Based on the hit book series by Rick Riordan, Percy Jackson and the Olympians has proven to be equally successful as a Disney+ original series, garnering over 26 million views and critical acclaim, partially due to incredible performances from Walker Scobell as the titular hero, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood, Virginia Kull as Sally Jackson, Toby Stephens as the Greek god Poseidon, and the late Lance Reddick as Zeus.
Needless to say, fans love the Percy Jackson TV show and want to see a second season. However, there has been no word from Disney whether the series has been renewed. Despite this, showrunners Jon Steinberg and Dan Shotz seem optimistic.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians has proven to be a massive success for Disney+, becoming one of the most streamed original series in the history of the platform. However, the Walt Disney Company has still not decided whether they want to greenlight a second season or not.

At least that’s what he said in an interview with Variety after revealing that the writers’ room has already made great progress on season two.
