The current season, which follows the events of The Sea of Monsters, has kept audiences glued to their screens since it started in December 2025. With the penultimate chapter having just arrived on January 14, 2026, the focus is now entirely on the upcoming finale. This final episode is expected to bring the high-stakes quest for the Golden Fleece to a close while setting the stage for what comes next in the world of demigods.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2 Episode 8 Release Date and Time
The final chapter of the season is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, January 21, 2026. Disney+ and Hulu have maintained a consistent weekly schedule for this season, moving away from the prime-time Tuesday releases used for the first season. For the finale, the episode will become available at the standard late-night time slot.
For viewers in the United States and Canada, the episode will be available at 12:00 a.m. PT or 3:00 a.m. ET. In the United Kingdom, the release is set for 8:00 a.m. GMT. Audiences in India can watch the finale starting at 1:30 p.m. IST on JioHotstar, while those in Australia will see it appear at 7:00 p.m. AEDT. This global rollout ensures that fans across different regions can watch the conclusion of the Sea of Monsters arc almost simultaneously.
Streaming Platforms for the Season Finale
The finale will be available on multiple platforms depending on your location. In the USA, viewers can choose between Disney+ and Hulu to watch the episode. For those using Hulu, it is important to note that the season will only remain on that service until March 4, 2026, after which it will reside exclusively on Disney+.
In international markets like the UK, Canada, and Australia, Disney+ remains the primary home for the series. In India, the show streams on JioHotstar. The season consists of eight episodes in total, mirroring the length of the debut season. Each episode has maintained a runtime of approximately 40 to 50 minutes, and the finale is expected to follow this format to provide a comprehensive ending to the current quest.
Cast Members for the Final Episode
The main trio remains the heart of the show as they face their final challenges. Walker Scobell returns as Percy Jackson, alongside Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood.

The cast has recently shared that the finale features a “brutal” and high-stakes battle. According to Charlie Bushnell, the situation becomes a matter of survival as the conflict between the loyal campers and Lukeโs rebels reaches a breaking point. The episode also deals with the growing influence of the titan king, Kronos, who has been manipulating events from the shadows. The ending is expected to provide a major tonal shift, preparing the characters for the even more serious threats they will face in the future.
“It’s brutal. It’s crazy. Everyone’s going to freak out,” the cast shared regarding the intensity of the final battle at Camp Half-Blood.
Production Background and Global Reach
Filming for this season took place primarily in Vancouver, beginning in August 2024 and wrapping in early 2025. The production team made a conscious effort to use more practical sets and real-world locations this time, reducing the use of digital “Volume” technology to give the Sea of Monsters a more grounded feel.
This season has been a massive global event, reaching millions of viewers across North America, Europe, and Asia. With Season 3 already confirmed to be in production, the finale of Season 2 serves as a bridge to the next chapter of the story, The Titan’s Curse. The show continues to be one of the most successful fantasy adaptations for Disney, maintaining a loyal following through its faithful retelling of the source material.
