If the 2000s gave us some of the best children’s media of the century, then the 2010s spent a lot of time trying and failing to adapt them to the big screen. Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender got a much-derided live-action remake in 2010, as did the first book in Rich Riordan’s seminal YA series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Those films both live on as a black mark in their respective fandoms, a sign of everything that shouldn’t be done with a beloved property. After 10 years, both franchises are trying again — and while Netflix’s Avatar reboot is proving how hard it is to shake old habits, Disney’s Percy Jackson remake has become the paragon of adaptations done right.
After two solid seasons, Percy Jackson and the Olympians has more than lived up to expectations. And with three books left in the mainline series to adapt, the adventures of its title hero (played by Walker Scobell) are only just beginning. Here’s everything we know about the next season of Percy Jackson, from its potential release date to the new characters joining the fray.
