As fans await the highly anticipated season 2 to the hit Disney+ series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, more casting descriptions have surfaced. We have learned through our sources that the series has begun casting the Gray Sisters, alternatively known as the Graeae in Greek mythology. The characters will guest star in the series.
The Gray Sisters are featured prominently in the second entry in the series of novels, Sea of Monsters, which is what the second season will be adapting. We can also report that the series will be deviating from the source material and following a different interpretation of the characters. Rather than depicting them as elderly women, they will be inspired by the Triple Goddess: the maiden, the mother, and the crone.
Tempest will be the youngest sister. Actresses in their late teens and twenties of all ethnicities are being looked at for the role. She is known for being the most playful of the trio. Anger is the middle sister with actresses of all ethnicities in their thirties to fifties being looked at for the role. She is described as being the crankiest of the trio. Casting for the eldest sister, Wasp, is also open ethnicity with actresses in their sixties to seventies being considered for the role. She is the wisest and most experienced sister.
In the source material, Sea of Monsters, The Gray Sisters make their debut when Annabeth Chase hails a taxi as she, Percy, and Tyson, escape the authorities. In the scene, Percy has been falsely accused of torching his school after a battle with the Laistrygonian Giants. The Sisters come into play as they are the ones driving the taxi, while sharing a single eye.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 enters production in August 2024 in Vancouver, potentially setting it up for a 2025 release.
