His on-screen chemistry with co-stars Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) is considered a cornerstone of the show's success.
The Latest Updates: Season 2 Premiere and Scobell's New Blockbusters
The most current and exciting news for fans centers on the future of the *Percy Jackson* franchise and the actor's expanding cinematic universe. The show's executive producers, including Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, have confirmed that the next adventure will be even bigger and more challenging for the demigod trio.

These new roles, especially the live-action and voice-acting projects, highlight Scobell's trajectory as a leading man, not just a franchise star. He is actively working to ensure he is not typecast solely as the son of Poseidon.
Logan Lerman: The Original Percy Jackson and the Cameo Question
No discussion of the Percy Jackson actor is complete without acknowledging Logan Lerman, who originated the role in the 2010 film *Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief* and its 2013 sequel, *Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters*. Lerman’s portrayal is still deeply cherished by many fans, and the question of his return for a cameo in the Disney+ series is a constant source of fan curiosity.
Logan Lerman Biography & Post-Percy Jackson Career

- Born: January 19, 1992
- Birthplace: Beverly Hills, California, USA
- Breakout Role: Percy Jackson in *The Lightning Thief* (2010).

Lerman’s career flourished after the *Percy Jackson* films, with critically acclaimed roles in films like *The Perks of Being a Wallflower* and high-profile projects like *Fury* and *Bullet Train*. This demonstrates his successful transition from a teen fantasy star to a respected dramatic actor.
Will Logan Lerman Have a Cameo in Season 2?
The possibility of a Logan Lerman cameo has been openly discussed by both the cast and Lerman himself. Walker Scobell has expressed his enthusiasm for Lerman joining the series, suggesting he could play a character like Poseidon or another major Greek mythology figure. Lerman, who is now 33, has stated he would "definitely be up for" joining the Disney+ series, though no official casting has been confirmed for Season 2.
A potential cameo would serve as a powerful passing of the torch, uniting the two generations of *Percy Jackson* fans. The showrunners have a unique opportunity to integrate the original actor into the current narrative, possibly as a new Camp Half-Blood counselor, a minor Olympian, or even a monster in disguise, adding a layer of meta-textual excitement for the December 2025 premiere.
The Future of the Demigod: Walker Scobell's Impact
Walker Scobell's portrayal of Percy Jackson has successfully rebooted the franchise, largely due to his authentic connection to the source material and his ability to embody the character's emotional core. His commitment to the role, combined with the series' faithful adaptation of Rick Riordan's vision, has made *Percy Jackson and the Olympians* a flagship show for Disney+.
As Scobell continues to grow, both literally as a teenager and professionally as an actor (a challenge the showrunners are addressing as he gets taller, an amusing parallel to the character’s growth), his upcoming projects will only strengthen his position in Hollywood. With *The Sea of Monsters* set to premiere in December 2025, and major film roles on the horizon, the current Percy Jackson actor is poised for a truly Olympian career.
