Percy Jackson’s quests may be full of surprises, but sometimes the biggest twists happen off-screen. A brand-new update from ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ has fans feeling like they stumbled upon a prophecy straight from the oracle. According to the surveys, the debut season ranked among the top five most-watched original series across all streaming platforms. Adapted from author Rick Riordan’s five-book saga, the Disney+ original has only begun to scratch the surface of the story. So even with season 2’s premiere on Wednesday, December 10, viewers are already asking where the adventure goes next.
Months before ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Season 2 graced the screens; it got renewed for a third season earlier in 2025. As per Disney’s press center, President of Disney Branded Television, Ayo Davis, stated, “From the moment Percy Jackson and the Olympians debuted, it was clear this series had struck a chord with fans of all ages. With season two set to premiere this December, we're thrilled to announce that Percy's journey will continue with a third season. Huge thanks to our incredible cast and creative team, our partners at 20th Television, and our visionary and talented producers who continue to bring Rick Riordan's world to life with such depth and imagination.”
Echoing the same sentiment, Rick Riordan added, “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.” ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Season 3 will be adapted from his book ‘The Titan’s Curse’, released in 2007. For the unversed, the story will follow Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell) and his friends as they set out on a dangerous quest.
