Producers Hint at the Possibility of Percy Jackson Season 2
In an interview with CoveredGeekly’s Christopher Gallardo, executive producers Dan Shotz and Jon Steinberg discussed their excitement for a possible second season of the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
They also shared whether they’ve been in talks with the Riordans about it.
Nothing’s been ordered, but there is a lot of excitement and there is not a little bit of mental and emotional energy spent in figuring out what season two look like, so I’ll leave it at that.
Percy Jackson Season 2’s Lastest Updates
Based on Rick Riordan’s bestselling books, the new Disney Plus series follows young Percy Jackson (played by Walker Scobell) as he tries to prevent a war among the Olympian gods.
With glowing reviews and high viewership, Disney confirmed Season 2. Show co-creator and runner Jonathan E.
Steinberg recently revealed at Disney’s TCA panel that Season 2 will feature more Olympian gods.
While few details are available, Steinberg’s comments suggest a deeper exploration of Riordan’s source material. See his full statement below (via Screenrant):
“We are definitely going to see more Olympians [in season 2.] A big part of the show is really exploring that family.”
What Could We Expect from Percy Jackson Season 2?
Unlike the poorly-received Percy Jackson movies, the Disney Plus adaptation’s first season stayed faithful to Riordan’s books, largely due to his involvement as a co-creator.
With Riordan likely staying on for Season 2, it’s expected to continue this trend.
Season 1 covered The Lightning Thief, and Season 2 will tackle The Sea of Monsters.
Here, Percy, Annabeth, and Grover aim to save Camp Half-Blood by obtaining the Golden Fleece to heal Thalia’s sick pine tree.
The new season may introduce characters like Percy’s Cyclops half-brother, Polyphemus.
