Percy Jackson and the Olympians co-showrunner Dan Shotz teased the significance of the unexpected Easter eggs that will be featured in the upcoming Disney+ series.During a recent interview with EW, Shotz confirmed that Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 will include several characters from the other books of the Camp Half-Blood Chronicles book series as a way to set up the show’s potential future seasons. “Rick [Riordan] didn’t know exactly what the fifth book would be when he was writing the first book,” Shotz said. “But we have the benefit of being able to bring in things from the later books to tease what’s to come down the road.
