Disney+ announced on Saturday at D23 that the sisters — Anger, Tempest and Wasp — will be played by Sandra Bernhard ( Roseanne ), Kristen Schaal ( What We Do in the Shadows ) and Margaret Cho ( All-American Girl ), respectively.
Season 2 — which is on track for a 2025 release — will tackle The Sea of Monsters , the second book in Rick Riordan’s beloved franchise. Fans of the series know the Gray Sisters as a group of old women who share a single eye and tooth. On the TV series, the sisters operate an Olympian taxi service of sorts, and will “give our heroes a ride to camp,” executive producer Jon Steinberg shared.
The casting news comes after Disney+ released the first footage of the forthcoming episodes on Friday, which shows the titular hero taking the chariot reins in what promises to be an eventful season.
