WWE icon Edge talks about a change in Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2

Adam Copeland, who plays Ares, the Greek god of war, in the series Percy Jackson and the Olympians has opened up on some exciting changes that await fans ahead of Season 2.

Copeland hinted that while the show is mostly following the books, there is always space for creative changes and the one major change fans will notice in Season 2 is the introduction of multiple new elements in the show, citing the diner scene in the first season, which wasn't part of the books.

Adapted from the acclaimed book series by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 debuted in 2023 and quickly gained popularity among adventure enthusiasts. The series follows a twelve-year-old demigod, Percy, who faces the challenges of being linked to two worlds.

To ensure the series offers a faithful representation, Rick Riordan joined the project as the co-creator with Jonathan E. Steinberg. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 focuses on Percy discovering his unique heritage of being a human and a demigod.

Percy then goes to Camp Half-Blood, where he learns more about being a demigod and his lineage. As the adventure begins, Percy is accused of stealing a master lightning bolt from Zeus, which leads him to a quest to find the torch to prove his innocence.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 also featured Percy's friends, with whom he parted ways by the end of the season. Now, in the upcoming Season 2, fans will be seeing them as grown-ups while maintaining their childlike wonder.
