Fans of the hit fantasy series Percy Jackson and the Olympians were left reeling after a major announcement about the show's future was unveiled in the dramatic Season 2 finale, which premiered on Disney+ on January 21, 2026.
Unexpected Season 3 Reveal
As the credits began to roll following the cliffhanger ending of Season 2, viewers were treated to an unexpected interruption. A charming scene featuring Annabeth Chase, played by Leah Sava Jeffries, leading Percy Jackson, portrayed by Walker Scobell, onto a dance floor appeared on screen.
The pair shared a tender first dance together, set to Stephen Sanchez's popular track Until I Found You. This clip was not merely a bonus scene but a confirmed first look at the highly anticipated Season 3.
Production and Release Details
The brief teaser concluded with the exciting confirmation that the new season is scheduled to arrive later this year. According to official statements from Disney+, production for the third season is already underway in Vancouver, Canada.
Season 3 will adapt the third novel in Rick Riordan's bestselling book series, titled The Titan's Curse. The official synopsis teases a high-stakes adventure: "When Percy Jackson receives an urgent distress call from his satyr friend Grover, he immediately prepares for battle. He knows he will need his powerful demigod allies, his trusty bronze sword Riptide, and a ride from his mother.
"The demigods rush to the rescue, only to discover that Grover has made a critical find: two powerful half-bloods whose parentage remains a mystery. However, a far greater threat awaits. The titan lord Kronos has devised his most treacherous plot yet, and the young heroes have just fallen into his trap."
Overwhelming Fan Reaction
The first-look clip was also shared across the official Percy Jackson social media channels, sparking an immediate and ecstatic response from the fanbase. Thousands of comments flooded in, expressing sheer delight and surprise at the swift release timeline.
One elated fan exclaimed, "Giving S3 to us THIS YEAR is such a gift," while another noted, "This helps the sting of season 2 ending already." The intensity of the reaction was palpable, with a third viewer declaring, "THIS IS LEGENDARY, THIS IS ICONIC, THIS WILL CHANGE LIVES!!!!"
Others shared humorous anecdotes about their viewing experience. One fan joked, "I definitely think the people in my very thin-walled apartment building were concerned for my well-being when this scene came on." Another, stunned by the release date, said, "The way I screamed, 'This Year?!' when I saw it!"

The series, which follows the adventures of demigod Percy Jackson and his friends Annabeth and Grover (Aryan Simhadri) as they battle monsters and gods, has garnered significant praise. The first two seasons have achieved an impressive 95 per cent critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, with audiences awarding it a strong 83 per cent approval rating.
