Today, it was announced that actor Courtney B. Vance will replace Lance Reddick in Percy Jackson season 2 as the god Zeus. Reddick tragically passed away shortly after production on season 1 ended last year (via CNN). He was best known for his roles in the John Wick series and Fringe on Fox in the early 2000s. Vance said in a statement,

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to join the extraordinary cast of ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians! There are few moments in an actor’s career when you can honestly say that you’re about to board a series that has such a devoted fan base filled with characters beloved around the world and is based on a wildly successful book series. I know that stepping into this role of Zeus will be a memorable experience and I’ll be giving my brother, Lance Reddick, who left us way too soon, a heavenly hug.”

Production on the sequel season has been underway in Vancouver since August. Filming will run through January 2025 using The Volume technology again.

Percy Jackson is expected to return to Disney+ sometime in late 2025
