Can you help us understand how Percy series renewal process works? Does the producing team request season by season, or request to renew for following 4 seasons? Or do the producers not request at all and it’s up to Disney? It would be amazing if season 2&3 were written/shot back to back since the timeline is so tight between the two books/different season:) loved the show and (not so) patiently waiting renewal news!

As soon as I figure out how the renewal process works, I'll let you know! As far as I can tell, it various widely from studio to studio, show to show. Most of the time, it is not something we formally request. Obviously, most production teams want to do more seasons. It's really up to the studio and the network of any given show to decide what they will renew and for how long, because they have to weigh the costs (they are footing the bill) against the return (how many eyeballs tune in to watch). As you have probably seen with most shows and most networks, the executives tend to be very careful and conservative about making such decisions because of the amount of money that is on the line. Making a show is mind-bogglingly expensive.

Rick Riordan:
The Greek Gods are very known for being "human" deities with stuff like Pride, Envy, and Lust (mostly Zeus in that regard) dotting their stories. Did that particular characterization of the Pantheon make you lean towards writing about them (especially with the parent and child dynamics) first or did you always plan on tackling Egyptian and later Norse gods also, how was your day?
