Disney+ Screens Percy Jackson Season 3 at Comic-Con
Disney+ screened the first few minutes of Season 3 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” at San Diego Comic-Con and announced it will premiere on Nov. 20, according to event disclosures. Adapting Rick Riordan’s third book, “The Titan’s Curse,” the upcoming season follows Percy Jackson, played by Walker Scobell, alongside Grover Underwood, played by Aryan Simhadri, and campers at Camp Half-Blood. The group embarks on a mission to save Annabeth Chase, played by Leah Sava Jeffries, and the goddess of the hunt Artemis, played by Dafne Keen, from the Titan Atlas, played by Holt McCallany.
Opening Scene Details and Character Return Dynamics
The season opens with Thalia Grace, played by Tamara Smart, battling a monster in a parking garage. According to the screened footage, Percy joins her to help defeat the creature, though Thalia expresses annoyance and states she doesn’t need his help. Once the battle concludes, Annabeth arrives and admits she asked Percy to come because they need Thalia’s help to rescue two demigods—presumed to be Nico and Bianca di Angelo—and bring them to Camp Half-Blood. Tension between Thalia and Percy persists from the end of Season 2, with Percy openly admitting he doesn’t want the daughter of Zeus to join them, before Thalia drives away.
Cast Additions and Returning Talent for Season 3
Returning cast members for the third season include Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan, Daniel Diemer as Tyson, and Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse La Rue. During the panel, Walker Scobell stated he believes Season 3 is the most book-accurate adaptation the team has produced so far.

Season 2 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” adapted Riordan’s second book, “The Sea of Monsters.” Following the conclusion of Season 1 in early 2024, fans experience a double release schedule this year after Season 2 wrapped up this past January.
