'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' author Rick Riordan promises "more of Annabeth's backstory in season 2"

While we still have a few months to wait until the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians premieres in December, we have some fun and interesting new teasers about what we can expect for our favorite characters. 

"We get a lot more of Annabeth's backstory in season 2," Rick Riordan told Entertainment Weekly of Leah Sava Jeffries' role. "Seeing that is really powerful for me. As they say, it 'hits different' when you're seeing a kid going through these things. It can get really, really dark. Especially the scenes with Baby Annabeth — she is so cute."

Since Jeffries couldn't play the toddler version of Annabeth, they found the next best person for the flashbacks. "The person who plays mini me is actually my cousin Marissa," she shared. "I didn't even know that she was auditioning! She did an amazing job."

As for the season itself, Aryan Simhadri, who plays Grover, expressed, "It's going to be a lot bigger, a lot more epic, a lot wetter." 

Jeffries continued to discuss how it will compare to season 1: "I love the first season, but it was just the three of us fighting huge monsters. This season, it's several quests going on at once. It almost felt like everything was a complete upgrade."
