‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ has officially been renewed for a second season following its huge launch numbers.
The series has been streamed for over 110 million hours to date so it’s no surprise that Disney+ has quickly handed it a season 2 renewal. The new season will feature the return of Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri, who will embark on a new adventure based on ‘The Sea of Monsters’ – the second instalment of Rick Riordan’s best-selling ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ book series, published by Disney Hyperion.
“Rich in magic, wonder, adventure, and heart, ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ captivated the imaginations of viewers of all ages everywhere,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television. “We’re thrilled to embark on an exciting new quest and a season two with Rick Riordan, our fantastic partners at 20th Television, and the exceptional ensemble of cast and creative talent that bring this story to life.”
Said Riordan: “I can’t wait to bring the next season of Percy Jackson to Disney+! Raise anchors. Hoist the mainsail. All hands on deck, demigods. We’re heading for the Sea of Monsters!”
One of the top 5 season premieres of 2023, ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ garnered 26.2 million views in its first three weeks on Disney+ and Hulu. As a result of the hit series, the books have returned to number one on the New York Times Bestseller list for Middle Grade series.
