Percy Jackson Season 2 Will Shake Up Camp Half-Blood with New Characte

BBG News

In an exclusive interview with Ebaster, a star from the Percy Jackson series has hinted that the arrival of a new character in season 2 will cause quite a stir at Camp Half-Blood and among its resident centaur, Chiron. Following its successful debut in December 2023, Disney+’s Percy Jackson television show garnered widespread acclaim from fans of Rick Riordan’s book series as well as new viewers. Fortunately, the streaming platform opted to renew the show for a second season. In the upcoming season 2 of Percy Jackson, audiences can expect a host of fresh characters, one of whom is Tantalus, portrayed by Timothy Simons, a formidable and malicious demigod, who takes up a position within Camp Half-Blood’s staff.

Introducing a fresh character like Tantalus could significantly reshape the atmosphere at Camp Half-Blood, as suggested by Glynn Turman, the actor portraying Chiron in Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Liam Crowley from Ebaster had an opportunity to interview Turman during the premiere of the 2025 film Straw, and he hinted at shifts in power relations.

As a cinephile, I’m thrilled about the introduction of Timothy Simons as Tantalus in season 2! Could you perhaps give us a hint on how his arrival might disrupt the power balance at Camp Half-Blood? I’m eager to see how this new dynamic unfolds!

Glynn Turman: Things will undergo a positive change. It’s crucial to keep in mind that the risks have escalated significantly now. Characters are trying to create new partnerships, and even Chiron finds himself in a bit of trouble from time to time. These events unfold in season 2, creating quite an exciting and unpredictable scenario.

What Glynn Turman’s Statement About Tantalus Means

Tantalus Will Have A Major Impact On Camp Half-Blood

As a devoted cinema enthusiast and avid fan of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series, I can’t help but feel a surge of excitement at the news that Turman is set to make an appearance. After all, Tantalus was a constant presence in The Sea of Monsters, stirring up discord among the campers by playing favorites. One of the missteps in the 2013 Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters film was its omission of Tantalus entirely. However, Turman’s portrayal of Chiron and the campers being “shaken up” also serves as a promising sign that the Disney+ show will remain true to the source material.

Furthermore, Turman’s portrayal of Tantalus’ impact suggests that the Percy Jackson series might provide a more nuanced representation of this character, avoiding the stereotypical depiction of an evil antagonist. Even though Tantalus is an unsavory figure, he significantly contributes to the narrative of season 2 of Percy Jackson, becoming prominent early on according to the books. To create tension and power struggles without making him a detestable character that viewers want eliminated quickly will be a delicate task. They must walk this fine line between portraying his villainy and maintaining audience engagement.

Our Take On Tantalus Shaking Things Up

Turman’s Description of Tantalus Gives Me Confidence They’ll Get The Character Right

Just like many Percy Jackson enthusiasts out there, us at Ebaster are eagerly anticipating the creative team’s work on the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. So far, Disney+ has been doing a great job adapting the source material, which gives us hope that the quality will continue in season 2. Moreover, Turman’s mention of Tantalus reassures me that this will indeed be the case.

When I delve into Rick Riordan’s book series, there’s a character named Tantalus who elicits feelings of both admiration and annoyance from me, and it seems likely that this sentiment will persist towards him in Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians. It’s heartening to learn that his influence won’t be wholly detrimental as per Turman. Yet, I’ll unwaveringly support Chiron throughout since, let’s admit it, Tantalus can be quite a handful.
