Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 Is Already Being Worked On Author Confirms
Author Rick Riordan has confirmed that work on the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is already underway. He revealed that the writers' room for season 2 has started, and they are currently breaking down the action from the second book, "The Sea of Monsters," into episodes and outlining what the first episodes will look like.
"[W]e have started work on the writers’ room for season two. This does NOT mean the second season has been green-lit yet. It’s too early for that. But we have been approved to start developing scripts, and I think everyone’s expectation is that a second season will happen if all goes as planned. It sure is exciting to be part of the room, though. We’ve broken down the action of the second 'Percy Jackson' book, 'The Sea of Monsters,' into a series of episodes, and have begun outlining what the first episodes would look like."
The series follows the story of Percy Jackson, a young boy who is a half-blood, with one of his parents being a Greek god. The first season of the show will adapt the first book in the series, "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief." Unlike the movie adaptation, which received criticism for not staying true to the source material, the new Disney+ series is expected to be more faithful to Riordan's original narrative.
In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Riordan expressed his excitement for the TV format, which allows for a more comprehensive adaptation of the books, providing the fans with the story they've been waiting for.
