Rick Riordan recently had a chance to check out the early cuts of the first two episodes for Percy Jackson & The Olympians Season 2, and he’s really impressed. According to him, the episodes are already looking ‘amazing.’

One thing that stands out to Riordan is the increased focus on Clarisse LaRue, a character who plays a bigger role this season, just like in the Sea of Monsters book. Fans of the books will recognize her as an important character, and it looks like the show is doing her justice.

The actress playing Clarisse, Dior Goodjohn, has caught Riordan’s attention with her performance. He mentioned that she has really brought her ‘A game‘ this season. He’s excited for viewers to see what she’s been doing. Riordan’s praise suggests that her portrayal of Clarisse is a major highlight of the new season.

Here is the original answer from Goodreads:

What are you looking forward to the most with season 2 of the TV show? And are there any TV shows you have been watching lately you would recommend?

RR: I’m looking forward to everything about PJO season two! I’ve seen early cuts of the first two episodes now (without any post-production effects yet) and they are already amazing. One thing I really appreciate about season two is Clarisse LaRue being more of a major character, just as she is in the Sea of Monsters book. Dior Goodjohn has definitely brought her ‘A game’ to this season — I can’t wait for viewers to see her incredible work!

Fans who’ve read the books know that Clarisse has a strong personality and a key role in Percy’s world, so it’s great to see the show giving her more screen time. It’s clear from Riordan’s comments that this season will dive deeper into her character.

With all the hype surrounding the second season, it’s shaping up to be a thrilling watch. Riordan’s approval of the early episodes adds to the excitement for what’s coming next. We can expect a more complex and well-rounded Clarisse, which is bound to please fans who’ve been waiting for this character to get her due.
