The author has now confirmed throughhis official Threads accountthatthe writers' room for the coming season is officially underway.
The author, who also serves as executive producer on the series, also noted that early scripts are “in excellent shape.” The author wrote, “A good first day yesterday in the PJO season two writers' room! As I mentioned, we had a mini-room going before the WGA strike to start the scripts, on the assumption we’d get a green light,so we aren’t starting from zero this week.” Riordan then continues to praise the work done so far, saying, “The scripts we have so far are in excellent shape. Can’t wait to see more of Luke, Clarisse, Mr. D is S2. And, of course, Tyson! It was great to see our writing team again. Going back in today!”
