When Will Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 Premiere?

There Will Still Be A Long Wait For More Percy Jackson

If the season’s post-production schedule means that its Disney+ release similarly follows its wrap by an additional nine and a half months, the earliest the new season can be expected is mid-February 2026.

Although this production kickoff already takes place six months after thePercy Jackson and the Olympiansseason 1 endingaired,this doesn’t mean that the wait for the season 2 premiere is anywhere near over. Because the mythological show features many gods and monsters, it requires a great deal of special effects, so production takes slightly longer than the average live-action show and many additional post-production requirements cause significant delays. Below, see the precedent set by the production timeline of season 1:

June 28, 2025

August 23, 2025

If season 2 follows more or less the same production and release pattern, principal photography will take about eight months. This means that season 2 can be expected to wrap around the beginning of April 2025. If the season’s post-production schedule means that its Disney+ release similarly follows its wrap by an additional nine and a half months,the earliest the new season can be expected is mid-February 2026. However, the streamer may fast-track the show to aim for another holiday season premiere date, meaning it could premiere in December 2025.

However, the wait for a possible season 3 could potentially be shorter if Disney+ plays their cards right. The young actors at the core of thePercy Jackson and the Olympianscastare rapidly outgrowing their roles, so the popularity of season 1 and the buzz around season 2 may give producers the confidence to quickly roll into production on the next season. This would behoove the show, as there are five books worth of story to cover before the title character’s sixteenth birthday.
