After many years of waiting, a television adaptation of Rick Riordan’s beloved Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series finally arrived in 2023.
The show, which wrapped up its first season last year, has officially been renewed for a second season, with a “new storm rising” according to the teaser.
If you’re not familiar with the story, fans were first introduced to the titular Percy Jackson, a 12-year-old boy who discovers he’s the son of the Greek God Poseidon, back in 2005 with the release of the first novel, The Lightning Thief.
After becoming a smash hit, the novel received its first film adaption in 2010, starring The Perks of Being a Wallflower’s Logan Lerman, followed by a second instalment, Sea of Monsters, in 2013.
