Percy Jackson & the Olympians has not slowed down. The first season landed with positive reviews and steady audience numbers, which gave Disney confidence to expand the adaptation. Season 2 already has a set date, December 10, 2025. Long before that premiere, season 3 had been confirmed. The renewal came early, before viewers had even seen the next chapter. It signaled trust in the project.
Coverage also mentioned a practical reason. The cast is young, and stories about child heroes can face timing issues if actors age too quickly. Disney has not made that an official statement, but the discussion has been present since filming began. By approving season 3 in advance, production avoided speculation about delays and secured continuity.
It also created space to plan. With two seasons locked in, the team could manage schedules, prepare scripts and make casting decisions without the usual uncertainty. For a saga adapted from long books, this kind of stability is valuable.
Atlas entering Percy Jackson & the Olympians
The next season will introduce Atlas. In The Titan’s Curse, the third book, he appears as the Titan punished by Zeus to hold the sky forever. The image of a figure trapped by the weight of the heavens has been a central moment for readers. Now it is coming to the screen.
Rick Riordan confirmed to Screen Rant that conversations about Atlas are already happening. The character is in process, but casting has not been revealed. There is no official information about who will play him. What is clear is that his arrival marks a turning point, as Atlas was the key antagonist in the book that season 3 adapts.
Why this matters
Atlas is not just about physical strength. In the novels, he is manipulative, capable of convincing others to carry the unbearable burden. That mix of intimidation and persuasion made him dangerous. Translating those traits into live action is a challenge. An actor must embody both sides, and that makes casting decisions especially important.
Riordan mentioned he had already seen early dailies from production. His reaction, saying it gave him chills, showed that the work is advancing. While details remain limited, the comment indicates the creative team understands the weight of bringing Atlas to life.
Expanding the cast
The new season will also feature Nico and Bianca di Angelo. Both have been officially cast. Children of Hades, the siblings are part of major storylines later in the saga. Their introduction in season 3 is therefore significant. Fans of the books have long awaited their first live action appearance.
Bringing Nico and Bianca into the adaptation changes the dynamics. Their background adds darker tones to the story and broadens the focus beyond the main trio. For Disney+, this confirms that the series intends to follow the original novels closely and include the arcs that shaped the saga’s reputation.
Reception and continuity
The decision to lock in a third season shows how the series established itself. When the first season premiered, there were doubts. Previous screen versions of Percy Jackson had not been well received. This time, the response was different. Critics highlighted the faithful tone, and review aggregators such as Rotten Tomatoes recorded favorable scores. Audience support was strong enough to keep the momentum.
Still, consistency remains a challenge. Adaptations can lose energy if they drift away from the books or if they become repetitive. The balance between faithfulness and television pacing is delicate. Up to now, Percy Jackson & the Olympians has managed to maintain that balance, which is one reason Disney gave it early approval.
The weight of Atlas on screen
Among all the scenes waiting to be adapted in Percy Jackson & the Olympians, Atlas holding the sky stands out. It is an image with symbolic power: endurance, punishment, the crushing weight of responsibility. Bringing that to television will demand more than effects. It must feel heavy, both visually and emotionally
There is no official description of how the scene will be filmed. Even so, expectations are high because the sequence is central to the book. The earlier success with casting the gods supports this anticipation. Lance Reddick as Zeus was widely praised, and his performance showed how the right choice can define a character. Atlas now carries that same level of expectation.
Production status
Season 2 of Percy Jackson & the Olympians arrives on December 10, 2025. Season 3 is already in production, though Disney has not shared a release date. Starting early helps filming stay on schedule and keeps the timeline consistent. For a series with young leads, that continuity is important.
Attention now turns to who will play Atlas. In The Titan’s Curse, he is at the center of the conflict. The actor chosen will shape how the season unfolds. Until the announcement is made, anticipation around the role will remain strong.

Closing notes
Percy Jackson & the Olympians moves into its third season with energy and a clear plan. Atlas is set to appear for the first time on screen, adding both danger and symbolism. Nico and Bianca di Angelo are also joining, connecting the adaptation more closely with the structure of the novels. While casting news and production details are still to come, the direction is evident. The series is positioning itself to adapt one of the most defining parts of the saga and to keep building on the foundation that has already been set.
