After Blood of Zeus created a stir in 2020, there has been almost no mention of a second season in the years that have passed. Many fans thought that Netflix might have abandoned the series.
Thankfully, Netflix's Geeked Week 2023 has revealed that the long-awaited second season is set to be released in 2024.
A teaser trailer was also released, which confirmed that a full-length trailer will be released tomorrow.
Blood of Zeus is an American animated fantasy television series that follows Heron, the demigod son of Zeus, as he battles a demonic army in order to safeguard humanity. The show was created by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides.
With his newfound abilities, Heron must set out on a treacherous quest to stop a powerful army under the command of Hera and Seraphim, his own half-brother, from destroying the planet. He has to unify the Greek people against the approaching battle, learn how to harness his powers, and win the approval of the other gods.
The animated series Blood of Zeus is visually spectacular, action-packed, and covers a lot of intriguing topics. For those who enjoy fantasy adventures and Greek mythology, it is an essential viewing, despite some noticeable shortcomings.
The first season was animated by Powerhouse Animation Studios, along with the Korean animation studios MUA Film (formerly known as Moi Animation) and Hanho Heung-Up Co.
In a previous interview with Collider, executive producer Charley Parlapanides teased what season 2 would explore with the introduction of Hades in the season 1 finale.
"But to be clear, like we don't see Hades as a villain. If you know Greek mythology, he was actually one of the more kind of level-headed ones. And that moment at the end is meant to be more kind of like a Sysiphus or Prometheus type ending, where, you know, the eternal kind of punishment that you might have to face the thing that you despise the most is the thing that you have to repeat over and over again. But there are clues in the first season, in shots, and in moments that allude to more in the underworld and more with Hades, and that, you know, we have so many directions and things and stories we want to tell, that will involve him."
There's still no concrete release date for season 2 but the teaser trailer does confirm that it will be released at some point in 2024.
