Percy Jackson and the Olympians returned to New York Comic Con, where Percy himself, Walker Scobell, appeared on the Main Stage to share new details about the upcoming third season. During the panel, Scobell announced that season 3 will premiere with two episodes on November 20th, followed by two new episodes each week on Disney+ and Hulu. Fans attending the panel also received an exclusive sneak peek at the new season.
The release strategy mirrors that of Marvel Studios’ VisionQuest, which is set to release on October 14th with two episodes as well. It seems Disney is currently committed to a two-episode release strategy for now, which is a bit surprising considering a weekly release schedule would keep more original content on Disney+ as well as allow a show to gain more momentum.

Percy Jackson Season 3 Episode Titles
Following the panel, Disney also revealed the titles and release dates for all eight season 3 episodes on social media. The season will conclude on December 11, with the final two episodes titled “I Put on a Few Million Extra Pounds” and “The Gods Vote How to Kill Us.”
Based on Rick Riordan’s The Titan’s Curse, the third book in the bestselling series, Season 3 follows Percy Jackson (Scobell) as he embarks on a dangerous quest to rescue Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava’ Jeffries) after she is captured by the forces of Kronos. Joined by Grover (Aryan Simhadri) and a group of unlikely companions, Percy must free a goddess in chains, confront the Titan’s curse, and avoid triggering the fall of Olympus. This is the first time The Titan’s Curse has been adapted for the screen.
Created by Rick Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg, Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is executive produced by 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.
The third season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians stars Walker Scobell, Leah Sava’ Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Tamara Smart and Levi Chrisopulos.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 premieres November 20 on Disney+ and Hulu. Seasons 1 and 2 are not only streaming now on Disney+ and Hulu, but recently released on Netflix as well.
