Percy Jackson Boss Reveals The Truth About Season 2: ‘Nothing’s Official’

Summary:

• Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a new Disney Plus adaptation of Rick Riordan's book series of the same name.
• The show, which has been a runaway success since its release, has now aired a final episode of season 1.
• According to showrunner Jonathan E. Steinberg, there is a good chance that Percy Jackson will continue his journey, although nothing is official yet.

When it comes to franchises as beloved by as many people as Percy Jackson and the Olympians, the chances of failure are about equal to the chances of success.

Depending on how closely the team behind the adaptation chooses to follow the original story, and whether the changes make sense for the overall narrative, fans will either accept it or reject it, bombing the ratings with the worst possible reviews.

Both the creative team and the fans of the story must have breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that the new Disney Plus TV show hits all the right notes.

Fast-paced and dynamic, with brilliantly cast characters, the show honors the original novel while adding a few twists to keep things fresh.

With season 1 coming to an end sooner than anyone could have imagined, there's only one question left to answer. What are the chances of Percy Jackson returning to our screens?

Is Percy Jackson and the Olympians Renewed For Season 2?

Luckily for fans of both the original book franchise and its brilliant Disney Plus adaptation, season 2 doesn't seem too far away right now. The show's ratings, along with a wonderful critical response, can work wonders and positively influence executives' decisions on whether or not to renew it.

Jonathan E. Steinberg, the mastermind behind the latest iteration of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, is excited about the future. The showrunner shared his thoughts on season 2 in an interview with TheWrap.

“If I was reading the newspaper about how the show is being received and doing, I think it seems as though something’s probably going to happen. Nothing’s official. There’s a lot of conversations going on. <...> There was definitely a desire and intention to connect this whole season, but really the ending, into a sense of what’s coming in the next books,” he said.

Even better, Steinberg makes no secret of his hope that the number of seasons of the show will match the number of books.

Not only would this make things easier to follow, but it would also assure the loyal fans of the original franchise that nothing important will ever be left out. The only thing the viewers can do now to make it happen is continue to support the show.
