Ealier this year San Diego Comic Con-we learned that Daniel Diemer will by playing young cyclops Tyson, but we're getting a little more casting news coming out of this year's D23.

At the D23 Percy Jackson panel, the show's executive producers Jon Steinberg, Dan Schotz, and Craig Silverstein gave us a little more of a tease of the second season, announcing that the Gray Sisters, the mythological trio of old women, will be making an appearance. 

Playing the Gray Sisters will be comedians Margaret Cho (who will play Wasp), Kristen Schaal (Tempest), and Sarah Bernhard (Anger).
