Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 introduces new faces alongside returning demigods, gods and Titans. The season begins November 20 on Disney+ and Hulu.
The season adapts Rick Riordan’s The Titan’s Curse. It’s the third book in the series.
Percy must rescue Annabeth after Kronos’s forces capture her. Grover joins the quest. Percy also faces a dangerous prophecy and must free a goddess without triggering the fall of Olympus.
The Hunters and the di Angelo siblings
Dafne Keen plays Artemis, whose immortal Hunters are her constant companions. Among them is Saara Chaudry’s Zoë Nightshade. After more than 2,000 years at the goddess’s side, Zoë takes a crucial role in the quest.
The di Angelo siblings bring another family bond to the story. Olive Abercrombie plays Bianca, a teenager who feels responsible for her younger brother. Levi Chrisopulos plays Nico, whose interests include the card game Mythomagic.
Family loyalties and the fight against Olympus
For Leah Sava Jeffries’s Annabeth, the return of her longtime mentor creates competing loyalties. That mentor is Thalia Grace, played by Tamara Smart, who regains human form when the Golden Fleece heals her pine tree. Thalia’s father is Zeus, played by Courtney B. Vance; Annabeth’s mother is Athena, played by Andra Day.
Virginia Kull plays Percy’s protective mother, Sally. Glynn Turman’s Chiron trains heroes, while Jason Mantzoukas’s Dionysus runs Camp Half-Blood. Dior Goodjohn plays the competitive Clarisse, daughter of Adam Copeland’s Ares, and Aryan Simhadri plays the demigods’ satyr protector, Grover.
On the opposing side, Charlie Bushnell’s Luke leads an army for Kronos. His broken relationship with his father, Hermes, weighs on the messenger god, played by Lin-Manuel Miranda. Holt McCallany’s Atlas is free of his burden of holding up the heavens and seeks command of Kronos’s armies. David Costabile also appears as Dr. Thorn, a military academy headmaster who insists on obedience.
Olympus also includes Ming-Na Wen as Hera, the goddess of marriage and family, and Jennifer Beals as Demeter, who remembers the Titan war and wants to stop Kronos’s return. Hubert Smielecki plays Artemis’s twin, Apollo, whose domains include music, archery and prophecy.
