Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 Casts Resident Evil Star as Zeus’ Daughter Thalia

As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for mythology-infused narratives and a soft spot for well-crafted characters, I am absolutely thrilled to hear about Tamara Smart joining the cast of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2!


Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 has cast Resident Evil’s Tamara Smart as Thalia.

In December 2022, the initial installment of Percy Jackson and the Olympians made its debut on Disney+. This television series is adapted from Rick Riordan’s book series by the same name, and it garnered praise from critics. By February 2024, the show had been renewed for a second season.

It’s been made official through a press statement that Tamara Smart will take on the role of Thalia in the upcoming season of the show.

In simpler terms, Disney described Thalia as a demigod daughter of Zeus who bravely defended her companions at the boundary of Camp Half-Blood. Instead of letting her perish, Zeus turned her into a tree that fortifies the protective shield around the camp. Known for her resilience and spiky personality with a rebellious punk attitude, Thalia is fiercely devoted to her friends and wary of her father’s domain.

What else do we know about Tamara Smart’s role in Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2?

I’m thrilled to announce that I, as a gamer, will be making appearances in the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians! Alongside me, you’ll see Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, and Daniel Diemer gracing the screens. Can’t wait to join this stellar cast!

In the Netflix’s Resident Evil series released in 2022, Smart portrayed a younger incarnation of Jade Wesker. Interestingly, Jade is the daughter of Albert Wesker, who was played by Lance Reddick, who surprisingly also starred as Zeus in Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ first season.

I’m thrilled and filled with gratitude for being part of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians cast,” Smart expressed. “This role is particularly close to my heart, as it allows me to work alongside Lance Reddick once more, playing his daughter Thalia. Given our past conversations about working together again, this opportunity is even more meaningful and important to me. I can feel his spirit guiding me, and I aim to make him proud as we embark on this exciting adventure together.

As an ardent admirer, I’ve had the pleasure of gracing the screens in three remarkable productions: Artemis Fowl (2020), A Babysitter’s Guide to Monster Hunting (2020), and Wendell & Wild (2022). What a thrill it’s been!

In the world of Percy Jackson, Thalia Grace is a crucial character, and therefore, it was essential to find the perfect actress for this role. Rick Riordan commented, “Thalia embodies strength, loyalty, and a rebellious spirit reminiscent of punk culture. When we saw Tamara Smart portray her, we instantly knew she was our Zeus’ daughter. Tamara brought an energy, or as I like to put it, an ‘electricity,’ that truly captures the essence of Thalia Grace.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 is expected to premiere in 2025 on Disney+.
