Renewal Confirmed
Disney+ has greenlit Percy Jackson and the Olympians for a third season, continuing the streamer’s ambitious adaptation of Rick Riordan’s beloved fantasy series. The announcement comes shortly after the conclusion of Season 2, which left fans eager for news about the franchise’s future.
Season 3 will adapt The Titan’s Curse, the third book in Riordan’s saga, bringing new challenges and higher stakes for Percy and his companions.
Walker Scobell on Season 3
Series lead Walker Scobell, who plays Percy Jackson, shared his excitement in a recent interview with The Direct. He revealed that the upcoming season will be the “most book-accurate” installment so far, noting that the novel’s structure fits seamlessly into the show’s eight-episode format.
“I’ve really been happy with it,” Scobell said. “Season 3 is bigger and much more intense. If Season 2 elevated Season 1, then Season 3 takes it to an entirely different level.”
A Darker Turn for Percy
Scobell hinted at a more personal storyline for Percy in Season 3, with his character “locked onto that specific goal.” Minor spoilers from the book suggest that Percy’s motivation will be tied to Annabeth, who is presumed dead.
“This time, his drive is personal,” Scobell explained, teasing a deeper emotional arc that will test Percy’s resilience and leadership.
Context and Legacy
Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, the Disney+ series has been praised for bringing the world of demigods, Olympian gods, and mythological quests to life for a new generation. With each season, the show has grown in scale and intensity, earning strong fan engagement and critical acclaim.
What Happens Next?
While production is underway, Disney+ has yet to announce a release date for Season 3. Fans can expect updates in the coming months as filming progresses. Scobell also speculated that if the series continues into Season 4, it will build on the same upward trajectory.
For now, viewers can stream Seasons 1 and 2 on Disney+, with Season 3 promising to deliver the most faithful and emotionally charged adaptation yet.
