Percy Jackson Star Proposes Splitting Season 5 Into Two Parts

A Percy Jackson and the Olympians The star wants to see the series make a major change for season 5. So far, the Disney+ series is adapting one book per season. Season 1 adapted the first Percy Jackson book, The lightning thiefwhile season 2 adapts The sea of ​​monsters.

In an interview with Liam Crowley for ScreenRantIt is Percy Jackson On the cover of season 2, Aryan Simhadri reveals that he would like season 5 to be divided into two parts. On the current trajectory, season 5 would adapt The last Olympianthe last main part Percy Jackson book series.

Simhadri, who plays Grover, mentioned this after being asked about his interest in directing a future episode, which he said would be “a nightmare” And “awesome.” He also shared his hopes that he and Walker Scobell, who plays Percy Jackson, will be in the writers’ room or serving as producers by Season 4 or 5. Check out his comments below:

It would be a real nightmare (laughs). But I think it would be great. Walker and I always ask that. Every season. They say, “Oh, maybe next season.” But I think it’s a realistic thing between now and Season 4 or maybe Season 5 specifically. I want them to split Season 5 into two parts, but I think by Season 4 or 5, if we could be in the writers’ room or be producers, I think that would be great. We have so many ideas we want to present. Sometimes we want to see the story go a certain direction or see certain additions or see things. We have so many ideas and the writing team is always listening to us, but I have a feeling we would love to be a part of this process. That would be great.

The last Olympian is the climax of the story around Percy, Kronos and the Great Prophecy which begins with The lightning thief. As the end of the original series, and with the conclusion of many storylines and character arcs, it is understandable that Simhadri envisions the series needing to be adapted in two parts.

In terms of equipment to adapt, The last Olympian is the longest book in the main series, but not by far. This raises the question of whether season 5 should be split into two parts, especially if the series continues with all other seasons having eight episodes each.

It’s important to note that the series has not yet been renewed for a season 4 or 5. Season 3 was renewed in March and filming began in August, months before season 2 debuted in December. Between the early renewal and Season 1 breaking Disney+ viewership records, it seems likely that Seasons 4 and 5 will happen as well.

Like the youngest members of the Percy Jackson As the actors grow alongside their characters, they also have the potential to take on more responsibilities within the series. For Simhadri and Scobell, that could involve being producers or being part of the writers’ room, where they can better advocate for something like splitting Season 5 into two parts.

Produce an episode in Percy Jackson and the Olympians Seasons 4 or 5 are also a compelling possibility for Simhadri, even more so if it’s an episode that features a pivotal moment for Grover. He can use his deep understanding of Grover to do justice to the character in front of and behind the camera.
