Percy Jackson News Update: September 3, 2025

Based on available reports from September 3, 2025, there were no major new developments in the Percy Jackson franchise today. However, one entertainment outlet published what appears to be outdated information about the upcoming third season of the Disney+ series.

Conflicting Reports Surface About Season 3 Production Timeline

An IMDb article published today referenced what it claimed was recent information from a Screen Rant interview suggesting that Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 would begin filming in July 2025, with cast member Aryan Simhadri (Grover) reportedly confirming “We go up in July for bootcamp”.

However, this information contradicts multiple previous reports confirming that Season 3 production has already been underway since early August 2025. Disney announced on August 22 that “production is now underway in Vancouver, Canada on the third season of the hit Disney+ Original series”. Additionally, filming officially commenced on August 8, 2025, with creator Rick Riordan sharing that he had “seen the first [Season 3] dailies and I have to say, it gave me chills. It’s pretty great”.

Current Status of Percy Jackson Productions

As of September 3, 2025, Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 has been in production for nearly a month, adapting Rick Riordan’s novel “The Titan’s Curse”. The season will feature Walker Scobell reprising his role as Percy Jackson, now portrayed as a 14-year-old demigod on a dangerous quest to rescue both Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries) and the Greek goddess Artemis, who have been kidnapped by the Titan Atlas.

The production has already cast key new characters for the upcoming season, including Levi Chrisopulos as Nico di Angelo and Olive Abercrombie as Bianca di Angelo. Meanwhile, Season 2, which adapts “The Sea of Monsters,” is scheduled to premiere on Disney+ on December 10, 2025.

Looking Ahead

While no groundbreaking news emerged today, the Percy Jackson franchise continues its momentum with Season 3 production progressing on schedule in Vancouver. The third season represents uncharted territory for the screen adaptation, as it will be the first to adapt material beyond what was previously covered in the early 2010s film adaptations.

Executive producer Craig Silverstein has indicated that Season 3 will likely premiere before the end of 2026, continuing Disney+’s strategy of maintaining relatively short gaps between seasons to prevent the young cast from aging out of their characters.

No official statements were released by Disney+ or the production team on September 3, 2025, regarding the Percy Jackson series.
