Everything you need to know about Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians
The new season adapts the book The Titan's Curse, by Rick Riordan, and follows Percy and his allies on a mission to rescue Artemis and Annabeth Chase from the titan Atlas.
The season will have eight episodes, with the following titles and writers:
- “My Rescue Operation Goes Very Wrong,” by Craig Silverstein
- “An Old Dead Friend Comes to Visit,” by Albert Kim
- "I Learn How to Grow Zombies," by Sarah Watson
- “We Visit the Junkyard of the Gods,” by Tamara Becher-Wilkinson
- “I Have a Dam Problem,” by Shae Worthy
- "I Wrestle Santa's Evil Twin," by Albert Kim
- "I Put on a Few Million Extra Pounds," by Craig Silverstein
- "The Gods Vote How to Kill Us," by Craig Silverstein
The story begins with the return of Thalia, the legendary daughter of Zeus, and is expected to introduce important characters like Nico and Bianca di Angelo — the children of Hades. The adaptation is also expected to condense events from the book, since the series works with fewer episodes than the original chapters.
Throughout the season, Percy faces new threats, including mythological creatures and challenges tied to the gods, passing through locations such as a divine junkyard and the Hoover Dam.
The cast is led by Walker Scobell and also includes Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, Tamara Smart, as well as newcomers Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie.
It will premiere November 20 on Disney+, where the first two previous season are available to watch.
