Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians has cast an important piece of the season two puzzle. Daniel Diemer (Under the Bridge) has joined the series for the upcoming season, taking on the role of Tyson the cyclops.
Diemer joins a cast that’s led by returning stars Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood. According to Disney+, season two is expected to begin shooting in Vancouver next week. The new season is based on Rick Riordan’s The Sea of Monsters, the second book of his bestselling Percy Jackson series.
“In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down,” reads Disney+’s synopsis. “His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.”
The streamer offered this description of Diemer’s character: “Tyson [is] a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets and finds it difficult to survive in the human world. Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home.”
The series was created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg and is executive produced by Steinberg, Rick Riordan, Dan Shotz, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, Bert Salke, James Bobin, Jim Rowe, Albert Kim, Jason Ensler, and Sarah Watson. Additiional executive producers include The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, and D.J. Goldberg.
