The new season is set to premiere on December 10, on Disney+ and Hulu, with two episodes available at launch. Before the official premiere, the show has already had its world debut, and early reviews are in. According to Rotten Tomatoes, the series currently has a perfect 100% score.
Critics are saying that Season 2 improves on an already strong first season. The cast, including Walker Scobell as Percy, continues to grow into their roles, showing more emotional maturity while handling big, globe-trotting adventures.
The action remains fast-paced, the monsters are visually exciting, and the show keeps its mix of humor and heart. While some reviews note that the series doesn’t take major risks with the story, most agree that it delivers an enjoyable and magical continuation of the world of Percy Jackson.
Overall, Season 2 seems to expand the mythology and make it bigger and bolder than before. Fans of Rick Riordan’s books are likely to appreciate how the show brings the stories to life, keeping the adventure, humor, and charm that made the first season a hit.
Four episodes in, Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 is a satisfying improvement over an already rock-solid Season 1.

Scobell embodies this iconic character without breaking a sweat, even if audiences might feel his interpretation lacks hard edges. Season 2 also squanders the potential to subvert expectations, and ultimately Percy Jackson plays it safe.
Martin Carr
“Percy Jackson and the Olympians”’ second outing is a vast, globetrotting adventure, and one whose trio of leads grow suitably older and more emotionally mature to navigate.

Whether or not you like the show, I suspect, will be strongly influenced by how much you loved Rick Riordan’s series as a kid – which I did, a lot – but the action is snappy, the monsters pleasingly disgusting and the humour still zingy.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 is a magical return to a world where mythology isn’t just a thing you learned about and forgot. It’s bigger. It’s cheekier. It’s bolder. And it might just be better than Season 1.
