Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 streamed this week, thus the cast and crew of the popular Disney+ series were interviewed by different outlets. One of these interviews was with Buzzfeed, where the outlet interviewed Walker Scobell, Aryan Simhadri, and Leah Jeffries. The three discussed the upcoming seasons while playing with puppies.

One of the topics of discussion was the three actors fan-casting for the upcoming seasons of the series. Aryan Simhadri revealed the one actor he would like to see join in an upcoming season: Danny DeVito as Pan, the Greek God of Wild, folk music, and satyrs.


Is Danny DeVito joining Percy Jackson and the Olympians?

No, Danny DeVito is NOT joining an upcoming season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians as Pan. Simhadri just listed DeVito as a fancast, something the internet usually does. While DeVito does look like the right choice for Pan on the surface level, it should be noted that the makers have enough time. The Disney+ series has followed the books regarding Pan until now.

Pan does not appear in the books until the fourth one, The Battle of the Labyrinth (2008). It should be noted that Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been green-lit for only three seasons as of now. Disney has not greenlit seasons four and five, which would adapt the fourth and fifth books, respectively. The next season is adapting The Titan's Curse.

President of Disney Branded Television, Ayo Davis, released this statement confirming the third season early this year:

“From the moment ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ debuted, it was clear this series had struck a chord with fans of all ages. With season two set to premiere this December, we’re thrilled to announce that Percy’s journey will continue with a third season. Huge thanks to our incredible cast and creative team, our partners at 20th Television, and our visionary and talented producers who continue to bring Rick Riordan’s world to life with such depth and imagination.”

What's happening in season 2?

The season 2 premiere opens with Grover in a mysterious forest, tracking Pan, which results in him being trapped by the cyclops Polyphemus. While Grover tricks Polyphemus by pretending to be a female cyclops, he doesn't have much time left and forms an empathy link with Percy. This is what pushes Percy, Annabeth, and Tyson on an unsanctioned quest to rescue Grover.

"When Thalia’s tree is mysteriously poisoned, the magical borders of Camp Half-Blood begin to fail. Now Percy and his friends have just days to find the only magic item powerful to save the camp before it is overrun by monsters. The catch: they must sail into the Sea of Monsters to find it. Along the way, Percy must stage a daring rescue operation to save his old friend Grover, and he learns a terrible secret about his own family, which makes him question whether being the son of Poseidon is an honor or a curse."

The first two episodes of the second season are available on Disney+. Catch them before the third episode streams this coming Wednesday.
