Netflix has released the new trailer for the second season of its anime series inspired by Greek mythology Blood of Zeus. The story centers on “a young hero, an ancient lineage, and the war of the gods.”
In the series, “In an ongoing war between the Olympians and the Titans, Heron, a commoner living on the outskirts of ancient Greece, becomes humanity’s best hope of surviving an army of evil demons when he discovers the secrets of his past. “
In Season 2: “After Zeus’s death, a power vacuum emerges among the gods, leaving Zeus’ demigod son Heron to struggle to find his place. He is tormented by the loss and hears a mysterious refrain in his dreams, which drives him to save his brother, Seraphim, who is suffering the terrors of the Underworld.
“Unbeknownst to Heron, Hades is trying to enlist Seraph to help him protect Zeus’ vacant throne and save his family from long-standing suffering.”
Heron is the illegitimate son of Zeus and has the power to defeat the evil that threatens to invade the Heavens and Earth. A vengeful goddess tries to kill him and the second season will continue this story.
Blood of Zeus was created by Charley Parlapanides AND Vlas Parlapanides, who also wrote the series. Parlapanides teased the future of the series in a previous interview, saying, “Someone keeps wondering why they don’t see Athena. And the idea is, listen, actually, we see her.”
He added: “We would go five seasons and we see her, there’s footage of her, but it would be a five-season story. And we’ve definitely already worked out a very detailed 20-page outline for season two.”
The cast of the series includes Derek Phillips in the role of Heron, Jason O’Mara like Zeus/Elijah, Claudia Cristiano How it was, Elijah Toufexis like Serafino, Mamie Gummer in the role of Electra, Chris Diamantopoulos like Evios and Poseidon, Jessica Henwick like Alexia, Melina Kanakaredes like Ariana, and Matthew Mercer like Hermes.
