The Disney+ Original series Percy Jackson and the Olympians made quite a splash with a star-studded panel Saturday at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. Moderated by Juju Green, aka Straw Hat Goofy, the panel featured series stars Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase), and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood), along with Charlie Bushnell (Luke Castellan) and Dior Goodjohn (Clarisse La Rue), who join as series regulars this season.

Also on hand were executive producers Jonathan E. Steinberg, Dan Shotz, and Craig Silverstein, plus surprise appearances from Toby Stephens (Poseidon), Jason Mantzoukas (Mr. D/Dionysus), and Daniel Diemer (Tyson), who was recently revealed as joining the cast as a cyclops and Percy’s half-brother. The panel marked the first public appearance of all six of the Season 2 regulars together. Mantzoukas also confirmed that he’ll return as Camp Half-Blood’s camp director, Mr. D, and exclaimed how happy he was to return this season.

Fans were given a tantalizing look at the coming season through a teaser trailer featuring a more grownup Percy (Scobell) taking the reins of a chariot.

They also revealed that Sandra Bernhard, Margaret Cho, and Kristen Schaal will guest star in the upcoming season as the Gray Sisters. Bernhard will portray Anger, the Gray Sister in charge of collecting cab fare from heroes who call upon the taxi. Anger impatiently awaits her turn to use the one eye shared among the sisters. Schaal will portray Tempest, who currently has the coveted eye and uses it to peer at the heroes, read their future, and tease them about their crushes and social lives. Cho will portray Wasp, the main driver of the Gray Sisters Taxi. She takes the heroes on a high-speed and hair-raising journey to Camp Half-Blood. Even though she’s blind most of the time, she’s truly seen it all.

Season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based on The Sea of Monsters, the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s bestselling Percy Jackson book series by acclaimed author Rick Riordan.
