Percy Jackson & The Olympians officially announced the actors to play Nico and Bianca di Angelo for Season 3 of the Disney+ series at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2025, a fan convention that is being held from July 24 to July 27, 2025. The news broke after months of rumors, and now the fans are aware that Levi Chrisopulos will be playing Nico, and Olive Abercrombie will be playing Bianca.
Both are two of the main characters in The Titan's Curse, the third installment in Rick Riordan's series, which Season 3 is going to be based on. Production on Percy Jackson & The Olympians Season 3 starts in July 2025 in British Columbia, picking up the story not long after the events of Season 2, which will be landing on Disney+ on December 10, 2025.
The new season will feature the live-action introduction of these kids of Hades, characters much anticipated by readers of the book series. Their introduction injects new life into the show's central story and mythology.
Who are Nico and Bianca di Angelo?
Nico and Bianca di Angelo are demigod siblings and the offspring of Hades, one of the three strongest Olympian gods. Their debut in The Titan's Curse was a milestone in the book series, providing depth to Camp Half-Blood's world. In the third season of the show Percy Jackson & The Olympians, these characters will be introduced on the screen for the first time.
Bianca appears as Nico's tough older sister and then becomes a Hunter of Artemis. Her arc is short but significant. Nico, on the other hand, develops into one of the most intricate and sustained characters in the Percy Jackson series.
With his control over the dead, his shadow traveling, and his mixed-up affairs with other demigods, Nico remains a leading character in subsequent books and spin-offs. As per the reports, casting these actors was a priority for the production team because of their popularity and their roles in the show.
When and where is Percy Jackson & The Olympians Season 3 being filmed?
Disney+ has announced that filming on Percy Jackson & The Olympians Season 3 commences in July 2025 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Filming is working under the production title "Mink Golden" and will be moving quickly to reduce the age gap between the actors and characters.
Returning actors include Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase), and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood). The inclusion of Nico and Bianca brings a new dynamic to the cast. Pre-filming boot camps are taking place to get the actors ready for stunt work and create cast chemistry.
Early hints and fan theories
While Season 3 will mark the on-screen debut of Nico and Bianca, the show has already indicated their presence. In Season 1, when there was the Lotus Casino scene, fans caught a whisper saying "Bianca?": an Easter egg hinting at their future appearance. Showrunners had later confirmed that the sound was deliberate, foreshadowing long-time readers familiar with the books.
These head bobs synchronize with the book chronology, where it's understood that Nico and Bianca spent decades in the time-freezing Lotus Casino. Their slow aging accounts for their appearance as children when they were indeed born around World War II.
Why does this casting matter for the Percy Jackson series?
Season 3 of Percy Jackson & The Olympians is covering The Titan's Curse, a novel that introduces some new characters, including the Hunters of Artemis and the goddess Artemis herself, as well as Nico and Bianca. These new characters significantly increase the world-building and mythology of the series.
The introduction of actors Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie brings favorite characters to the live-action adaptation, with Nico's storyline set to run well beyond this season. Disney committed to the season early, mirroring the show's warm reception and stable fanbase.
Disney Branded Television President Ayo Davis said the early renewal keeps the story and character arcs going without having to wait long breaks, particularly significant considering the real-life aging of the young cast.
