Unlike the movie adaptation, author Rick Riordan emphasized that the cast should be closer to the age of the characters in the book. However, with some time spaced out between seasons, the cast and crew are taking it one day at a time. “I think one thing I did not fully appreciate when we started this whole process is how long a season of television takes to produce, especially big television like this,” Riordan told TheWrap. “I didn’t really fully appreciate all the challenges involved. I think I naively thought, ‘Yeah, we’ll hire the kids of the right age, and we’ll do a season a year, no problem.’ But you know, in reality, that’s very difficult to do for a number of reasons.”
