Percy Jackson & The Olympians Season 2 Filming Wrap Confirmed By Rick Riordan: "This Season Is Going To Be Awesome"
Percy Jackson & The Olympiansseason 2 has officially wrapped. Based on Rick Riordan's books, season 2 is poised to adapt its sequel, The Sea of Monsters. The show stars Walker Scobell as the titular character, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood. All three young actors are expected to return for Percy Jackson season 2, with Rosemarie DeWitt (C.C.) and Daniel Diemer (Tyson) joining as newcomers.
In his latest post on BlueSky,author Rick Riordan announced that principal photography is already done. He congratulated the cast and crew but emphasized that the production is not quite over since there are "many more months" of editing, VFX work, and other important phases. Still, the author stated that "this season is going to be awesome!" and had nothing but excitement about the announcement. Check out his announcement below:
Congratulations to the cast and crew of Percy Jackson TV for wrapping principal photography! Many more months of post-production still to go, but this season is going to be awesome! — Rick Riordan (@rickriordan.bsky.social)2025-02-01T15:29:25.059Z
What Riordan's Announcement Means For Percy Jackson Season 2
The Next Season Is Coming This Year
The next season should be coming surprisingly quickly. Season 1 was greenlit in January 2022, filming began on June 2, 2022, and it ended on February 2, 2023. The release date, however, did not come until December 19, 2023, indicating a long post-production cycle. If Percy Jackson season 2 follows a similar schedule, thenew episodes may not be released until December 2025. Season 2 was renewed in February 2024, so there has only been about a year to write, cast, and film for the upcoming episodes.
Because Disney has not yet greenlit season 3, it is likely that it will also have a two-year production cycle. Writing can take place at the same time as filming, but it would not be the only major delay since the editing and visual development process are lengthy. This is an extremely CGI-heavy show, which means that VFX artists will spend the next few months working diligently to create believable battles. Water is especially difficult to animate, so a Sea of Monsters adaptation will, understandably, take ample time.
Our Take On Percy Jackson Season 2's Production Announcement
It Is Already An Amazing Step
While this is certainly not a release announcement, a production wrap is always an exciting step. Post-production can now begin in earnest, as editors, VFX artists, and Riordan work together to match the vision of showrunners Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz. With one major phase finished, Percy Jackson & the Olympians season 2 is now tangibly closer to meeting its anticipated release window. It may not be a trailer release, but it is the next best thing for Disney's most-watched show in 2024.
