Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 has been confirmed.

Disney CEO Bob Iger announced the renewal of Percy Jackson and several other works at the Disney earnings announcement yesterday. According to the Disney earnings announced that day, the total viewing time of Percy Jackson season 1 was over 110 million hours, and the number of viewers was over 20 million.

Last year at the end of the year, the first episode of Percy Jackson season 1 had 13 million viewers. It is evidence that viewers have steadily increased as the series has progressed. Netflix's hit "One Piece" had 18 million viewers in its first week of release. Since Netflix released the entire season of One Piece at once, Percy Jackson season 1 can be seen as being similarly successful.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been well-received by critics as well as viewers. The series currently has a 92% freshness rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Percy Jackson season 1 ended with the protagonists returning Zeus' lightning bolt and the traitor behind it being revealed. Season 1 covered the first novel in the series, "The Lightning Thief." Season 2 is therefore expected to cover "The Sea of Monsters," which corresponds to the second novel in the series. "The Sea of Monsters" will tell more about the "traitor" revealed at the end of season 1 and Kronos, the Voldemort-like figure in this series.

The series is scheduled to be produced for a total of five seasons. Disney wants to grow the Percy Jackson franchise as much as Star Wars or Marvel. In fact, the budget invested in this series is as much as many Marvel or Star Wars projects. It is a high-risk project due to its high production cost, but thanks to the great success of the first season, the possibility of seeing this series for five seasons has increased.
