Disney+ Drops First Full Trailer for Percy Jackson Season 3 — Premieres November 20
Disney+ has released the first full trailer for Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, with a premiere date set for 20 November. The trailer shows Percy, played by Walker Scobell, grappling with a dream about the Great Prophecy before delivering a blunt warning: "Something bad is coming." Variety
The official synopsis lays out the stakes. When Annabeth Chase is captured by the forces of Kronos, Percy must rescue her, free a chained goddess, confront the Titan's curse, and avoid triggering the fall of Olympus — with Grover by his side. Leah Sava Jeffries plays Annabeth, Aryan Simhadri returns as Grover Underwood, and Dafne Keen joins the cast as the goddess Artemis. Variety
Several familiar faces are back. Charlie Bushnell returns as Luke Castellan, Daniel Diemer as Tyson, and Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse La Rue. The season also introduces new Greek gods to the ensemble: Hubert Smielecki as Apollo, Kate McKinnon as Aphrodite, and Ming-Na Wen as Hera. Variety
Fans got an early taste last month. The cast and crew screened the first few minutes of Season 3 at San Diego Comic-Con in July, opening with Thalia Grace battling a monster. A shorter teaser — carrying the tagline "The Titan's curse is upon us" — debuted at the same event. Mashable; YouTube
At that Comic-Con panel, Scobell told the audience he believed Season 3 would be the most book-accurate adaptation the show has produced so far. That matters to a fan base that has tracked the series closely since the original Rick Riordan novels launched in 2005. Variety
Riordan created the television adaptation with Jonathan E. Steinberg, who co-showruns alongside Craig Silverstein and Dan Shotz. The executive producer roster is long — it includes Riordan and his wife Rebecca, Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell, D.J. Goldberg, Bert Salke, James Bobin, Jim Rower, Albert Kim, Jason Ensler, and Sarah Watson. Variety
For fans, the November premiere locks in a return date after a summer of teases. The full trailer gives the clearest picture yet of where the story is heading — and how many familiar characters, old and new, are coming along for the ride.
