Disney+ has just announced an early renewal of Percy Jackson and the Olympians for a thrilling third season, even as we eagerly await the premiere of Season 2 this December. The company must have a lot of faith in the series to renew it this far ahead of Season 2. The next season promises to bring Rick Riordan’s beloved characters and mythology to an even larger audience.
Disney+ Renews Percy Jackson and the Olympians
Season 1 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians introduced viewers to a rich world of mysticism and adventure, following the young demigod, Percy Jackson, as he discovered his divine heritage and embarked on his first quest. The show, streaming on Disney+, captivated audiences with its fresh take on Riordan’s series, which was previously adapted into films. Now, with Season 2 on the horizon, anticipation is mounting for what’s next.
Season 2 is set to adapt The Sea of Monsters, the second novel in Riordan’s series, and promises to heighten the stakes as Percy and his friends embark on a dangerous journey to retrieve the fabled Golden Fleece. Set to debut this December, this season will feature Daniel Diemer as Tyson, Percy’s cyclops half-brother, alongside returning cast members Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Dior Goodjohn, and Charlie Bushnell.
What To Expect From Season 3
But the adventure doesn’t stop there! With Disney+’s announcement of a third season renewal, the excitement is palpable. Based on “The Titan’s Curse,” the third book in the series, Season 3 will delve into uncharted territory for the show, adapting previously unshown material. Fans are eagerly anticipating the introduction of beloved characters like the Hunters of Artemis and Nico di Angelo, bringing new dynamics and fresh energy to the screen. The show’s creator and author of the original novels, Rick Riordan, couldn’t be more thrilled.
“We’re so grateful to be continuing the story of Percy Jackson on Disney+. This third season will be new territory for the screen, bringing fan favorites like the Hunters of Artemis and Nico di Angelo to life for the first time. It’s a huge sign of commitment from Disney, and speaks volumes about the enthusiasm with which the fandom has embraced the TV show. Thank you, demigods worldwide!”
The cast and crew have also expressed their excitement and gratitude. At San Diego Comic-Con, Walker Scobell and Leah Sava Jeffries shared how Season 2 allowed them more freedom to explore their characters deeply. “It feels older. It feels comfortable, but different,” Scobell noted, while Jeffries added, “It’s definitely hyped up some.”
The show’s renewal on Disney+ highlights the platform’s commitment to delivering quality content that resonates with audiences of all ages. For Percy Jackson fans, the show is a nostalgic dive into a world of myth, adventure, and friendship that speaks to the demigod in all of us.
