You didn’t miss anything: The second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Disney’s very charming adaptation of Rick Riordan’s very popular book series, hasn’t aired yet. In fact, it isn’t due to arrive until December, which is quite a long wait between seasons (especially when your young audience grows so quickly!). But Disney is committed to these tales of gods and half-bloods, and has already renewed the series for season three.
The third season will be based on the third book in the series, The Titan’s Curse, in which the goddess Artemis goes missing. This is, of course, only one of the problems Percy and his friends will have to wrangle.
According to a Disney press release, Percy Jackson “was one of the top five most-watched original series across all streaming after its December 2023 launch.” It was nominated for more than a dozen Children’s and Family Emmy Awards, and star Leah Sava Jeffries, who plays Annabeth, has won two NAACP Awards for her work on the show.
Along with Jeffries, Percy Jackson stars Walker Scobell as Percy, Aryan Simhadri as Grover, Glynn Turman as Chiron, Jason Mantzoukas as Dionysus, Charlie Bushnell as Luke, Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse, and Virginia Kull as Sally Jackson. Season two also stars Daniel Diemer as Percy’s half-brother, Tyson. The series is created by Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, and returns to Disney+ in December.
