War threatens to engulf Olympus yet again in Blood of Zeus Season 2 - the follow-up to Netflix's anime-inspired Greek mythology series. Created by the Immortals writers Charley Parlaapanides and Vlas Parlapanides, Blood of Zeus Season 1 offers a brutal and unforgiving world populated by gods and monsters. Here, we follow the exploits of a young man named Heron (Derek Phillips), who goes from life as a humble farmer into a demigod who is the secret son of Zeus (Jason O'Mara).
Relentlessly hunted by a vengeful demon known as Seraphim (Elias Toufexis) and hated by his stepmother Hera (Claudia Christian), Heron and his companions succeed in protecting Olympus. Alas, the seemingly invincible Zeus is killed in the final battle, and now some nefarious forces seek to take over the Pantheon of Gods by force. It's been a long four years since Season 1 of Blood of Zeus, so there is plenty of understandable anticipation for Season 2. To learn more about the mature and gritty Greek adventure, its cast, trailer, and more, here is everything we know about Blood of Zeus Season 2.
