Rick Riordan confirms a separate new series in development, signaling active growth as Disney+ builds on the show’s momentum.

  • At Lucca Comics & Games 2025, Rick Riordan said he is working on a new series in addition to the show’s third season, though details remain under wraps.
  • Season 2, adapting The Sea of Monsters, is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on December 10, 2025.
  • Reports indicate Season 3 is already in production, underscoring Disney’s accelerated timetable for the franchise.
  • Coverage suggests Disney views Percy Jackson as the foundation for a larger, connected mythology franchise, with any Kane Chronicles involvement still speculative and unconfirmed.
