Percy Jackson Season 3 Teaser Unveiled at D23, Premiere Set for November 20 on Disney+

Walker Scobell walked onto the D23 stage at Anaheim's Honda Center and brought the first look at Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians — a teaser trailer, a premiere date, and a warning that things are about to get dark. The new season lands on Disney+ on November 20. (Deadline)

D23: The Ultimate Fan Event, Disney's biennial showcase for its film and television slate, provided the platform for the reveal. Scobell, who plays the title demigod Percy Jackson, presented the teaser himself and told the crowd that Season 3 is "darker than any previous season" of the show. (Deadline)

The teaser draws from The Titan's Curse, the third book in Rick Riordan's bestselling series — and the first time this story has been adapted for screen. Riordan co-created the television series with Jonathan E. Steinberg. The trailer opened with an army of Artemis's hunters introducing the cast, setting the tone for a season built around mythology's wilder, more dangerous corners. (Deadline)

Two surprise guests joined Scobell on stage: Ming-Na Wen, who plays Hera, and Andra Day, who plays Athena. Their appearance confirmed the pantheon of gods continues to expand as the series moves deeper into Riordan's mythology. (Deadline)

The Season 3 cast features Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Tamara Smart, and Levi Chrisopulos. The story this time centres on the disappearance of Annabeth — one of Percy's closest companions — and the Great Prophecy delivered by the Oracle of Delphi, which dictates the fate of Mount Olympus itself.

For fans, the November 20 premiere date means the gap between seasons is tightening. Season 2 debuted on Disney+ on December 10, 2025, and now Season 3 follows less than a year later — a notably faster turnaround than the roughly two-year wait between the first and second seasons. (D23)

The renewal for Season 3 was itself confirmed at a previous D23 event, where the cast for the new season was first revealed. (D23)

For a show that has steadily grown its audience across two seasons, the darker direction Scobell described aligns with where Riordan's source material goes. The Titan's Curse raises the personal stakes for Percy and his friends, and the disappearance of a major character gives the season an emotional engine the first two books did not have — at least not at this pitch.

What the teaser makes clear is that Disney+ is treating Percy Jackson as a pillar of its family-and-fantasy lineup, not a one-off adaptation. A November 20 premiere places it squarely in the holiday viewing window, when streaming audiences are at their largest. The show will need that reach: Season 3 is the point in Riordan's story where the stakes go from personal to mythological, and the production appears to be scaling up to match.
