The Aug. 14 Disney Entertainment Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event included the release of a new trailer for the third season of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” which premieres on Disney+ Nov. 20.
The announcement came during a presentation at the Honda Center in a moment inspired by the upcoming season with an army of Artemis’s hunters who introduced Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson) alongside surprise guests Ming-Na Wen (Hera) and Andra Day (Athena).
The third season is based on the third book in author Rick Riordan’s “Percy Jackson” series, The Titan’s Curse, and marks the first time the novel has been adapted for screen.
In the third season, the stakes are higher than ever before as Percy is faced with the sudden disappearance of Annabeth and the impending Great Prophecy provided by the Oracle of Delphi, dictating the fate of Olympus. As foretold by the Oracle of Delphi, one demigod child of the “Big Three” is fated to raise Olympus to new heights or bring it crashing into ruin, with their own life hanging in the balance.
The cast also includes Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Tamara Smart and Levi Chrisopulos.
Season three of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is executive produced by Jonathan E. Steinberg, Dan Shotz and Craig Silverstein, alongside Rick Riordan, Rebecca Riordan, The Gotham Group’s Ellen Goldsmith-Vein and Jeremy Bell, Bert Salke, James Bobin, Jim Rowe, Albert Kim, Sarah Watson and Tamara Becher-Wilkinson. Jet Wilkinson serves as an executive producer on the last two episodes of the season.
