By Disney has confirmed a trio of actresses and comedians have joined the cast of the second season live-action adaptation of the Rick Riordan fantasy novel series “Percy Jackson”.
Production has just kicked off in Vancouver on the second season of the series which released its first run late last year on the Disney+ service.
According to Comicbook.com, Sandra Bernhard, Margaret Cho and Kristen Schaal will all play the Grey sisters in the show. Bernhard is Anger – the impatient Gray Sister in charge of collecting cab fare from heroes who call upon the taxi.
Schaal is Tempest – who currently has the coveted eye shared between the sisters and uses it to peer at the Heroes, read their future, and teasing them about their life choices.
Finally, Cho is Wasp – the main driver of the Gray Sisters Taxi who takes the heroes on a high-speed and hair-raising journey to Camp Half-Blood.
The next season will be based on Riordan’s second Camp Half-Blood Chronicles book titled “The Sea of Monsters”.
They join returning cast members Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse La Rue, Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan, Virginia Kull as Sally Jackson, Glynn Turman as Chiron, and Toby Stephens as Poseidon.
Also onboard is Daniel Diemer as Percy’s cyclops half-brother Tyson. The series hails from executive producers Rick Riordan, Jon Steinberg, Dan Shotz, Rebecca Riordan, James Bobin, Bert Salke, Monica Owusu-Breen, Jim Rowe, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, and D.J. Goldberg.
