“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” showrunners Jonathan E. Steinberg and Dan Shotz are in talks to write, showrun and produce a live-action “Power Rangers” series for Disney+ and 20th Century TV, TheWrap has exclusively learned.

Hasbro will produce the series, which will reinvent the franchise for a whole new generation of fans while delighting those who already know and love the world of Power Rangers.

The ’90s TV show, originally called “The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers,” was inspired by a Japanese children’s show, “Super Sentai” (even using footage from that show). It featured five teenagers who gain the ability to “morph” into superheroes known as the Power Rangers, complete with their own mech fighters. A film version of the series that starred most of the original cast was released in 1995, with a second one in 1997 (this one featured only a few original cast members).

The series has had many...

Disney+ has announced an early season 3 renewal for the television adaptation of Rick Riordan's best-selling young adult fantasy series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, even though season 2 won't debut until much later this year.

The adaptation's first season was largely well-reviewed, with several critics complimenting it for being true to the source material. Over 3 billion minutes have been viewed since the premiere of the first season, which consistently led to the show appearing near the top of weekly Disney+ viewership charts.

Production on season 2 recently wrapped this past summer.

The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, about a young boy's self-discovery after finding out he's the son of a Greek god, wrapped up in early 2024. Now, Disney executive Ayo Davis has finally revealed that we'll be watching new episodes in December.

The second season will adapt The Sea of Monsters, the second book in author Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson's series. What's more, Deadline reports that Disney has renewed the show for a third season! Season 3 will be based on the third book in the series, The Titan’s Curse. This officially means that the TV show will get to adapt more of the books than the Percy Jackson movies did when they were coming out in the early 2010s; the movies got as far as The Sea of Monsters before getting cut of.

In the main ceremony, Percy Jackson won best young teen series and directing for a single-camera live-action series “I Accidentally Vaporize My Pre-Algebra Teacher” in a tie with “The Big City” episode of A Real Bug’s Life. It won six more awards in the creative arts ceremony.

Disney's adaptation of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series was truly an unexpected delight for many fans. The beloved book series made it from the page to a Disney+ original in 2023, but of course, just about anything would have been better than the lackluster films.

Say what you might about some of Disney's adaptations, but its track record for book-to-screen projects is pretty solid. Right on the heels of The Lightning Thief, the studio green-lights book three's adaptation before season two even hits Disney+.

Disney+ has announced an early renewal for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, confirming a third season before the second season has aired. The decision reflects confidence in the adaptation of Rick Riordan’s book series, which has been one of the most successful original shows on the streaming platform.

Season 2, which wrapped production in January, is scheduled to premiere in December, two years after the first season debuted. The renewal of Season 3 allows the creative team to continue developing the series without major delays, an approach that co-showrunner Jonathan E. Steinberg has emphasized as a priority.

“Part of wanting to keep the process going is trying to do whatever we can to be ready for it and to know how to have the conversations and to have a plan,” Steinberg said in a recent interview.

All of Percy (Walker Scobell), Annabeth Chase (Leah Jeffries), and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) will take up arms once more in the hotly-anticipated continuation.

In a surprising move, Disney+ announced today that their series Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been officially renewed for Season 3.

Disney also confirmed that Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 will premiere on Disney+ in December.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 now has an official release month.

Congratulations seaweed brain, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” has been renewed for Season 3, several months ahead of its season 2 return

The news came on Friday afternoon, along with the tease that Season 2 of the Disney+ series starring Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri will be released in December on the streamer.

Following the hopes of “Percy Jackson” author and creator Rick Riordan, Season 3 will follow the third book in the series, called “The Titan’s Curse.”

Thank you, demigods worldwide!”

Ahead...

Percy Jackson and the Olympians has received a very early Season 3 renewal.

The series recently wrapped production on its second season, which is slated to debut in December. Season 3 will focus on the third book in Rick Riordan’s best-selling series, The Titan’s Curse.

“We’re so grateful to be continuing the story of Percy Jackson on Disney+. This third season will be new territory for the screen, bringing fan favorites like the Hunters of Artemis and Nico di Angelo to life for the first time,” Rick Riordan said in a statement Friday. “It’s a huge sign of commitment from Disney, and speaks volumes about the enthusiasm with which the fandom has embraced the TV show. Thank you, demigods worldwide!”

While this is an early renewal, it makes sense given Disney is likely looking to expedite further seasons to accommodate the ages of their leads, Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries,...

Disney+ is giving Percy Jackson and the Olympians an early start on its future.

The streamer has renewed the series, based on author Rick Riordan’s quintet of novels, for a third season. The pickup comes well ahead of season two for Percy Jackson, which Disney+ says will premiere in December — two years after the debut of its first season.

“From the moment Percy Jackson and the Olympians debuted, it was clear this series had struck a chord with fans of all ages,” Disney Branded Television president Ayo Davis said in a statement. “With season two set to premiere this December, we’re thrilled to announce that Percy’s journey will continue with a third season. Huge thanks to our incredible cast and creative team, our partners at 20th Television, and our visionary and talented producers who continue to bring Rick Riordan’s world to life with such depth and imagination.

The Lord of the Rings is one of the most iconic and beloved fantasy franchises of all time. That might sound cliché, but there are few more accurate ways to describe this legendary franchise. From Tolkien's masterful novels to Peter Jackson's epic films to Prime Video's fantasy drama series, The Rings of Power, it's safe to say that The Lord of the Rings dominates the fantasy genre at every turn.

The Lord of the Rings might be one of the first series that comes to mind when thinking about epic fantasy media, but it's far from the only good example of the genre. The Rings of Power has some serious competition, especially with television series like Game of Thrones, Loki, and The Boys ongoing or in recent memory. This list will cover 10 television series that are so good that Lord of the Rings fans will probably love them.

In February 2024, Disney+ announced that Percy Jackson and the Olympians would return for a second season. This season will adapt the second book in the Percy Jackson series, The Sea of Monsters, and is set to release in 2025.

Albert Kim has been brought on as an executive producer for the second season, starting in April 2024. Writing for the new season started in March 2023, and plans for future seasons include more focus on Chiron’s disability. The writing for a third season even began in February 2025, showing how big the plans are for the series.

Casting for the second season began in June 2024. During San Diego Comic-Con on July 25, Daniel Diemer was announced as Tyson, Percy Jackson’s half-brother. A few weeks later, on August 10, Sandra Bernhard, Kristen Schaal, and Margaret Cho were confirmed to play the Gray Sisters, with each portraying one of the three sisters: Anger, Tempest, and Wasp,...

The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians premiered on Disney+ in late 2023, telling the story of how young Percy (Walker Scobell) finds out he's actually the son of Greek god of the ocean Poseidon. That season covered the first book in author Rick Riordan's epic fantasy series, The Lightning Thief. The upcoming second season will cover the second book, The Sea of Monsters.

There are five books in Riordan's original Percy Jackson series, plus two more than came out later and explore what Percy and his friends are up to after they've grown up a bit. Everyone wants to see this series make it all the way to the end, but when a show has this many special effects, is this expensive, and takes this long to make, that's not guaranteed.

Happily, Rick Riordan has shared that he and the writers are at least laying the foundations for a third season,...

For most of American television history, viewers could expect long-running shows to release new episodes incredibly frequently. I Love Lucy, for instance, never had even six months off the air between seasons. The same can be said for other top shows throughout the decades, which aired a new season air every year on a fairly strict September-through-May schedule.

This regularity is precisely why American fans joked about how long they had to wait for new seasons of Sherlock when it was airing, as the two-year gaps seemed excruciatingly long. However, that structure, which is more normal across the pond, is now becoming the standard in the States as well. It doesn't seem to matter how many episodes are in the series or what genre it is; new seasons of TV are taking a long time to make.

Here, we break down some of the worst offenders, including series that have...

We still have a fair amount of waiting to do before Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 makes its premiere on Disney+ later this year, but fans will be over the moon to learn that we're already learning about a potential third season. The book series' author and the show's creator and writer Rick Riordan shared an unexpected update that will have you jumping up and down.

Riordan took to social media platform Bluesky on Feb. 25 to reveal that although Disney+ hasn't yet officially renewed Percy Jackson and the Olympians for season 3, the streamer has granted the writing team to open a writer's room and begin working on stories and scripts for the next season. That's exciting news! Like Riordan, we're optimistic about Disney's faith in the show.

Read Riordan's message, which he ended with a "fingers crossed" emoji, below:

"Excited to meet with the Pjo writers' room today to...

We will be getting the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians at some point in the future, and we are excited about the adaptation of the second book in Rick Riordan's book series, The Sea of Monsters. Starring Walker Scobell as the titular character, Percy Jackson, the first season chronicled the events of the first novel, The Lightning Thief, with the Disney+ series earning a strong 91% score from critics and a 79% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. While the second season is yet to premiere, it wouldn't be amiss for some sections of the fanbase to have their heads already turned towards a third season. If you are part of that group, author and executive producer Riordan has some good news for you.

TV adaptations of popular novels and book series can become some of the best and most critically acclaimed television series. Shows like Game of Thrones, You and Bridgerton adapted different book series and quickly became cultural phenomenons. Other shows like Bosch, The Sinner and Sherlock have turned crime books into critically acclaimed crime dramas and procedural series. It's safe to say that TV adaptations of novels and book series won't go away any time soon. And in 2025, fans have many adaptations to look forward to.

There are a lot of book adaptations expected for 2025. While many book adaptations are set to debut on the big screen, fans of TV shows will be happy to know many book adaptations are coming to the small screen as well. Fans who enjoy reading a book before watching a movie or TV show adaptation might have a lot of homework to do this year.

Walker Scobell, the young star of ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians,’ was honored with the Rising Star Award at TVfest, recognizing his impressive performance as Percy Jackson. During an interview, Scobell shared his excitement about a major moment in Season 2, teasing an action-packed episode that fans won’t want to miss.

Scobell revealed that Episode 4 will feature an intense encounter with Charybdis and Scylla, two legendary monsters from Greek mythology. These creatures are known from Homer’s Odyssey, where they terrorized sailors trying to navigate treacherous waters. The inclusion of these iconic beasts suggests that’ Percy Jackson’ Season 2 will continue to raise the stakes with high-intensity action sequences and breathtaking visuals.

What we did in episode four with Charybdis and Scylla. I don’t want to spoil anything but this is probably the biggest [episode]. It’s its own movie to be honest. That was the first table read we did...

Percy Jackson fans who thought the first season could have used more action are in luck. Walker Scobell, who headlines the series as the titular character, recently shared that Season 2 will feature higher stakes and more action sequences.

Speaking with TV Insider, Scobell confirmed that the upcoming second season, which is based on the second entry in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, 2006's The Sea of Monsters, "has a lot more action than last season for sure." The actor continued, "I feel like last season was very much like, we would stay in one place and have [a] conversation and then there’d be an action sequence, you know what I mean? It was awesome. But this season, the stakes are higher for our characters, so it almost feels like there’s never a place where we just stop and talk. We’re almost always doing something, which I...

The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians premiered more than a year ago, becoming an instant hit for Disney+. The success of the first season resulted in a second season being ordered. However, production remains ongoing as filming for the second season began in the fall of 2024 and will end shortly into 2025. The series is based on the written works of author, Rick Riordan, with the first season chronicling the events in the first novel, The Lightning Thief. Season 2 will cover the second novel, The Sea of Monsters, and Walker Scobell, who stars as the titular character, Percy Jackson, has teased that the second season will be markedly different from the first.

Rick Riordan's first Percy Jackson novel, "The Lightning Thief," was first published in 2005, riding on a wave of ultra-popular young adult fantasy literature that persists to this day. One can easily see that the "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" books lift a lot of ideas from J.K. Rowling's blockbuster Harry Potter novels and follow a lot of the same story beats. Both were about young men who, while living unhappy lives among the hoi polloi, discover they actually possess royal blood. Their previously unknown lineages allow them access to worlds of magic and/or deities, which they are able to explore through either a wizards' boarding school (in Harry Potter) or a demigod summer camp (in Percy Jackson).

Both Potter and Jackson also have to face off against intergenerational enemies that are directly linked to their absent parents; with Potter, it was a wizard named Voldemort, and with Jackson,...

The Producers Guild of America had to delay the voting process and nominations announcement for its annual award show due to the Los Angeles wildfires, but the PGA Awards proceeded as planned tonight from the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

And to anyone paying attention to the Oscar race, there was only one conclusion to draw from Saturday night: voters are high on “Anora.” Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winner won the Darryl F.

Walker Scobell, who plays Percy in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, says the second season will make that very clear when it arrives on Disney+ later this year. The upcoming season adapts Sea of Monsters, the second book in Rick Riordan’s bestselling series. But things will feel a little different, and not just because of the story.

Scobell, who was 12 when he was cast, is now 16. He’s taller, his voice is deeper, and he admits that staying true to Percy’s young character while growing up himself has been a challenge.

‘It’s weird playing the same characters we were at 12 when now we’re so much older,’ he shared during Scad TVfest 2025 in Atlanta, where he was honored with the Rising Star Award.

Despite these changes, the season wastes no time picking up the action. Scobell promises ‘a lot more action than last season’ and says the pace never slows down.

“Invincible” is back for Season 3 and boasting the same stellar cast that made the first two so great.

Much of the actors return again to voice their characters based on the Robert Kirkman comic book. Season 3 finds Mark at odds with Cecil all while trying to prepare mentally and physically for the threat of more Viltrumites heading to Earth.

Here are all the “Invincible” characters coming back for Season 3 — and the voice cast behind them.

Universal Pictures has debuted a teaser trailer for the highly anticipated sequel ‘M3gan 2.0.

Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.

Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defence contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia, the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.

New fans of the Percy Jackson and The OlympiansDisney+TV show may be in for a surprise about how emotional and at times depressing the series can be. This is especially true if they decide to turn to the source material, a series of novels, and uncover some moments that may not have been adapted for live-action yet in the Disney+ series or the film adaptations of The Lightning Thief and The Sea of Monsters. The seriesis intended for middle-grade audiences, but it does not pull punches when it comes to emotional moments, particularly sad ones.

This works out very well for the Percy Jackson series, as it highlights the danger that is associated with being a demigod and helps foster emotional connections between the characters and the reader or viewer. There are plenty of incredibly sad moments in the original Percy Jackson book series that fans are clamoring to see in the source material,...
