Percy Jackson and the Olympians just finished its first season in style, and the story that awaits viewers in season 2 will be even more action-packed… except there’s a problem.
After weeks of shenanigans among the Olympian gods and an epic journey for our trio of heroes, the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series has closed the door on the adaptation of Rick Riordan’s first book.
This was not the first attempt to appropriate the story on our screens: a film had attempted the adventure in 2010, before suffering both critical and financial failure. Disney+ preferred to take precautions, and in the end, the presence of the author to supervise a series format was a winner.
But all good things must come to an end and the first season is now over. However, spectators are already impatient at the idea of seeing Percy and company again. Unfortunately, there is a slight problem regarding the second season of the series.
Percy Jackson gets an update for season 2, but there’s a dark side
Rick Riordan’s literary saga has six novels, so it’s no surprise that the writers have already considered some adaptation ideas for a season 2.

This is what one of the co-showrunners, Jon Steinberg, confirmed at the microphone of Variety: “Everyone realizes that with such demand for the series, we should not stop produce it.”
Despite everything, the writers may have made “great progress” on the sequel, but the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series has not yet been officially renewed by Disney+.
The first season, however, left events hanging: Percy technically failed in his quest despite detouring through Mount Olympus, and Luke, the son of Hermes who had taken the boy under his wing at the beginning, turned out to be the true thief of the iconic objects of Hades and Zeus.
After declining Luke’s offer to join Chronos’ ranks, Percy will have to prepare for a confrontation.
While waiting for an announcement from Disney+, the entirety of season 1 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is available on the streaming platform.
