BURBANK, Calif. — “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” has been renewed for a third season, according to a press release from Disney+. The show is based on Rick Riordan’s bestselling book series of the same name.
“From the moment ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ debuted, it was clear this series had struck a chord with fans of all ages,” said Ayo Davis, president, Disney Branded Television. “With season two set to premiere this December, we’re thrilled to announce that Percy’s journey will continue with a third season.”
The third season will be based on Riordan’s “The Titan’s Curse,” the third book in the Olympians series, and will follow the second season which is set to release later this year.
The second season of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” stars Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn and Daniel Diemer. Production recently wrapped in Vancouver, and viewers can look forward to its second season premiere on Disney+ this December.
The highly acclaimed series earned a remarkable 16 nominations at the Children’s and Family EmmyⓇ Awards, with the ceremony set to take place tomorrow in Los Angeles. “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” also won the Kids Choice Award for Favorite Kids TV Show, while its titular star, Walker Scobell, took home Favorite Male TV Star last year. Additionally, series star Leah Sava Jeffries has won two consecutive NAACP Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Youth in 2024 and 2025.
The first season of the show is already available on Disney+ and is based somewhat on the first book in the series wherein the titular character discovers his parentage and goes on an adventure to recover Zeus’ magical lightning bolt.
Riordan said he was grateful for the opportunity to continue working with the Disney team, and that he very much appreciates the fans of the series.
“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,” said Rick Riordan. “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!”
