Percy Jackson Season 2 Recasts Key Demigod Role
11 Dec
Summary
- Chris Rodriguez role recast with Kevin Chacon for season 2.
- Original actor Andrew Alvarez still part of Camp Half-Blood.
- Character's role expands significantly in 'Sea of Monsters'.
The Disney+ adaptation of Percy Jackson is undergoing a casting change for a significant character in its upcoming second season. Kevin Chacon has been tapped to play Chris Rodriguez, the demigod son of Hermes, a role previously credited to Andrew Alvarez in the first season.
This recasting comes as Chris Rodriguez's character is set to become more central to the narrative, particularly in the events adapted from Rick Riordan's novel 'Sea of Monsters.' While Alvarez is no longer playing Chris, he remains involved with the production in a different capacity at Camp Half-Blood.
The show's creative team clarified that Chris's role was initially a background detail, only noted in credits during season 1. This adjustment aims to provide continuity while accommodating the character's expanding storyline and ensuring the best fit for the role as it becomes more prominent.
