When Does ‘Percy Jackson & the Olympians’ Season 3 Premiere?
San Diego Comic-Con 2026 brought a boatload of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 updates that thrilled fans. For starters, the premiere date was announced, and it’s a month earlier than expected. Plus, a first-look teaser (above) revealed the design of the sky that titan Atlas (Holt McCallany) is cursed to hold up for eternity, but it was Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) bearing the heavy burden.
Season 3 is the first onscreen adaptation of Rick Riordan‘s Titan’s Curse, book three in the five-part Percy Jackson series. Scobell says the show is getting more intense this season.
“It’s definitely our darkest season yet,” Scobell told Entertainment Weekly. “When you’re reading the books, the first [The Lightning Thief] gets you into it, and then The Titan’s Curse is when it really hooks into the meat of the story.”
Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season.
Is there a Percy Jackson Season 3 trailer?
There’s no official trailer yet, but you can check out the first teaser in the video above.
When does Percy Jackson Season 3 come out?
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 premieres on Friday, November 20, on Disney+. (The Season 2 finale credits promised that the series would return in 2026.) The season is eight episodes long. The previous two seasons premiered in December of 2023 and 2025, and new episodes came out on Wednesdays.
What are the Percy Jackson Season 2 end-credits scenes?
The first shows Percy (Scobell) and Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) dancing at a school dance to “Until I Found You” by Stephen Sanchez.
The second scene returns to C.C.’s spa, where Circe (Rosemarie DeWitt) was presenting statues of Percy and Annabeth and offering an accelerated course to defeat the sirens, taking credit for Percy and Annabeth’s success in that trial.

Who is in the Percy Jackson Season 3 cast?
Stars Scobell, Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri (Grover) are returning. Dior Goodjohn (Clarisse) and Charlie Bushnell (Luke) will return as well, in addition to Glynn Turman (Chiron), Toby Stephens (Poseidon), Daniel Diemer (Tyson), Courtney B. Vance (Zeus), and Virginia Kull (Sally).
Ming-Na Wen is Hera, Jennifer Beals is Demeter, and Hubert Smielecki is Apollo. They will make their debuts in Season 3.
Hera is “queen of Olympus, and wife to Zeus. She is the goddess of marriage and family, so the infidelity of Zeus rankles her,” the character description says, per Variety. “Regal, maternal, and no-nonsense, Hera is the only god besides Zeus who has children who are also members on the Olympian council, which gives her leverage in the family politics.”
Demeter is “the goddess of agriculture, the harvest, and the cycle of life and death. A respected sister of Zeus, Demeter remembers the war against the Titans very well, and will do what she must to prevent the return of her father Kronos (Nick Boraine).”
Apollo is “the dazzling and charismatic god of the sun as well as music, poetry, archery, and prophecy. The literal golden boy of Olympus and twin brother to the goddess Artemis, the moon to his sun.” Artemis is played by Dafne Keen in Season 3.
Wen is the voice of Disney’s Mulan and is also known for The Mandalorian, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and more. Beals is most known for playing Bette Porter on the fan-favorite series The L Word. Smielecki is a model and actor who played an important role in Ransom Canyon on Netflix.
Percy Jackson found its Atlas in Mindhunter alum McCallany. Atlas is the big villain of The Titan’s Curse. He’s the titular cursed titan.
Joining McCallany, Wen, Beals, and Smielecki as new faces in Season 3 are Jesse L. Martin as Frederick Chase (Annabeth’s human father) and David Costabile as Dr. Thorn. As previously announced, Kate McKinnon is set to play the Greek goddess of love and beauty, but the goddess doesn’t have fixed forms, so it’s possible that multiple actors could play her. In Titan’s Curse, Percy has to save Annabeth and the goddess Artemis after they’re both kidnapped by Atlas.
McCallany will be a recurring guest star and the primary villain of Season 3. According to Deadline, Atlas will appear in six episodes of the season. Costabile will be a recurring guest star, while Martin will be a guest star.
Atlas, also known as the Bearer of Heaven, “was condemned by Zeus to hold up the celestial heavens after the last Titan war against the Olympians,” per the character description. “Atlas has recently been freed from his burden and now seeks to lead the armies of Kronos in a war of vengeance.” Atlas will remain a major antagonist after Season 3 (the series has not been renewed for Season 4 as of the time of publication).
Dr. Thorn is a “stern military academy headmaster who demands obedience from his students.” The character evolves beyond that, but we’ll avoid spoilers here. Frederick Chase is “a sometimes absentminded but truly brilliant military historian that Athena deemed worthy to parent her daughter,” the description says. “Though Frederick and Annabeth have had a complicated relationship, he loves her, and they have been finding a way back to each other.” Annabeth’s (Leah Sava Jeffries) mother is the goddess Athena, played by Andra Day, who makes her series debut in Season 2.
Aphrodite “can alter her appearance depending on the beholder,” according to the character description (via Variety), and “must be sure that Percy Jackson respects the power and importance of love before she agrees to offer aid on his quest.”

Fan-favorite book characters Nico and Bianca Di Angelo are making their debuts in Season 3. The series revealed the actors playing the sibling children of Hades at San Diego Comic-Con 2025. Nico and Bianca are played by Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie.
Keen and Saara Chaudry have been cast as Artemis, the Greek goddess of the moon and the hunt, and Zoë Nightshade, an immortal hunter and Artemis’s lieutenant, per The Hollywood Reporter. Both characters are important in The Titan’s Curse book. Zoë is the daughter of Atlas and Pleione in the novel.
Artemis “prefers the freedom of the outdoors to the politics and formality of Olympus,” per a character description. “Her immortal hunters are her constant companions, and she has little contact with mortals, making her a bit out of touch with modern human culture. She is regal and an honorable fighter who will stand up to grave challenges.”
Zoë is the “loyal lieutenant to Artemis and first among the immortal hunters. She has been at Artemis’ side for more than 2,000 years,” per the character description. “She is a strong warrior and sometimes overly serious in ways that amuse the demigods, but she is also a crucial quest member, willing to strive and sacrifice for the good of all.”
TV Insider was first to report that fan-favorite book characters, Charles Beckendorf and Silena Beauregard, will be series regulars in Percy Jackson once the characters are introduced. The Percy Jackson creators did not reveal when Charles and Silena will make their debuts, but it’s possible they could be in Season 3.
Is Percy Jackson renewed for Season 4?
As of the time of publication, Percy Jackson has not yet been renewed for Season 4. Given the success of the series, however, a renewal seems imminent.
