LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Blood of Zeus' Season 1 dropped on Netflix in 2020 and fans have waited since then to follow the adventures of Heron, the demigod son of Zeus.

'Blood of Zeus' is an adult animated fantasy action series based on Greek mythology. Heron, the demigod is tasked to save the world from a demonic army, which leads to an epic war between gods, mortals and demons.

After keeping fans waiting for almost four years, Netflix finally released Season 2 of the popular series on May 10, 2024.

As all episodes dropped at once, fans are gearing up for a weekend binge-watch and are already sharing their thoughts based on what they've seen.

'Blood of Zeus' Season 2 brings joy to anime fans

'Blood of Zeus' is a dynamic blend of anime and mythology. Season 1 of the Netflix series opened to rave reviews and since then fans have been waiting for further seasons.

As their prolonged wait finally comes to an end, fans have taken to X to share their opinions and excitement.

Someone called 'Blood of Zeus' a "great alternative Greek Gods animated series" mentioning that "Season 1 and 2 are consistent."

Fans are appreciating the in-depth exploration of the Hades (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) in the latest season.

Mentioning the same, a fan tweeted, "I’m glad Hades is actually getting the adaption and depiction he deserves and not treated as a stereotypical villain associated with death/black colors being evil when he never was."

"Interesting to see Hades takes his rightfully place as king of the gods. Kratos is a Greek mythology but not technically a demigod but a spirit that represents strength, but be awesome to have the ghost of Sparta TV show that shows he's story,” added another fan.

Expressing empathy towards Hades, a fan mentioned, "I will like to issue Hades an apology. Having watched season 2 of Blood of Zeus on Netflix, Hades had good reason. Hades did what he did because he and his hot smoking wife, Persephone, couldn't stand 6 months of separation every year. Yeah, I'm sympathetic to that."

"Blood of Zeus is for real?! Are they giving me Hades and Persephone's children?!! Not a single tv show ever mentions they have children. And the 3 judges?! Media rarely uses Aeacus and Rhadamanthus. Team Hades! May the entire cast and crew of this show be blessed for eternity," reads another tweet.

Waiting to watch the season, an eager fan tweeted, "I can't wait to see this new season, and hope you'll be renewed for a season 3, there's a lot of potential."

What happens in 'Blood of Zeus' Season 2?

In Season 2 of 'Blood of Zeus', viewers witness Heron dealing with the aftermath of Zeus' death and the power struggle among gods.
