While audiences wait for the second season ofPercy Jackson and the Olympiansto announce its alleged 2025 arrival, there are many questions up in the air. The biggest one at this point is — willSeason 2be the end, or will the production team keep going into Season 3? When it comes down to it, the decision hinges on a few factors. For one, it will need to continue the momentum that it held during its debut season. Also, Disney will need to be on board, and the creative team and cast will also need to be game for another set of episodes. Should everything fall into place, a third season ofPercy Jackson and the Olympiansis all but guaranteed. One man certainly hoping for a continuation is the project’s co-creator and showrunner,Jonathan Steinberg.
Recently catching up with The Hollywood Reporter, Steinberg weighed in about the possibility ofcontinuing the story into a third installment. Promising that the door was being held open for the show’s future, Steinberg said,
“We’re definitely talking. Part of wanting to keep the process going is trying to do whatever we can to be ready for it and to know how to have the conversations and to have a plan. Nothing’s official yet, but we assumed when we left Vancouver that we would be back at some point — soon, hopefully.”
The sound you just heard was the sigh of relief fromPercy Jackson and the Olympiansfans around the world. It certainly sounds promising for the future of the show that the studio and the creative heads have been chatting about moving forward with the next chapter — no pun intended. But, of course, “nothing’s official yet.” Still, because the series is based on the belovedRick Riordan-penned book series, there areplenty of tales left to telland adventures left to go on should Disney move forward with Season 3 and beyond.
What We Know About Season 2
With its release set for later this year, there’s plenty left to discover about the follow-up season ofPercy Jackson and the Olympians. Like its showrunner, the production’s cast hasn’t shied away from giving fans some insight into what’s to come. In fact, series star,Walker Scobell, previously told TV Insider thataudiences could expect “a lot more action”in the upcoming set of episodes, adding,
“This season, the stakes are higher for our characters, so it almost feels like there’s never a place where we just stop and talk. We’re almost always doing something, which I think it fits this book perfectly. There’s just so much at stake for our characters.”
Percy Jackson and the Olympiansis now streaming on Disney+.
