Percy Jackson Season 2 Just Cast Thalia, Its Most Important Character

As a seasoned movie buff with a soft spot for mythology and coming-of-age tales, I can hardly contain my excitement over the upcoming second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians! The casting of Tamara Smart as Thalia Grace is nothing short of inspired – she’s proven her mettle in various genre offerings like Resident Evil, Wendell & Wild, A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting, and The Worst Witch.


In the second installment of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” a tempest is forming, with the show recently announcing its main character, Thalia, the demigod daughter of Zeus. The popular Disney+ series has rekindled interest in Rick Riordan’s book series. Previously, the books were transformed into films, featuring Logan Lerman as the lead demigod. The sequel, “Percy Jackson and the Sea of Monsters,” ended hinting at Thalia’s (Paloma Kwiatkowski) appearance, but after the movie franchise was terminated by 20th Century Studios, fans were left longing to see one of their favorite series characters come to life. However, the wait is almost over, as Thalia will debut in the forthcoming second season.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tamara Smart has been chosen to play Thalia Grace in the upcoming second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Noteworthy for her performances in Resident Evil, Wendell & Wild, A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting, and The Worst Witch, it remains undecided how extensively Thalia will feature in the second season. Given that the series has generally adhered closely to Riordan’s novels, there is speculation that Tamara might only appear towards the end of Season 2, laying groundwork for a more substantial role in future seasons.

In the upcoming Season 2, Tamara Smart joins the cast as the most recent member. Additionally, Daniel Diemer has secured a role as Tyson, Percy’s cyclops half-brother. It has been officially announced that Tyson will be a recurring character moving forward, which suggests he is expected to debut at the beginning of Season 2, as he does in the second book titled “The Sea of Monsters.

In the Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, Thalia Grace stands out as a significant character. She is first introduced in The Lightning Thief, which forms the basis of the show’s initial season. During Grover’s flashback, we see Thalia bravely sacrificing herself to fight a Minotaur, allowing Annabeth and Grover to reach Camp Half-Blood. Her sacrifice results in her body transforming into a tree, serving as a protective barrier around Camp Half-Blood. Throughout the novels, Thalia Grace proves to be a formidable ally for Percy. Being another child of the Big Three (Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades), she possesses immense strength and combat skills. Regarding Tamara Smart’s casting, Rick Riordan (who is an executive producer on the show) has commented favorably on her portrayal.

In the world of Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace is a vital character whose portrayal was crucial. Thalia is a strong warrior, an unwaveringly loyal companion, and a rebellious demigod with a distinct ‘punk’ or ‘rebel-against-the-system’ spirit. When we saw Tamara Smart embody this role, it became clear that we had found our daughter of Zeus. She was, metaphorically speaking, electrifying.

In the second series installment of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” it is anticipated that they’ll be adapting “The Sea of Monsters.” This storyline follows Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and newcomer Tyson as they embark on a quest to find the Golden Fleece, an artifact with extraordinary healing abilities. However, their journey will lead them into confrontation with a formidable adversary who aims to harness the fleece’s power to resurrect an ancient force.
