High school gets mythological again as Percy Jackson returns.
As the unnecessary, shameless, way too soon TV remake of the Harry Potter flicks heaves its vast and glistening bulk into the mundane world to feed its many mouths with The Discourse for, let’s be real, two seasons, three tops, let us not forget that the much cooler, smarter, and waaaaay less problematic Percy Jackson and the Olympians is already up to its second season. Suck it, Hogwarts.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Season 2
What is Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief about?
Based on the young adult series by Rick Riordan and steeped in Greek mythology, Percy Jackson and the Olympians sees our titular hero discover he is the half-human son of Poseidon (one of many—seriously, those Greek gods, man…). Heading off to Camp Halfblood, one of those magical prep schools that show up in all these things, he made a few friends and a few enemies, while also clearing his name after getting framed for swiping Zeus’s thunderbolt.
Season 2, which is based on the second book in the series, Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters, sees the protective barriers that shield Camp Halfblood from the mortal world breached, and our lad off to the eponymous supernatural sea in search of the Golden Fleece. See? Greek myths!
The cast of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
Newcomer Walker Scobell is Percy; Leah Sava Jeffries is fellow young demigod Annabeth Chase; and Aryan Simhadri is satyr best mate Grover Underwood. On the staff of secret demigod school Camp Halfblood we have Jason Mantzoukas as Dionysus, aka Mr. D (perfect casting right there); Timothy Simons as Tantalus, cursed king turned Activities Director of Camp Half-Blood; and Glynn Turman as Latin teacher Mr. Brunner, who is actually the centaur Chiron.

Why we’re excited about Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
While the great Young Adult Fiction Boom seems to be over, Rick Riordan’s series was one of the best to come out in those heady post-Potter years. Yes, the previous screen adaptations did have their charms, but this series has given Riordan’s mythic world room to breathe.
