‘Percy Jackson’ star teases Tyson’s fate and fans have every reason to worry
'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' fans will have quite the scare in Episode 4, and the update comes from the stars themselves. Per Episode 3, 'We Board the Princess Andromeda,' the storyline saw Waljer Scobell's Percy, Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries), and Tyson (Daniel Diemer) quickly getting on and off a cruise ship led by Luke(Charlie Bushnell). In the upcoming chapter titled, Clarisse Blows Up Everything, fans might have reason to worry about Tyson's future.
In his interview with Decider, Diemer's words hinted at his character in dire straits. "We’ll see if he survives. Who knows?" Diemer said. "It’s a scary world out there, and in the Sea of Monsters, anything can happen. So hopefully, fingers crossed, he comes out the other side. But we’ll see."
"I hope that we’ve kind of built enough kind of emotional connection to the boy that if anything were to possibly happen, that tears could be falling," Diemer added when asked whether or not fans might be having an emotional moment. But at the same time, there’s so much excitement around it too; it’s also a really fun episode, as well.” Bushnell and Simhadri shared their two cents. "It ends on such a good cliffhanger,” Bushnel added, with Simhadri chiming in: "I’m excited for people to see Episode Four."
Earlier, the actor had shed light on preparing for his character. "I wanted to be really honest and dedicated to the source material and respect the character that he was in [The Sea of Monsters, the second Percy Jackson book], but also use where I am as well and add the complexities of somebody that grows up on the street, somebody that’s dealt with monsters for years,” Diemer told THR. "I think we found a really nice balance between the innocence and the naiveté, this extremely lovable, heartfelt energy that he moves through life with, and these complexities."
After Episode 4, Season will still have four episodes remaining with the finale, 'The Fleece Works Its Magic Too Well' set to air on Disney+ on January 21. The logline for season 2 reads, "Demigod Percy Jackson leads a quest across America to prevent a war among the Olympian gods."
