Percy Jackson and the Olympians, one of the biggest new shows onDisneyPlus, may not have been renewed for season 2 yet, but things are looking hopeful for fans – a writers' room for the next installment is already up and running.

According toVariety, showrunners Jon Steinberg and Dan Shotz say the writers' room for the next season is “making great progress”. Steinberg told the publication, “There is an awareness on everyone’s part that the demand for the show seems to suggest we should probably not stop making it.”

Based on Rick Riordan’s beloved book series, the series follows 12-year-old demigod Percy (Walker Scobell), whose father is the water god Poseidon, as he’s accused of stealing Zeus' thunderbolt. Plunged out of his normal life into the world of Greek mythology, Percy finds himself at Camp Half-Blood, a summer camp for other young demigods. He’s joined on his ensuing adventures by his best friends, Athena’s daughter Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries), and Grover (Aryan Simhadri), a satyr. The supporting cast includes Lance Reddick, in one of his final roles, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Megan Mullally, Jason Mantzoukas, and Jay Duplass.
