Percy Jackson Season 3 Release Schedule: Every Episode Date & Title

Disney+ is releasing Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 faster than it has released any season of the show. Two episodes arrive every week for four weeks, eight in total, beginning Friday, November 20, 2026, and the finale lands on December 11. The full Percy Jackson Season 3 release schedule is just below.

After that you’ll find what time to expect new episodes, where to watch, who’s in the cast, and what to know about The Titan’s Curse before you press play.

Every episode, date and title

Friday, November 20

• Episode 1: “My Rescue Operation Goes Very Wrong”
• Episode 2: “An Old Dead Friend Comes to Visit”

Friday, November 27

• Episode 3: “I Learn How to Grow Zombies”
• Episode 4: “We Visit the Junkyard of the Gods”

Friday, December 4

• Episode 5: “I Have a Dam Problem”
• Episode 6: “I Wrestle Santa’s Evil Twin”

Friday, December 11

• Episode 7: “I Put on a Few Million Extra Pounds”
• Episode 8: “The Gods Vote How to Kill Us”

Readers of Rick Riordan’s books will recognize many of these. The long first-person titles have been part of the show since the first season, and Season 3 keeps the joke going. “I Wrestle Santa’s Evil Twin” is a title that belongs to a winter story.

Because the episodes come in pairs, every Friday gives you a clean chunk of story to watch in one sitting. The season is eight episodes, the same length as Seasons 1 and 2, and Season 2’s episodes ran roughly 35 to 47 minutes each, so a pair takes about seventy to ninety minutes.

The titles tell you less than they seem to. Riordan’s chapter titles are jokes that hide the plot, and the show’s versions do the same thing, so don’t expect to work out what happens from the list above.

How the rollout differs from Seasons 1 and 2

The first two seasons opened with a double premiere and then dropped to a single episode a week. That meant Season 3’s predecessors stretched across more than a month. This time the whole season is over in four weeks, which is easier on anyone avoiding spoilers online.

Release day also moves from Wednesday to Friday.

The gap between seasons is shorter too. Season 2 arrived in December 2025, two years after Season 1, and its finale aired January 21, with a Season 3 teaser in the end credits. Season 3 follows within a year. Disney+ had promised to shorten the waits, and this is the first proof.

The calendar may be doing some work as well. One outlet noted that a November launch lets Disney boost viewership over the holidays, and Episodes 3 and 4 arrive on the Friday after US Thanksgiving. That’s speculation, but it fits.

What time do new episodes drop?

Check the Disney+ app on the night rather than trusting a clock time from any website, including this one. When Season 1 launched, Disney+ dropped the first two episodes a night earlier than scheduled, after originally planning a 3 a.m. ET Wednesday release. The Season 3 announcements give dates, and the exact hour is easy to get wrong.

Where to watch Percy Jackson Season 3

New episodes stream on Disney+ and Hulu, and Seasons 1 and 2 are both available now. Availability depends on your country, so check the Disney+ catalog for your region before November 20.

Catching up is easier than it looks. Both earlier seasons are eight episodes, so a full rewatch is sixteen episodes, roughly ten or eleven hours at Season 2’s runtimes. Two episodes a night gets you through both seasons in eight evenings.

Where Season 2 left off

Season 2 adapted The Sea of Monsters. It premiered on December 10, 2025, and ended on January 21, 2026, with a cliffhanger. That cliffhanger is why Thalia is part of Season 3 from the start, so skip ahead if you want to avoid spoilers.

A first look at Season 3 played midway through the finale’s end credits, so don’t skip them if you rewatch. Disney had also ordered Season 3 before Season 2 reached viewers, which is why the show was able to come back so quickly.

What is Season 3 about?

The season adapts The Titan’s Curse, and it’s the first time that book has been adapted for the screen. The movies stopped after the first two books.

The setup, without spoilers: Percy, Annabeth, and Thalia go to a boarding school called Westover Hall to pick up two siblings, Bianca and Nico di Angelo, and run into a dangerous opponent named Dr. Thorn. The official description centers on Annabeth’s sudden disappearance and the Great Prophecy from the Oracle of Delphi. The Comic-Con footage opened with Thalia fighting a monster in a parking garage. Book readers know who Dr. Thorn really is, and the show hasn’t said.

Two other details stand out. Walker Scobell has said there’s a small time jump so the season can focus on how Percy handles Thalia’s return. And the tone is different. It’s darker than the first two books and takes place in winter, and the teaser shows Percy straining under the weight of the sky.

Disney’s casting notes describe Atlas as the season’s main antagonist, a Titan freed from the burden of holding up the sky who wants to lead Kronos’s army in a war of revenge. That makes the teaser image of Percy straining under the weight of the sky more interesting.

Filming started in August 2025 in Vancouver, months before Season 2 reached viewers, which is a big reason the gap between seasons is shorter this time. Rick Riordan, who wrote the books, is an executive producer.

Who’s in the Season 3 cast?

The returning core is Walker Scobell as Percy, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth, and Aryan Simhadri as Grover, with Charlie Bushnell as Luke, Tamara Smart as Thalia, Daniel Diemer as Tyson, and Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse.

The new cast is the biggest the show has had:

• The di Angelo siblings: Olive Abercrombie plays Bianca and Levi Chrisopulos plays Nico.

• The Hunters of Artemis: Dafne Keen plays Artemis and Saara Chaudry plays Zoë Nightshade.

• The villains: Holt McCallany plays the Titan Atlas, reportedly in six episodes, and David Costabile plays Dr. Thorn, the stern vice principal of a military academy.

• The gods: Kate McKinnon is Aphrodite, Ming-Na Wen is Hera, Jennifer Beals is Demeter, and Hubert Smielecki is Apollo.

• Annabeth’s father: Jesse L. Martin plays Frederick Chase.

Many of these actors will be familiar. Dafne Keen is best known for playing Laura in Logan and Deadpool & Wolverine and Lyra in His Dark Materials. Holt McCallany starred in Mindhunter and The Iron Claw, David Costabile in Breaking Bad and Billions, and Jesse L. Martin in Law & Order and The Flash. Kate McKinnon spent years on Saturday Night Live, and Ming-Na Wen is a familiar face from Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the voice of Mulan.

Do you need to read The Titan’s Curse first?

The show has been written for viewers who haven’t read the books. Readers will spot the changes, though, and Scobell called this the most book-accurate season so far. How closely a show should follow the books is one of fandom’s oldest debates, and our guide to fandom terms like canon covers the vocabulary.

If you want a refresher instead, Season 1 adapted The Lightning Thief and Season 2 adapted The Sea of Monsters. Both are streaming. Season 2 ended with the return of Thalia, so that finale is the one to rewatch.

If you do read the book first, treat it as a guide to the story’s tone and structure rather than a script. The show has changed details in earlier seasons, and Scobell’s comment suggests Season 3 stays closer to the source, not that it matches it page for page.

Will there be a Percy Jackson Season 4?

Not officially, as far as reports go. A fourth season would adapt The Battle of the Labyrinth, and a fifth would cover The Last Olympian.

The cast talks as if Seasons 4 and 5 are locked in, but a report of a renewal hasn’t been confirmed by Disney+. Disney renewed Season 3 before Season 2 even premiered, so a renewal announcement during or after this run wouldn’t be a surprise.

We’ll update this page if Disney changes the schedule or confirms a renewal.
