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.

"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 remarked via press release.

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!

Fans of the series have noted that the early season 3 renewal is likely to ensure that the cast does not age out of their respective roles. 

In book 1, Percy Jackson is only 12 and ages only 1 year across the four books that follow.But according to some fans, actor Walker Scobell (16), who portrays Percy Jackson in the show, already sounds and seems much more mature in the season 2 teaser video.

Ayo Davis, President of Disney Branded Television added, "From the moment Percy Jackson and the Olympians debuted, it was clear this series had struck a chord with fans of all ages."

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.”

About Percy Jackson and The Olympians Season 2

His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos.

What's the point? At two years between seasons, the audience will age out before Season 3 premieres.

@Rosraf - It's been a year and some months, and the second season is already ready to release

Tell that to House of the Dragon

@Rosraf - I think the goal is to try and get these big budget shows out more consistently while trying to maintain a high level of quality. In other words shorten the gap so they don't lose the audience.

@BabyLasagna - Season 1 was December 2023, and Season 2 premieres December 2025.

And House of Dragons takes way too long between seasons as well, but at least it's aimed at an adult audience. Percy Jackson is squarely aimed at kids who are going to age out pretty quickly.

@Antitrollpatrol - Just my personal experience, but I haven't not seen any notable increase in quality for shows that take more than 12 (non-cgi-heavy) to 18 (cgi heavy) months between seasons. More often than not, it just seems like either the writers don't know where they are going and take too long to plot it out or they didn't secure the main actors' schedules and have to wait on availability.

I have never read or seen anything Percy Jackson.

I may sniff it and give it a try.

@DocSpock - you're opening a can of worms dipping into it. With 5 books in the og series and 3 in a sequel series as well as 4 spinoff series consisting of 16 books. It's a lot.

@DocSpock - I liked the movies better than the series. But they’re almost as watchable as Harry Potter

I have not ever read or watched anything Harry Potter. I got lucky. My Grandkids all thought that Harry Potter was way too dorky.

Nice , I liked S1 overall so looking forward to more.

I enjoyed season 1 but my god having to wait several years between seasons has me losing interest in most shows fast. How can a streaming service that knowingly struggles to keep subscribers not fast track content faster?

TheVisionary25 - 3/18/2025, 1:30 PM
@AdamBrash3ar - they probably want to see if the viewership is worth the investment they are making these shows but I get yah…

It seems like slowly we are getting a return to more consistent releases for seasons though so hope that continues.

@TheVisionary25 - Yea I get that. But it especially makes it tricky with young stars as they age quickly between seasons and just takes me out of it when we have to act like its the next week show wise but 3 years later in real life.

Thankfully they are already filming.

Season 1 started off rough, acting-wise, but I feel like the little tikes settled in, and the show became rather enjoyable.

TheVisionary25 - 3/18/2025, 2:09 PM
@MyCoolYoung - yeah ,I could see that.

It’s kind of the Harry Potter effect haha.

@TheVisionary25 — damn, is that why I didn't enjoy Prisoner of Azkaban as much as a child upon subsequent viewings as an adult?😳

This property aims for a younger audience than my sensibilities typically enjoy, but my wife likes the books so she convinced me to watch it.

Easily one of the better live action D+ shows and ready for more. Hoping they expand the universe, as it would be fun to see the other pantheons, specifically the Egyptian gods.
