Tamara Smart as Thalia Grace in Percy Jackson and the Olympians
A thrilling new cast update for Percy Jackson and the Olympians just dropped, as Disney+ has announced that Tamara Smart will join the series as the fan-favorite character Thalia Grace, who also just happens to be the daughter of the sky god, Zeus. Smart will appear as a recurring guest star in Season 2 of the epic adventure series, alongside series regulars Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, and Daniel Diemer.
There's also a poignant touch in casting Smart as the daughter of Zeus. The late Lance Reddick played Zeus in the first season of the series, and the pair had worked together on Resident Evil, with the pair once again playing father and daughter. Smart noted the connection and added that she hoped to help keep Reddick's memory alive.
Who Is Thalia Grace and Why Is She So Important? In addition to the announcement, Riordan released a statement hailing the casting decision and explaining why Thalia Grace is such a pivotal part of his stories: The second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is currently in production in Vancouver. The series will drop on Disney+ sometime in 2025. Until then, you can check out the first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+.
