Disney Plus series Percy Jackson and the Olympians has found an actor for the fan-favorite character Tyson in season two.
At San Diego Comic Con Rick Riordan and Disney Plus revealed Under the bridge actor Daniel Demier will take on the role of the cyclops Tyson in the adaptation of Riordan’s Greek mythology-inspired young adult series.
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.
Deimer can currently be seen in Hulu’s Under the Bridge, which is based on the critically acclaimed book of the same name. He also starred in Supercell, The Midnight Club, and The Half of It.
What’s happening in season two of Percy Jackson and the Olympians?
Season two of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. 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.
Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming Percy Jackson and the Olympians season two next week in Vancouver.
The first season of the show is available now on Disney Plus, as are the previous movie adaptations from 2010 and 2013, respectively.
