Alice (God’s Lovely Ballerina) asked Rick Riordan:

Will we ever get a screen adaptation of Heroes of Olympus, even if we used different actors?

Rick Riordan At present, no one can possibly know the answer to this, including me. As I've said before, I'd consider it a huge win if we can just get five seasons of Percy Jackson made, covering the five original books. The first season was a huge hit, which helps a lot, and I'm pretty sure viewers will like the second season even more, but in the current environment, how many shows can you think of that have lasted for five seasons or more? A few, yes, but not many. Hopefully PJO will get that chance, but no one knows yet -- not me, not Disney, not anyone.

Now consider how many shows have lasted for five seasons and remained SO successful that they spawned a sequel series that also lasted five seasons? That's an even rarer event. It's hypothetically possible for us, I guess, but it all depends on the continued success of the first series, which no one can predict.

Since Heroes of Olympus happens after PJO, you'd really need to finish airing PJO the TV series before you could launch Heroes. Otherwise the story wouldn't make much sense. So . . . again, just hypothetically, IF we got the remaining three seasons for PJO green-lit one after the other, and IF we filmed and released them as quickly as possible, it would still be years before anyone was even ready to discuss a sequel series like Heroes of Olympus. We'll just have to wait and see. Meanwhile, I'll be doing everything I can behind the scenes to help PJO keep moving forward and exploring other potential adaptations of my books, but nothing is certain!
