Netflix Renews Blood of Zeus For Second Season

 

Netflix has ordered a second season of the Powerhouse Animation series Blood of Zeus in a rather quick turnaround being that the first season only debuted not even two months ago. In any event, the series featuring Jason O’Mara, Mamie Gummer, Jessica Henwick, Elias Tourexis, and Claudia Christian has more episodes on the way. A third season is also in development.

Blood of Zeus is an American adult animated television series created by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides for Netflix. Set in the world of Greek mythology, the series revolves around Heron, the demigod son of Zeus, trying to save Olympus and Earth. Though Heron himself is a character created for the show, the existence of such demigods born of the union between a god and a human is implied to be common in the original myths. The show claims in its prologue to be one of the tales ‘lost to history’ rather than passed down with our current canon of Greek myths. The show features gods, giants, automata, and mythical mounts from the original tales.

The news comes as Netflix recently brought in Jermaine Taylor from Disney to oversee adult animation at the streamer.
