Get ready, demigods. Disney+ screened the first few minutes of Season 3 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” at San Diego Comic-Con.
Adapting Rick Riordan’s third book, “The Titan’s Curse,” the third season will follow Percy Jackson (Walker Scobell), Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri) and their fellow campers at Camp Half-Blood — plus some new faces — to save Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries) and goddess of the hunt Artemis (Dafne Keen) from the Titan Atlas (Holt McCallany).
The season opens with Thalia Grace (Tamara Smart) battling a monster in a parking garage. Percy joins her to help defeat the monster, though Thalia is visibly annoyed and says she doesn’t need his help. Once the demigods win the battle, Annabeth appears and admits she asked Percy to come as the two of them need Thalia’s help to rescue two demigods — presumabely Nico and Bianca di Angelo — and take them to Camp Half-Blood. The tension between Thalia and Percy carries over from the ending of Season 2, with Percy openly admitting he doesn’t want the daughter of Zeus to join them. Before a decision is made, Thalia is seen driving away.
Also returning for the third season are Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan, Daniel Diemer as Tyson and Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse La Rue. New characters will also be introduced to the Greek mythology universe, including Levi Chrisopulos as Nico di Angelo, Olive Abercrombie as Bianca di Angelo, Saara Chaudry as Zoë Nightshade, Hubert Smielecki as Apollo, Kate McKinnon as Aphrodite and Ming-Na Wen as Hera.
