Based on the beloved Rick Riordan books, the story chronicles the formative years of demigod Percy (Walker Scobell) as he gets to know the wild world of ancient Greek gods to which he belongs.

The series has proven a breakout hit for Disney+, so it's no surprise that a third season is currently in production – and further along than you might expect!

Indeed, with its stars growing up fast and its viewers eager for to see every book put to screen, the team behind Percy Jackson and the Olympians is racing to bring us more episodes as soon as possible.

Here's what we know so far about Percy Jackson season 3 on Disney+.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 does not yet have a confirmed release date on Disney Plus, but there's reason to hope for a faster turnaround on the next episodes.

Of course, there was a long two-year gap separating seasons 1 and 2, but an advance renewal from Disney Plus allowed the third entry to start filming in summer 2025 – meaning its already nearing completion, as of January 2026.

With any luck, Disney+ might be able to bring that wait down to a more manageable 18 months. For now, though, that's just speculation – we'll update this page with more updates on the Percy Jackson season 3 release date as they come in.

"We're so grateful to be continuing the story of Percy Jackson on Disney+," said author Rick Riordan. "This third season will be new territory for the screen, bringing fan favourites 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!"

Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri will return to the Percy Jackson cast for season 3, reprising the roles of Camp Half-Blood kids Percy, Annabeth and Grover.

They'll be joined by a slew of new additions, including His Dark Materials and Deadpool & Wolverine star Dafne Keen as the goddess Artemis, whose kidnapping by Atlas is a key plot point in the third chapter.

Atlas himself is to be portrayed by Holt McCallany, whose recent credits include Netflix dramas The Waterfront and The Lincoln Lawyer, plus action flick The Amateur and tragic biopic The Iron Claw.

Also joining the hit fantasy drama in season 3 is Saturday Night Live and Barbie star Kate McKinnon, who is taking on the role of Aphrodite; another member of the pantheon that Percy crosses paths with in this latest adventure.

Rounding out the new additions are Jesse L Martin (The Flash) as Annabeth's father Frederick, Saara Chaudry (The Muppets Mayhem) as Artemis' top lieutenant Zoë Nightshade, and David Costabile (Billions) as the villainous Dr Thorn.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 is, fittingly, adapting the third book in Rick Riordan's series of novels, titled The Titan's Curse, which sends the main character on a rescue mission.

The book synopsis, courtesy of Penguin, reads: "A powerful goddess has gone missing. The Greek gods are on the brink of war with the Titans. And there's the minor threat of a mystery beast that could destroy Mount Olympus forever.

"This time, Percy's going to need help and he's found two powerful demigods for the job... There's just the small problem of the prophecy. The one that has predicted not all of them will survive. But when you're the son of a Greek god, it happens. Right?"

Percy Jackson star Walker Scobell has already started generating hype for the next season by assuring fans that the adaptation won't be straying far from the beloved source material.

"I think season 3 is... the most book-accurate season we've had yet, just from watching it," he told The Direct. "The book is just perfect to break up into eight episodes. So it's just really worked out so far, and I've been really happy with it."

Is there a Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 trailer?
