It's hard to fault Percy Jackson and the Olympians, given what fans of the series had before. The Disney+ series is a vast improvement on the 2010 film starring Logan Lerman, chiefly because it's so faithful to the books by Rick Riordan. Still, it's not quite enough to exist as an accurate retelling. This new, improved Percy Jackson felt like a slog in other areas, with shoddy pacing and muddy backgrounds from the Volume keeping audiences at arm's length.

The trailer teases a daring quest filled with action, friendship and heart along with new monsters, magic and higher stakes than ever. It also spotlights the return of Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood. The season premieres December 10 with a two-episode debut on Disney+ and Hulu, followed by new episodes every Wednesday.

Season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians will pick up one year after Season 1, returning Percy to Camp Half-Blood where he faces new challenges and familial relations.
