Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Tamara Smart Cast as Thalia Grace, Exclusive Comments From Rick Riordan

As a dedicated fan who has grown up with Percy Jackson and his mythical adventures, I can hardly contain my excitement! The casting of Thalia Grace, the daughter of Zeus, is a dream come true for many of us who have eagerly anticipated this moment since the first season ended. Tamara Smart, known for her role in Resident Evil, seems to embody the fierce and resilient spirit that Thalia possesses.


In the ongoing narrative of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” the cast from Camp Half-Blood expands further. This TV series, based on Rick Riordan’s popular books, primarily focuses on Walker Scobell’s character, Percy Jackson, who is a demigod. Simultaneously, it delves into the tales of other children born to Mount Olympus’s powerful deities. Initially, in “The Lightning Thief,” Percy, the son of Poseidon, was believed to be the only offspring of the Big Three (Poseidon, Zeus, Hades). However, as the main series unfolds, it gradually becomes clear that there are also other demigods roaming the human world, who share lineage with the god of lightning and the god of the dead.

The daughter of Zeus has been found.

According to TheWrap, Tamara Smart has been chosen to play Thalia Grace. In the book “Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Sea of Monsters,” which serves as the basis for Season 2 of “Percy Jackson,” Thalia is a significant character, being the daughter of Zeus. Her background was discussed by Luke (Charlie Bushnell) with Percy (Walker Scobell) in Episode 2 of Season 1 of “Percy Jackson.

Before the happenings of Season 1, I, a demigod named Thalia, was ambushed by monsters on my journey to Camp Half-Blood. Fortunately, Zeus intervened and transformed me into a tree, providing Camp Half-Blood with a magical shield. In The Sea of Monsters, someone maliciously poisons my tree, causing a band of demigods to embark on an adventure to the titular ocean in search of The Golden Fleece, an enchanted artifact that can restore life to its wearer. In the story, The Golden Fleece miraculously reanimates me from within the tree itself. It remains uncertain whether Percy Jackson Season 2 will feature me only in the finale episode or if I’ll also appear in flashback scenes.
