Big News for Demigods: Tamara Smart joins “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” Season 2 as Thalia Grace!

Calling all Camp Half-Blood peeps! Disney+ just dropped some awesome news: Tamara Smart (“Resident Evil”) is joining season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” as the awesome Thalia Grace, daughter of Zeus himself!

Smart will be a recurring guest star, joining the crew we already know and love: Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase), Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood), and the rest of the gang.

Season two dives into Rick Riordan’s “The Sea of Monsters,” the next book in the epic Percy Jackson series. Thalia’s a super cool demigod warrior with a rebellious side and fierce loyalty to her friends. Zeus, her dad (awkward!), turned her into a magical tree to protect Camp Half-Blood, but don’t worry, she’s still a total badass.

Author Rick Riordan is psyched about Smart’s casting: “Finding the perfect Thalia was key. She’s gotta be tough, loyal,and totally rockin’ the whole demigod rebel vibe. Tamara totally blew us away with her audition – she’s electric! Plus, she totally embodies the ‘grace’ part of Thalia Grace!”

This role is even more special for Smart because she previously worked with the late Lance Reddick, who played Zeus in season one. Fun fact: Smart also played Reddick’s daughter in another project!

“I’m so grateful and excited to be joining the cast of Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” Smart said. “It’s so close to my heart. Lance Reddick and I always spoke about working together again, so it’s that much more special and important to me to play his daughter once more as Thalia, and to keep his memory alive. I feel his presence all around me and strive to make him proud on this exciting journey.”

Filming for season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is happening right now in Vancouver, and it’s expected to premiere on Disney+ in 2025. While you wait, catch up on season one to see Percy and his friends on their first epic quest! This is gonna be legendary!
