Disney+ dropped the first full trailer for Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 3 during the Disney Entertainment Showcase at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event on August 14. The nearly two-minute clip gives audiences their best look yet at the adaptation of The Titan’s Curse, the third book in Rick Riordan’s bestselling series.
Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase), and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) return for the new season, which premieres on November 20, 2026. The trailer introduces several major characters from the books, including the Hunters of Artemis and their goddess leader, while setting up the show’s darkest chapter yet.
Trailer Opens With Percy’s Dream and the Great Prophecy
The trailer begins with Percy describing a dream about the Great Prophecy. “Something bad is coming,” he says over voiceover. This warning sets the tone for a season where the conflict between the Olympian gods and the Titans reaches a critical point.
The Great Prophecy, delivered by the Oracle of Delphi, states that a child of one of the “Big Three” gods will either save Olympus or destroy it. Percy, as a son of Poseidon, falls into this category. The prophecy adds weight to every decision he makes throughout the season.
The footage shows Percy dealing with this burden while trying to locate Annabeth, who has been captured by Kronos’s forces. The official synopsis confirms that Percy must rescue her, free a goddess in chains, and stop the Titan’s curse from triggering the fall of Olympus.
Hunters of Artemis Make Their Live-Action Debut
One of the trailer’s biggest reveals is the first look at the Hunters of Artemis. These immortal huntresses have sworn loyalty to the goddess Artemis in exchange for eternal youth. They play a major role in The Titan’s Curse.
Dafne Keen joins the cast as Artemis, the goddess of the hunt and the moon. Saara Chaudry appears as Zoë Nightshade, Artemis’s lieutenant and leader of the Hunters.
The D23 presentation featured a live moment with an army of Artemis’s hunters introducing Scobell on stage alongside surprise guests Ming-Na Wen (Hera) and Andra Day (Athena). The theatrical staging gave fans a taste of what to expect from the Hunters in the new season.
Manticore Fight Gets a Brief Tease
Book readers waiting for the Manticore fight will find something to enjoy in the trailer. The Manticore, a monster with a lion’s body, human-like face, and scorpion tail that shoots poisonous spikes, appears in a brief shot.
In Riordan’s book, the Manticore attacks Percy and his friends early in the story. The creature works for the Titans and tries to recruit demigod siblings Bianca and Nico di Angelo for evil purposes. The trailer’s quick glimpse confirms this sequence will appear in the show.
Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie join the cast as Nico and Bianca di Angelo. These characters become central to the Percy Jackson universe, and their introduction marks a significant moment for the series.
Percy Faces the Weight of the Sky
The trailer shows Percy bearing the weight of the sky, a pivotal moment from The Titan’s Curse. In the book, Percy takes on this burden to save Artemis, who is being held captive by the Titan Atlas. The visual of Percy struggling under this cosmic weight demonstrates the physical and emotional toll of his quest.
This scene connects to the larger theme of the season. Percy must make difficult choices that could determine the fate of everyone he loves. The trailer suggests these choices will push him to his limits.
Annabeth’s Kidnapping Drives the Season
Annabeth’s disappearance serves as the main driver of Season 3’s plot. The trailer shows Percy’s desperation as he searches for her, with Grover by his side.
“If it came down to a choice between me and Olympus … he’d burn it to the ground.”
Annabeth delivers this chilling line in the trailer. It reveals her understanding of Percy’s loyalty and the dangerous lengths he would go to save her. The line has already generated discussion among fans on social media, with many calling it a defining moment for the Percy-Annabeth relationship.

Walker Scobell Calls Season 3 the Darkest Yet
Scobell described the new season during the D23 presentation.
“This season is a lot darker than any season we’ve had before.”
He added that the cast used feedback from Season 2 to improve their performances.
“Season 2 was coming out while we were filming Season 3, so we would get live updates on what people think we could do better, and we would just do it better.”
The actor previously called this the most “book accurate season we’ve had yet”. The trailer supports this claim, showing key moments from The Titan’s Curse that fans have waited years to see on screen.
Aphrodite Warns About the Power of Love
The trailer features a scene with Aphrodite, the goddess of love, warning Percy about the power of love. She tells him that love can start wars and end them, and that it will be key to surviving the war against the Titans.
This moment connects to the season’s central theme. Percy’s love for Annabeth drives his actions, but it also puts him at risk. The goddess’s warning suggests that love alone may not be enough to win the coming battle.
Hephaestus’s Junkyard and the Metal Monster
The trailer shows a junkyard face-off with a massive metal creature built by Hephaestus. This sequence comes from a memorable part of The Titan’s Curse where Percy and his friends must navigate a dangerous trap set by the god of forges.
The destroyed city backdrop in some shots suggests large-scale battles. The trailer indicates that the conflict between gods and Titans will have real consequences for the mortal world.
Season 3 Adapts The Titan’s Curse for the First Time
Season 3 marks the first time The Titan’s Curse has been adapted for the screen. Previous live-action Percy Jackson movies only covered the first two books, The Lightning Thief and The Sea of Monsters.
The show continues its pattern of adapting one book per season. Season 1 covered The Lightning Thief, Season 2 adapted The Sea of Monsters, and Season 3 brings The Titan’s Curse to life.
The story expands beyond Camp Half-Blood and introduces characters who become essential to the larger Percy Jackson universe. Nico and Bianca di Angelo, in particular, play significant roles in future books.
