Percy Jackson and the Olympians creator Rick Riordan has high hopes that the show will earn its season 2. The show is an adaptation of Riordan’s original Percy Jackson book, The Lightning Thief. As Percy discovers his identity as the half-blood son of Poseidon, he and his friends are forced to take a journey to retrieve Zeus’ stolen weapon. The show premiered on December 19.
While season 1 is still ongoing, the cast and crew are still hopeful that Percy Jackson season 2 will earn a renewal. While on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Riordan confirmed that they have not yet received any confirmation that season 2 will come. He has already started working on season 2, but he recommends that viewers spread the word about the series. Check out the quote below, via CBR:
“We are doing what we can to prepare [for] the eventuality that we get the green light. We don’t know. It is not official. You know, we’re getting reactions like we’ve had tonight, amazing reactions everywhere… so, if I was the Oracle, I would say the Auguries are good. But, we had started writing what those episodes would look like, sort of doing a series format, talking about the first few episodes, and that’s about as much as we can do right now until we get the go-ahead. So, the best way to ensure that [the show] goes forward, [is to] tell your friends to tune in to Disney+ and watch.”
