Things are starting to heat up at Camp Half-Blood.
Disney+ released the first trailer for Season 3 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” which will premiere Nov. 20. In the trailer, Percy grapples with a dream about
The Great Prophecy. “Something bad is coming,” he says over voiceover.
The official synopsis for Season 3 reads: “When Annabeth is captured by the forces of Kronos, Percy must embark on a perilous journey to rescue her. He must free a goddess in chains, confront the Titan’s curse, and avoid triggering the fall of Olympus. With Grover by his side, Percy must join some unlikely questmates to confront a prophecy with dire consequences.”
The cast includes Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase and Dafne Keen as the goddess Artemis.
Also returning for Season 3 are Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan, Daniel Diemer as Tyson and Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse La Rue. New Greek gods will also be introduced, including Hubert Smielecki as Apollo, Kate McKinnon as Aphrodite and Ming-Na Wen as Hera.
The show’s cast and crew stopped by San Diego Comic-Con in July to release the first few minutes of Season 3, which opened with Thalia Grace battling a monster. During the show’s panel, Scobell teased he believed this would be the most book-accurate adaptation they’ve done thus far.
“Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on Riordan’s bestselling book series of the same name, which was first released in 2005. The author created the Disney+ series with Jonathan E. Steinberg, who serves as the co-showrunner and executive producer alongside Craig Silverstein and Dan Shotz. Additional executive producers include Riordan and his wife, Rebecca; the Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein, Jeremy Bell and D.J. Goldberg; Bert Salke; James Bobin; Jim Rower; Albert Kim; Jason Ensler; and Sarah Watson.
