Percy Jackson
The production of the chariot race scene in season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians left showrunner Jonathan E. Steinberg genuinely concerned for the safety of the young actors. Despite meticulous planning, the intense sequence involving horses and high-speed turns tested the crew's limits. Steinberg shared these insights in a December 2025 interview with SFX Magazine.

The season 2 finale of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, now streaming on Disney+, introduces a major deviation from Rick Riordan's Sea of Monsters book by revealing that Zeus turned Thalia into a tree as punishment rather than to save her life. This change heightens the stakes for the series, setting up an uncertain alliance with the resurrected demigod. A first look at season 3 confirms its return later in 2026, based on The Titan's Curse.
