Disney+ released the first trailer for Season 3 of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” which will premiere Nov. 20. In the trailer, Percy grapples with a dream about The Great Prophecy. The official synopsis for Season 3 reads: “When Annabeth is captured by the forces of Kronos, Percy must embark on a perilous journey to rescue her.
He must free a goddess in chains, confront the Titan’s curse, and avoid triggering the fall of Olympus. With Grover by his side, Percy must join some unlikely questmates to confront a prophecy with dire consequences.” The cast includes Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase and Dafne Keen as the goddess Artemis. Also returning for Season 3 are Charlie Bushnell as Luke Castellan, Daniel Diemer as Tyson and Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse La Rue.
New Greek gods will also be introduced, including Hubert Smielecki as Apollo, Kate McKinnon as Aphrodite and Ming-Na Wen as Hera. The show’s cast and crew stopped by San Diego Comic-Con in July to release the first few minutes of Season 3, which opened with Thalia Grace battling a monster. During the show’s panel, Scobell teased he believed this would be the most book-accurate adaptation they’ve done thus far.
