Disney+ heard fans’ cries to produce Percy Jackson and the Olympians faster and answered the call. The now Emmy-winning teen fantasy series got renewed for Season 3 on March 14, nearly a year before it returns for Season 2 in December 2025. Star Walker Scobell said that they intend to start filming the third season this year before the second season even comes out. TV Insider has reached out to Disney+ for confirmation on that production timeline, but such an early renewal is a strong sign that production on the third season will begin sometime this year. While we’re a long way away from the premiere of Percy Jackson Season 3, there’s already some noteworthy information about the season provided by author Rick Riordan and the rest of the Pjo camp. Here, we’re compiling every Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 update. Stay tuned here as we continue to report the latest developments.

Disney+ has announced an early season 3 renewal for the television adaptation of Rick Riordan's best-selling young adult fantasy series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, even though season 2 won't debut until much later this year.

The adaptation's first season was largely well-reviewed, with several critics complimenting it for being true to the source material. Over 3 billion minutes have been viewed since the premiere of the first season, which consistently led to the show appearing near the top of weekly Disney+ viewership charts.

Production on season 2 recently wrapped this past summer.

Whenever the discussion about the greatest anime movies and series takes place, the one name that is always on top is Hajime Isayama’s Attack on Titan.

The series is a personal favorite not only for anime fans but also for many prominent celebrities, including Walker Scobell, the young actor known for The Adam Project and the Disney+ fantasy series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. The American actor recently expressed his love for Attack on Titan in an interview and pointed out that it is the best television show of all time.

The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, about a young boy's self-discovery after finding out he's the son of a Greek god, wrapped up in early 2024. Now, Disney executive Ayo Davis has finally revealed that we'll be watching new episodes in December.

The second season will adapt The Sea of Monsters, the second book in author Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson's series. What's more, Deadline reports that Disney has renewed the show for a third season! Season 3 will be based on the third book in the series, The Titan’s Curse. This officially means that the TV show will get to adapt more of the books than the Percy Jackson movies did when they were coming out in the early 2010s; the movies got as far as The Sea of Monsters before getting cut of.

THR reports that the “early renewal will allow the show’s writers and crew to begin work on the third installment, which, in turn, could potentially cut down on the time between seasons.”

A return to Camp Halfblood has officially been scheduled. Along with an announcement that the Disney+ original show Percy Jackson and the Olympians has been renewed for a third season of demi-god action, Season 2, based on Rick Riordan's second book in the series, The Sea of Monsters, will premiere in January. The announcement places the arrival of the next adventure around two years exactly after Season 1 debuted to rave reviews for how it adapted the beloved story of The Lightning Thief. All of Percy (Walker Scobell), Annabeth Chase (Leah Jeffries), and Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) will take up arms once more in the hotly-anticipated continuation.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 now has an official release month. The Disney+ show adapts the Rick Riordan book series of the same name, following the adventures of young demigods Percy (Walker Scobell) and Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) and their satyr protector Grover (Aryan Simhadri). Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 was officially renewed in February 2024, less than a month after the season 1 finale aired on January 30.

Now, Disney+ has officially announced that Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 will premiere in December, though they have not yet revealed the exact day when it will debut. This news also comes paired with the reveal that the studio has also renewed the show for season 3, which will adapt the events of The Titan's Curse.

Congratulations seaweed brain, “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” has been renewed for Season 3, several months ahead of its season 2 return

The news came on Friday afternoon, along with the tease that Season 2 of the Disney+ series starring Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries and Aryan Simhadri will be released in December on the streamer.

Following the hopes of “Percy Jackson” author and creator Rick Riordan, Season 3 will follow the third book in the series, called “The Titan’s Curse.”

Ahead...

Percy Jackson and the Olympians has received a very early Season 3 renewal.

The series recently wrapped production on its second season, which is slated to debut in December. Season 3 will focus on the third book in Rick Riordan’s best-selling series, The Titan’s Curse.

“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,” Rick Riordan said in a statement Friday. “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!”

While this is an early renewal, it makes sense given Disney is likely looking to expedite further seasons to accommodate the ages of their leads, Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries,...

Disney+ is giving Percy Jackson and the Olympians an early start on its future.

The streamer has renewed the series, based on author Rick Riordan’s quintet of novels, for a third season. The pickup comes well ahead of season two for Percy Jackson, which Disney+ says will premiere in December — two years after the debut of its first season.

Though a release schedule is not yet known, Season 3 will be based on The Titan’s Curse, the third book in Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series.

The superhero series, starring Charlie Cox and Vincent D'Onofrio, originally ran for three seasons on Netflix, concluding in 2018. It's the 13th TV series in the canonical Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians premiered on Disney+ in late 2023, telling the story of how young Percy (Walker Scobell) finds out he's actually the son of Greek god of the ocean Poseidon. That season covered the first book in author Rick Riordan's epic fantasy series, The Lightning Thief. The upcoming second season will cover the second book, The Sea of Monsters.

There are five books in Riordan's original Percy Jackson series, plus two more than came out later and explore what Percy and his friends are up to after they've grown up a bit. Everyone wants to see this series make it all the way to the end, but when a show has this many special effects, is this expensive, and takes this long to make, that's not guaranteed.

Happily, Rick Riordan has shared that he and the writers are at least laying the foundations for a third season,...

The Percy Jackson and the Olympianstelevision series has completed principal photography, according to showrunner and writer Rick Riordan. In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, the Percy mastermind confirmed significant progress in the show's development for Season 2 and beyond.

"We've wrapped principal photography. We are in post-production. Everything's going really well." Riordan stated, promising a smooth progression for the Disney+ adaptation of the YA fantasy series. "I've seen cuts of the first two episodes. They are phenomenal, and that's even without any special effects yet. I'm really pleased with it."

Riordan's comments do more than just a promising Season 2, he calls the shot outright, adding "I think the second season is going to be even better.

We still have a fair amount of waiting to do before Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 makes its premiere on Disney+ later this year, but fans will be over the moon to learn that we're already learning about a potential third season. The book series' author and the show's creator and writer Rick Riordan shared an unexpected update that will have you jumping up and down.

Riordan took to social media platform Bluesky on Feb. 25 to reveal that although Disney+ hasn't yet officially renewed Percy Jackson and the Olympians for season 3, the streamer has granted the writing team to open a writer's room and begin working on stories and scripts for the next season. That's exciting news! Like Riordan, we're optimistic about Disney's faith in the show.

We will be getting the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians at some point in the future, and we are excited about the adaptation of the second book in Rick Riordan's book series, The Sea of Monsters. Starring Walker Scobell as the titular character, Percy Jackson, the first season chronicled the events of the first novel, The Lightning Thief, with the Disney+ series earning a strong 91% score from critics and a 79% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. While the second season is yet to premiere, it wouldn't be amiss for some sections of the fanbase to have their heads already turned towards a third season. If you are part of that group, author and executive producer Riordan has some good news for you.

TV adaptations of popular novels and book series can become some of the best and most critically acclaimed television series. Shows like Game of Thrones, You and Bridgerton adapted different book series and quickly became cultural phenomenons. Other shows like Bosch, The Sinner and Sherlock have turned crime books into critically acclaimed crime dramas and procedural series. It's safe to say that TV adaptations of novels and book series won't go away any time soon. And in 2025, fans have many adaptations to look forward to.

There are a lot of book adaptations expected for 2025. While many book adaptations are set to debut on the big screen, fans of TV shows will be happy to know many book adaptations are coming to the small screen as well. Fans who enjoy reading a book before watching a movie or TV show adaptation might have a lot of homework to do this year.

It’s been only a few weeks since Percy Jackson and the Olympians wrapped filming on Season 2, and the stars of the show are already working on promoting its return to Disney+. The first season of Percy Jackson earned a strong 91% score from critics and a 79% rating from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, and was hailed as the most faithful adaptation Percy Jackson fans have had to date. Featuring in the lead role of Percy Jackson is Walker Scobell, who had previously starred alongside Ryan Reynolds and Mark Ruffalo in The Adam Project. During a recent sit-down with Den of Geek at Scad TVFest, Scobell confirmed that the famous Scylla and Charybdis fight is coming in Season 2, and he also teased that it might be the biggest sequence in the show to date:...

More monsters are coming to Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and the stakes will be quite cinematic.

Speaking to Den of Geek, Percy actor Walker Scobell revealed the extent to which season 2 will adapt its The Sea of Monsters' book source material, including some future appearances by some iconic creatures from Greek mythology. In particular, he singled out The Odyssey's Scylla and Charybdis, whom Percy, Annabeth Chase, Tyson, and Clarisse La Rue face off against during their mission to locate Polyphemus' island and the Golden Fleece.

Walker Scobell, the young star of ‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians,’ was honored with the Rising Star Award at TVfest, recognizing his impressive performance as Percy Jackson. During an interview, Scobell shared his excitement about a major moment in Season 2, teasing an action-packed episode that fans won’t want to miss.

Scobell revealed that Episode 4 will feature an intense encounter with Charybdis and Scylla, two legendary monsters from Greek mythology. These creatures are known from Homer’s Odyssey, where they terrorized sailors trying to navigate treacherous waters. The inclusion of these iconic beasts suggests that’ Percy Jackson’ Season 2 will continue to raise the stakes with high-intensity action sequences and breathtaking visuals.

Percy Jackson fans who thought the first season could have used more action are in luck. Walker Scobell, who headlines the series as the titular character, recently shared that Season 2 will feature higher stakes and more action sequences.

Speaking with TV Insider, Scobell confirmed that the upcoming second season, which is based on the second entry in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, 2006's The Sea of Monsters, "has a lot more action than last season for sure." The actor continued, "I feel like last season was very much like, we would stay in one place and have [a] conversation and then there’d be an action sequence, you know what I mean? It was awesome.

With the second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians beginning filming in the fall of last year, there is still some time before we get to see our heroes back onscreen. Based on the written works of Rick Riordan's series of best-selling books, the series earned a second season renewal, shortly after the first premiered. The series follows the journey of the demigod, Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), as he goes about discovering the mythical world and family feud he was born into. Joining him on his quests are his friends, Grover (Aryan Simhadri), and Annabeth (Leah Jeffries).

The first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians premiered more than a year ago, becoming an instant hit for Disney+. The success of the first season resulted in a second season being ordered. However, production remains ongoing as filming for the second season began in the fall of 2024 and will end shortly into 2025. The series is based on the written works of author, Rick Riordan, with the first season chronicling the events in the first novel, The Lightning Thief. Season 2 will cover the second novel, The Sea of Monsters, and Walker Scobell, who stars as the titular character, Percy Jackson, has teased that the second season will be markedly different from the first.

Rick Riordan's first Percy Jackson novel, "The Lightning Thief," was first published in 2005, riding on a wave of ultra-popular young adult fantasy literature that persists to this day. One can easily see that the "Percy Jackson & the Olympians" books lift a lot of ideas from J.K. Rowling's blockbuster Harry Potter novels and follow a lot of the same story beats. Both were about young men who, while living unhappy lives among the hoi polloi, discover they actually possess royal blood. Their previously unknown lineages allow them access to worlds of magic and/or deities, which they are able to explore through either a wizards' boarding school (in Harry Potter) or a demigod summer camp (in Percy Jackson).

Both Potter and Jackson also have to face off against intergenerational enemies that are directly linked to their absent parents; with Potter, it was a wizard named Voldemort, and with Jackson,...

Walker Scobell, who plays Percy in Percy Jackson and the Olympians, says the second season will make that very clear when it arrives on Disney+ later this year. The upcoming season adapts Sea of Monsters, the second book in Rick Riordan’s bestselling series. But things will feel a little different, and not just because of the story.

Scobell, who was 12 when he was cast, is now 16. He’s taller, his voice is deeper, and he admits that staying true to Percy’s young character while growing up himself has been a challenge.

‘It’s weird playing the same characters we were at 12 when now we’re so much older,’ he shared during Scad TVfest 2025 in Atlanta, where he was honored with the Rising Star Award.

Despite these changes, the season wastes no time picking up the action. Scobell promises ‘a lot more action than last season’ and says the pace never slows down.

These demigods, they grow up so fast. And it will be very evident when Disney+’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians finally returns for Season 2 later this year, says star Walker Scobell. The long-in-production adaptation of Sea of Monsters, the second novel in author/series co-creator Rick Riordan’s catalog of YA myth-hits, “starts off in a little bit of a different place, at least for Percy, than the book, just because of how much bigger I’ve gotten,” Scobell tells TV Insider backstage on the Scad TVfest 2025 at the Savannah College of Art and Design’s Atlanta campus. “And I would say he’s a little bit happier than he is in the book…I feel like he’s definitely changed a little bit since we last saw him.” Cast when he was 12 to play the son of Poseidon (Toby Stephens), Scobell is now 16, has a much deeper voice,...

Logan Lerman could see a future for himself on Percy Jackson and the Olympians... again.

Per TikTok, IMDb interviewed Lerman about his role in 20th Century Fox's ill-fated Percy Jackson movies and whether he'd be interested in making a cameo in the Disney+ series alongside new Percy actor Walker Scobell. "Yeah, of course," he said, adding, "I mean, that hasn't, you know, no conversation's happened. But yeah, I mean, yeah why not?" Lerman also discussed his positive relationship with Percy Jackson's TV cast, describing Scobell as "like a friend. We talk and text from time to time, and they're really, you know, sweet group of kids. Really talented and yeah, nice people."

As 2025 dawns, fans of several sci-fi and fantasy shows may be worried about incoming cancellations!

As great as it is to see a lot of sci-fi and fantasy shows rising up in the last few years, there's always the risk of some series ending sooner than expected. 2024 saw a lot of shows axed, many after just one year. That includes highly anticipated series like The Acolyte, Dead Boy Detectives and more. The same could happen in 2025, with several shows potentially on the chopping block.

Some are obvious due to lower viewership. Others may be huge and seemingly successful, but various factors could work against them. Here are 15 genre shows in danger of getting canceled this year.

Clarisse La Rue will be a major player in Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2. Creator Rick Riordan confirmed this in a Goodreads Q&a after one fan asked what he's excited to see in Disney's continuing adaptation.

Is it possible for a franchise to be both underrated and wildly beloved? When it comes to literature for kids and middle grade readers, the answer is a clear "yes." A few massive pop cultural flashpoints aside, modern kid lit seems to be full of super-popular titles that earn millions of young fans but barely register on the radar of adults. Rick Riordan's "Camp Half-Blood Chronicles" appears to be one of these. The books, which center on the sassy son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson, and the friends and rivals he meets at a camp for demigods, have more than 180 million copies in print, according to Disney. However, if you're over the age of 35, you may not have heard of them -- until about a year ago.
