Disney+'s Percy Jackson and The Olympians brings all the mythical action to life in season 1, and now it has been renewed for season 2. Based on the best-selling series of young adult novels by author Rick Riordan, the TV show follows young Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) as he comes to grips with the revelation that he is a demi-god, and attempts to assimilate into the world of myths and legends. Noted for its close adherence to Riordan's novels, Disney+'s take on the story attempts to rectify many of the problems of the failed film series from the 2010s.

With so much care put into the first season, it comes as no surprise that Percy Jackson and The Olympians has received glowing reviews that speak to the overall quality of the production. While season 1 is still fresh in the minds of fans, speculation has begun about the future of Disney+'s latest hit, and there is plenty to work with in subsequent seasons. Percy Jackson and The Olympians season 2 seemed like a foregone conclusion for the executives at Disney+, and now that confidence is warranted by a renewal order.

As predicted, Disney+ wasted no time in renewing Percy Jackson and the Olympians for a second season, and the only surprise is that it didn't come sooner.

Though Disney+ hasn't announced plans after season 2, fans should expect the show to stick around for a while.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 concluded on January 30, 2024.

Production would carry on throughout 2024, and it wasn't until February 2025 that author Rick Riordan revealed that season 2 had wrapped filming. Despite this, there is still an extensive post-production phase still to come, and Disney plans to release the series in December 2025.
