Percy Jackson creator Rick Riordan has shared some perception into the manufacturing hole between seasons 2 and three. Disney+ has already renewed its YA fantasy adaptation months earlier than the discharge of Percy Jackson season 2, resulting in questions concerning the filming and launch timeline for the follow-up.
In an interview with ScreenRant’s Liam Crowley for the franchise’s twentieth anniversary, Percy Jackson & the Olympians creator Rick Riordan shared some perception into the tv adaptation’s manufacturing. He shared that “It is the hope that we can get season 3 out more quickly than we did between 1 and 2.”
Riordan defined that Disney+ and twentieth Century Studios have dedicated to urgent ahead with the venture already, and that everybody understands that transferring alongside extra rapidly is right, so long as it isn’t on the detriment of the standard. That is the objective for each the creator and the manufacturing crew, however solely time will inform whether or not it could actually occur.

Rick Riordan has been across the block lengthy sufficient to know that something can occur in Hollywood, and nothing is for certain. That mentioned, it means one thing that he would put this remark on the market, revealing that they are attempting to leap into season 3 at a faster charge.
The everyday turnaround time for blockbuster TV reveals like Percy Jackson or different high-budget fantasy titles is round two years, a divisive pattern in 2020s tv. This issues greater than ever, although, when the present is centered round a forged of kid actors who’re supposed to look a sure age.
Watching the actors develop alongside their characters is a part of the enjoyment of a present like this, however what the studio and audiences evidently don’t desire is for Percy Jackson to have a beard and graying hair by season 3, when he is imagined to be twelve. It is good to know that Riordan and the crew at Disney are conscious of the urgency right here.
Season 1 aired in December 2023 and was renewed simply eight days after it resulted in February 2024. Manufacturing then did not start till August 2024, therefore the December 2025 launch date for season 2. The early renewal means the present can hopefully start months earlier, doubtlessly aiming for an early 2027 season 3.
Disney+ has the chance to set an instance for the remainder of Hollywood by providing audiences a 12-month turnaround for a present of this scale. With audiences annoyed about delays for titles like Home of the Dragon, Disney’s Percy Jackson & the Olympians may excel by providing the quickness that different streamers aren’t.
