Percy Jackson fans, Disney+ has decided to be generous, and we're certainly not complaining. During Saturday's New York Comic Con panel, Walker Scobell revealed that Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 will premiere with two episodes on November 20, 2026, and continue dropping two episodes every Friday. That's right, no more surviving an entire week on one episode and a cliffhanger.


And if that wasn't enough to get fans talking, NYCC attendees were treated to new footage featuring Percy and Annabeth sharing a dance. Yes, a dance! Between that, the arrival of Nico and Bianca di Angelo, and the adaptation of The Titan's Curse, Season 3 is giving fans plenty of reasons to start counting down the days.


Two Episodes a Week? We'll Take It!

Disney+ is switching things up this season, moving away from the traditional one-episode-per-week rollout. Instead, the eight-episode third season will arrive in pairs, beginning November 20 and wrapping up December 11.


That's four weeks of monsters, mythology, teenage chaos, and probably a few questionable decisions from our favorite demigods. The accelerated schedule also means fans won't have nearly as much time to recover between whatever emotional damage Rick Riordan's story has waiting for them. Book readers already know why that last part matters.



Percy and Annabeth Have a Dance to Remember

One of the biggest moments from the NYCC panel came when Scobell introduced an exclusive sneak peek featuring Percy, Annabeth, Grover, and Thalia at a school dance. But because this is Percy Jackson, nobody is showing up just to enjoy the music and awkward teenage flirting.


The group is searching for Nico and Bianca di Angelo while keeping an eye out for a potential monster lurking among the students. Somewhere in the middle of the mission, Percy and Annabeth share a dance, giving Percabeth fans a moment they've been waiting to see brought to life.


Of course, romance and danger tend to go hand in hand in Percy's world. A school dance sounds harmless enough until you remember that these kids can't even go on a normal field trip without somebody trying to kill them.


The Titan's Curse Is About to Change Everything

Season 3 brings The Titan's Curse, the third installment in Rick Riordan's bestselling book series, to television. The story introduces new demigods, expands the mythology, and raises the stakes considerably for Percy and his friends.

Walker Scobell returns alongside Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth, Aryan Simhadri as Grover, and Tamara Smart as Thalia. Levi Chrisopulos joins the cast as Nico di Angelo, while Olive Abercrombie portrays his sister, Bianca.


And let's talk about Nico for a second. His introduction is a major moment for longtime readers, and Scobell had plenty of praise for Chrisopulos during the panel. Without getting into book spoilers, let's just say the di Angelo siblings aren't showing up simply to make new friends at Camp Half-Blood.


November Can't Get Here Fast Enough

Between the double-episode release schedule, the first glimpse of Percabeth's dance, and the introduction of characters fans have been waiting to meet, Season 3 already has plenty going for it. And with The Titan's Curse serving as the source material, the series is entering a chapter where the adventures get darker and the consequences hit harder.


The question now is whether fans are ready for everything coming their way. Because if you've read the books, you already know that not every quest ends with everyone getting home in time for dinner.


Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 premieres November 20 on Disney+ and Hulu, with two new episodes every

Friday through December 11.
