Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been officially renewed for a third season. The announcement was made today by Disney Branded Television and 20th Television, ahead of the season two debut, coming to Disney+ this December.
The third season will be based on The Titan’s Curse, the third installment of Rick Riordan’s bestselling Percy Jackson and the Olympians book series, published by Disney Hyperion.
“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. 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.”
“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 in a statement. “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!”
It was previously revealed that the Percy Jackson writers’ room was already outlining and writing season three. Now, it is nice to have early confirmation of a renewal. Percy fans will be able to sit back and enjoy season two without any worries of a looming cancellation. The early renewal also means we could see season three sooner, and there won’t be as much of a waiting period in between seasons.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians was one of the top five most-watched original series across all streaming after its December 2023 launch, according to Nielsen. The series was the top Disney+ original in 2024.
On the social media front, the #percyjackson hashtag earned over 1 billion views on TikTok in the U.S. in the first month of its first season run, while series-owned social handles have amassed a cumulative 4.6 million followers.
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.
Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, season two of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is executive produced by Steinberg and Dan Shotz alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, Craig Silverstein, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Bert Salke, The Gotham Group’s Jeremy Bell and D.J. Goldberg, James Bobin, Jim Rowe, Albert Kim, Jason Ensler and Sarah Watson.
The second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians stars Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn and Daniel Diemer. Other additions to the cast in the second season include Tamara Smart, Andra Day, Sandra Bernhard, Kristen Schaal, Margaret Cho, Rosemarie DeWitt, and Aleks Paunovic, among others. Courtney B. Vance will play Zeus, taking over the role from the late Lance Reddick.
So far, it seems like Disney is doing what it needs to do to make Percy Jackson a top-tier franchise for the Mouse House.
Production recently wrapped in Vancouver, and Percy Jackson fans can look forward to the season two premiere on Disney+ this December.
