Are there any plans to cast side characters with more important roles? Will solace can be shown early in s2, maybe learning to heal and use his abilities effetively? And percy seems to know lee fletcher quite well but it wasnt really explored in the books! We can have will pov on how he thinks the quest system is unfair? As demigods often die on them? Like is there a chance for this kind of povs for will in season 2?

I get wanting 'Solangelo' on screen. I'd like to see that too, but that is so very VERY far into the future that it's not something I can even make a guess about. Actors age much more quickly than we can film. Casting a character earlier is tricky, because they will age out of the part too fast. If you figure each season of TV takes a MINIMUM of a year to produce, possibly closer to two years, and the Last Olympian would be four more seasons away, and the Blood of Olympus would be hypothetically nine more seasons away . . . well, you can do the math. That's a long time. And that's assuming we ever get that far into the adaptation process, which isn't something anyone can predict right now.

Hi, I'm a huge fan and can't wait for the show to come in 2024, but do you ever worry whether the cast will be too old for when season 5 comes(assuming the show gets renewed)? I mean they're already 14, and during season 5, wouldn't the actors be in their late teens-mid 20s while the characters are supposed to be 16? I love the cast btw P.S will you be touring Toronto for Chalice of Gods? Thanks, Che

Hello! I love your work (even though it's made me cry multiple times) and I can relate to many of the characters so I have three questions 1) How do you make your characters so relatable? 2) Are you going to add another trans person besides Alex? 3) Will there be a second Percy Jackson musical I'm sorry for asking
