When does Percy Jackson Season 3 come out?

Season 3 starts on Friday, November 20, 2026. Disney+ announced the date at San Diego Comic-Con in July. That’s a change for the show: new episodes of Seasons 1 and 2 came out on Wednesdays.

Disney+ hasn’t said how many episodes drop on premiere day or what time they go live. We’ll add both as soon as Disney+ confirms them.

What is Percy Jackson Season 3 about?

The Titan’s Curse opens with Percy, Annabeth, Grover and Thalia on a rescue mission at a school in Maine, where two young demigods, Nico and Bianca di Angelo, need to get to Camp Half-Blood. The mission goes wrong, Annabeth disappears, and the goddess Artemis and her Hunters get pulled in.

Disney’s own description centers on “the sudden disappearance of Annabeth” and a Great Prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi. The Titan Atlas is the main villain, and the season moves the series toward an open war between the gods and the Titans. “There’s a war coming between the gods and the Titans,” Percy says in the teaser.

Walker Scobell told the press it’s “definitely our darkest season yet.”

New faces this season:

  • Dafne Keen as Artemis. The goddess of the hunt, and the leader of the Hunters.
  • Saara Chaudry as Zoë Nightshade. Artemis’s lieutenant, an immortal Hunter.
  • Holt McCallany as Atlas. The Titan villain, set to appear in six episodes.
  • Ming-Na Wen as Hera, Jennifer Beals as Demeter and Hubert Smielecki as Apollo. More of the Olympians join the show.
  • Jesse L. Martin as Frederick Chase, Annabeth’s dad, and David Costabile as Dr. Thorn, in guest roles.

Is there a trailer?

Yes. Disney+ showed a teaser and announced the premiere date at San Diego Comic-Con’s Hall H on July 23, 2026, with Walker Scobell, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Tamara Smart, Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie on stage. Leah Sava Jeffries joined by video because she was filming overseas.

How to catch up before Season 3

You only need the two earlier seasons of the show, and both are on Disney+. The 2010 and 2013 movies are a separate adaptation, so you can skip them.

WatchBook it adaptsWhen it aired
Season 1 (8 episodes)The Lightning ThiefDecember 2023 to January 2024
Season 2 (8 episodes)The Sea of MonstersDecember 2025 to January 2026
Season 3 (8 episodes)The Titan’s CurseFrom November 20, 2026

Short on time? Rewatch the Season 2 finale. Season 3 picks up the story from there.

If you’d rather read ahead, the original five books come in this order:

  1. The Lightning Thief (2005)
  2. The Sea of Monsters (2006)
  3. The Titan’s Curse (2007)
  4. The Battle of the Labyrinth (2008)
  5. The Last Olympian (2009)

Will there be a Percy Jackson Season 4?

Not officially, as of early November 2026. Disney+ renewed Season 3 in March 2025, before Season 2 aired, so an early renewal wouldn’t be a surprise. If the show keeps following the books, Season 4 would adapt The Battle of the Labyrinth.
