Percy Jackson and the Olympians is finally coming back to Disney+ this month.

Fans have been waiting forever for season 2. The show brings Rick Riordan's beloved books to life in a truly special way on screen. Season 1 received such great reviews from nearly everyone. Walker Scobell does an incredible job as Percy, and Leah Sava Jeffries brings Annabeth to life perfectly. Aryan Simhadri rounds out the central trio as Grover.

These three actors managed to capture what made the books so good. The first season focused on The Lightning Thief storyline. Season 2 dives into The Sea of Monsters next. Percy and his crew have to track down the Golden Fleece this time. Expect tons more Greek mythology woven throughout the episodes.

Some seriously incredible creatures pop up, plus fresh faces are joining the adventure. Disney+ shared the exact dates for every single episode. Now everyone can plan out their watching schedule ahead of time. The waiting game is basically over at this point.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 starts on Wednesday, December 10. Two full episodes drop that same day, right from the beginning. Fans basically get a double dose of content on day one. Then one new episode comes out each following Wednesday.

The show switched to Wednesday releases from Tuesday this season. You'll need to keep this in mind when planning your week. Episodes continue to roll out through late January. Season 2 consists of eight episodes in total. That matches up with how many the first season had too.

Disney+ typically releases new content around 3 AM Eastern Time. That means midnight Pacific Time for people on the West Coast. West coast folks can start streaming right when Wednesday begins.

East coast viewers either need to pull an all-nighter or get up super early. Disney+ hasn't provided any additional information about Percy Jackson and the Olympians specifically. So it'll probably follow their regular release pattern. Open the app early on Wednesdays to double-check when it actually shows up.
