Disney+ has officially announced that Tamara Smart (&#8220;<em>Resident Evil<\/em>&#8220;) will join the cast of &#8220;<em><strong>Percy Jackson and the Olympians<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; as the beloved character &#8220;Thalia Grace,&#8221; daughter of the sky god Zeus. Smart will appear as a recurring guest star in season two of the epic adventure series, alongside series regulars Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, and Daniel Diemer.<\/p>\n<p>Season two of &#8220;<em><strong>Percy Jackson and the Olympians<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; is based on &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XAiaLI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Sea of Monsters<\/a>,&#8221; the second installment in Disney Hyperion&#8217;s bestselling Percy Jackson book series by acclaimed author <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3XBYbMv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rick Riordan<\/a>. &#8220;Thalia&#8221; is the Demigod daughter of Zeus who made her last stand to protect her friends at the edge of Camp Half-Blood. Rather than let her die, Zeus transformed her into a tree that anchors the force field that protects camp. Tough and prickly, with a rebel\/punk sensibility, Thalia is fiercely loyal to her friends and distrustful of her father&#8217;s world.<br \/>\nRiordan added,<\/p><div id=\"morty-2243220045\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Thalia Grace is one of the most important characters in the Percy Jackson universe, so the right casting was critical. Thalia is a powerful warrior, a fiercely loyal friend, and a demigod rebel with a very &#8216;punk&#8217; \/ &#8216;rage-against-the-machine&#8217; sensibility. As soon as we saw Tamara Smart play this role, we knew we had found our daughter of Zeus. She was, no pun intended, electric. Tamara puts the &#8216;grace&#8217; in Thalia Grace!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Smart&#8217;s connection to the role of &#8220;Thalia&#8221; is especially poignant, as she previously worked alongside the late Lance Reddick, who portrayed Zeus in the first season of the Disney+ Original series. Coincidentally, Smart also played Reddick&#8217;s daughter in that previous project. Reflecting on the connection, Smart shared, &#8220;I&#8217;m so grateful and excited to be joining the cast of <em><strong>Percy Jackson and the Olympians<\/strong><\/em>. It&#8217;s so close to my heart. Lance Reddick and I always spoke about working together again, so it&#8217;s that much more special and important to me to play his daughter once more as Thalia, and to keep his memory alive. I feel his presence all around me and strive to make him proud on this exciting journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of &#8220;<em><strong>Percy Jackson and the Olympians<\/strong><\/em>&#8221; is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, Albert Kim, The Gotham Group&#8217;s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group&#8217;s Jeremy Bell and D.J.
