell and his co-stars remain excited about the prospect of continuing the series. The trio’s enthusiasm for the introduction of new characters and evolving storylines ensures that fans will be in for an engaging ride if the series gets the green light for Season 2.
