The two-episode premiere of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 arrives on December 10, 2025. The first episode, titled I Play Dodgeball with Cannibals, will be available on Disney+ alongside the second episode, Demon Pigeons Attack. This new season continues the adventures of the young demigod as he journeys into the dangerous Sea of Monsters.
Story and Setting for the New Season
Season 2 adapts the second book in Rick Riordan’s series, The Sea of Monsters. The story finds Percy Jackson returning to Camp Half-Blood after a year away, only to discover his world has been upended. The magical borders protecting the camp are failing, his friend Grover is missing and in need of rescue, and the camp is under threat from the forces of the Titan Kronos.
To save his home and his friend, Percy must embark on a perilous quest to find the Golden Fleece, the only object powerful enough to heal the camp’s dying protective magic. He will be joined by Annabeth Chase and a new companion, his cyclops brother Tyson. Their journey will take them across the treacherous Sea of Monsters, where they will face down cannibal giants, mythical monsters, and the ongoing schemes of Luke Castellan.

A Look at the First Episode’s Inspiration
The title of the first episode, I Play Dodgeball with Cannibals, comes directly from a chapter in The Sea of Monsters book. In that chapter, Percy and other campers are playing a game of dodgeball when they are attacked by a group of cannibal giants, who turn the game into a deadly match with fireballs. While the exact plot of the TV episode may differ, the title suggests a faithful and action-packed start to the season.
The new season has been rated TV-PG V, indicating a higher level of action and violence compared to the first season, fitting the more intense challenges Percy and his friends will face.
