Lots of #percyjackson news from #sdcc yesterday, including the casting of these fantastic actors: Levi Chrisopulos as Nico di Angelo and Olive Abercrombie as Bianca di Angelo. Can't wait to see them bring these characters to life in season three with absolutely no heartbreak or tragedy whatsoever!

My weekend assignment: Signing tip-in sheets, which will then go to Mark Oshiro, then bound into the books as they are printed. This edition is for indie bookstores, as you can see on the pages. No details when/how to order yet. At least my hand is better enough to sign! (my usual scrawl, anyway)

A busy week ahead! Team PJOTV continues to edit episodes of s2 while outlining scripts for s3. They're working from an outline I provided, breaking Titan's Curse into episodic structure. I'm giving notes at each stage. Also working on the 3rd new Percy novel + 3 other things I can't talk about yet!

Naturally, we will be looking for a Nico di Angelo who closely resembles the original Disney-Hyperion promotional art from 2007, since I know that is everyone's favorite depiction. 😏

Guys, we found the dam snack bar. rickriordan.com/2025/03/perc...

Well, just watched an early producers' cut of PJOTV episode 203. Yes, demigods! The excellence continues. Long way to go in post-production, but the cast and crew have done such a great job on this season. Can't wait for you to see it!

Yesterday, we had our first PURELY HYPOTHETICAL absolutely-nothing-confirmed "what if" conversation about what the casting might look like for Nico di Angelo if/when we get to move forward on season 3, and although it was just a thought exercise, I'm not going to lie, I still got chills. 🤞☠️

Good first meeting with the PJO writers' room! It's the same team as season two, which is great because they did a fantastic job. Only issue: Becky and I joined via Zoom, and they were having donuts. Now I want donuts. (Yes, I am basically Blackjack.)

Excited to meet with the PJO writers' room today to discuss potential plans for season three. This does NOT mean the third season is green-lighted yet, but we have been cleared to start a room and begin planning scripts, because assuming the show DOES go forward, we have to start now. Optimistic.🤞

Congratulations to the cast and crew of Percy Jackson TV for wrapping principal photography! Many more months of post-production still to go, but this season is going to be awesome!

‘PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS’ Season 2 will wrap filming today.

This is hardly a major plot point, but yesterday we had a macaw on set. Every time I walked past his holding area (green room?) he said hello to me and whistled loudly. So if you hear a macaw catcalling in the background in any of the final scenes, that's probably my fault.

Walker has been ready to be.. a guinea pig 🐭⚡

Yesterday I met the guinea pigs. It was a good day. (Percy Jackson season two. If you know, you know.)

Huge congratulations to the cast and crew of Percy Jackson and the Olympians for 16 Children's and Family Emmy Award nominations, the most for any single show! Having seen early cuts of the first episodes for season 2, I can promise even greater things are on the way! variety.com/2024/tv/news...

Happy birthday to our own Percy Jackson, Walker Scobell, who is sixteen today! (even though his character will not be allowed to turn sixteen for several more seasons 😬) Can't wait for you all to see the work he is doing for PJOTV season two, because he is crushing it!
