Rick Riordan’s latest Spring update on his blog might hold some clues regarding the potential release date for Season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
In a recent report, it was revealed that Season 1 of Percy Jackson reigned supreme as the most-watched show on Disney+ during the first half of 2024. Surpassing even mighty Marvel projects like Echo and X-Men ’97, Percy and his demigod adventures claimed the top spot in viewership.
With such stellar performance metrics, the renewal of Percy Jackson for a second season came as little surprise. After all, when you’re racking up numbers that even Olympus would envy, a sequel is practically a foregone conclusion.
So, while Riordan’s Spring update may not have offered a concrete release date for Season 2, the overwhelming success of Season 1 suggests that fans won’t have to wait too long before diving back into the world of half-blood heroes and mythical monsters. Keep your swords sharp and your wits sharper, demigods, because the next installment of Percy’s epic journey could be just around the corner.
Percy Jackson season 2 production update
In his May blog post, Rick Riordan dropped some tantalizing hints about the upcoming production of *Percy Jackson and the Olympians* Season 2, suggesting that he’ll be rolling up his sleeves and diving back into the world of demigods come fall.
Riordan hinted at his bustling schedule, mentioning the absence of an in-person book tour for the release of *Wrath of the Triple Goddesses*, the next installment in the Percy Jackson book series. Instead, he anticipates being “back at work producing” the next season of the show, “if all goes according to plan.”
With the release of *Wrath* slated for the end of September, Riordan’s schedule suggests a media tour throughout that month. Meanwhile, his mention of being “back at work producing” during the fall indicates a shift to another location or a change in his current endeavors.
While Riordan doesn’t explicitly mention filming, the term “producing” implies involvement in the next big step of the project: production itself. With pre-production already in full swing, it’s a strong indicator that the gears are turning for the filming phase.
The exact start date for production remains unclear from Riordan’s post, leaving fans to speculate whether it signifies a September kick-off or a continuation from an earlier start. Regardless, it’s safe to assume that some form of filming will be underway throughout the month, bringing us one step closer to the next chapter in Percy Jackson’s epic saga.
When Could Percy Jackson Season 2 Release?
Rick Riordan’s advice to fans to look back at the timeline for Season 1 of *Percy Jackson and the Olympians* provides some intriguing clues about what to expect for Season 2’s production pipeline.
Season 1’s filming journey, which commenced in June 2022 and concluded in February 2023, spanned approximately nine months. This timeline suggests that Season 2’s filming could wrap up in early-to-mid 2025, depending on the exact start date in September.
Considering Season 2 is expected to be slightly smoother sailing in terms of production, Riordan hinted at a potential late 2025 release, rather than pushing into early 2026.
The timing of Season 2’s announcement, roughly eight months before September, aligns closely with the onset of Season 1’s filming. This symmetry could provide a clue as to the trajectory of Season 2’s production.
Once the specifics of September’s role in Season 2’s filming schedule are revealed, fans will have a clearer picture of how closely the two seasons’ production timelines align. This will help in narrowing down the release window, possibly pinpointing a late 2025 to early 2026 premiere date.
In the meantime, fans can dive into the thrilling adventures of Season 1, available for streaming on Disney+, as they eagerly await the next chapter in Percy Jackson’s epic journey.
