The third season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians introduces a darker narrative tone compared to the previous two installments, as revealed through a newly released trailer. The season centers on Percy undertaking a rescue mission after Annabeth is abducted, requiring him to complete several dangerous tasks including freeing a imprisoned goddess, confronting a Titan’s curse, and preventing the destruction of Mount Olympus. Grover accompanies Percy on this dangerous journey, joined by additional allies who help him face a prophecy with significant stakes.
The cast for season three includes returning performers Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth, and Aryan Simhadri as Grover. Charlie Bushnell and Tamara Smart continue as Luke and Thalia respectively. Levi Chrisopulos joins the main cast as Nico di Angelo. Established cast members Dior Goodjohn, Daniel Diemer, Glynn Turman, Courtney B. Vance, Jason Mantzoukas, Beatrice Kitsos and Kevin Chacon return in their previous roles.
The season brings several new additions to the ensemble. Olive Abercrombie portrays Bianca, Dafne Keen plays Artemis, and Saara Chaudry takes on the role of Zoë Nightshade. Additional newcomers include Jesse L. Martin as Frederick Chase, Holt McCallany as Atlas, David Costabile as Dr. Thorn, and Kate McKinnon as Aphrodite. Ming-Na Wen joins as Hera, Jennifer Beals as Demeter, and Hubert Smielecki as Apollo.
The series was created by Percy Jackson author Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg. Executive producers on the third season include Dan Shotz, Craig Silverstein, and Rebecca Riordan, alongside representatives from production company The Gotham Group and additional production staff. Percy Jackson and the Olympians premieres Nov. 20 on Disney+, with episodes releasing on a twice-weekly schedule over four weeks.
