Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians—based on The Titan’s Curse, the third installment of Disney Hyperion’s bestselling book series by acclaimed author Rick Riordan—is just over the horizon… and the excitement is palpable!
If Percy (Walter Scobell) learned anything after completing two epic quests with Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries), it’s that he would be lost without her. So when Annabeth is captured by the forces of Kronos, Percy must embark on a perilous journey to rescue her. He’s got to free a goddess in chains; confront the Titan’s curse; and avoid triggering the fall of Olympus. With Grover (Aryan Simhadri) by his side, Percy must join some unlikely questmates to confront a prophecy with dire consequences.
Before the season kicks off November 20 on Disney+ and Hulu, here’s a refresher on returning favorites—and read up on the new faces you’ll be seeing:
Percy Jackson (Walter Scobell)
As a demigod and the son of the Greek god of the sea Poseidon, Percy is a smart and compassionate kid with a sharp sense of humor. Beneath his cynicism is an affectionate son and loyal friend who wants to do right by those he cares about.
Annabeth Chase (Leah Sava Jeffries)
As a true daughter of the Greek goddess Athena, Annabeth is a brilliant strategist with an active and curious mind. Her loyalties are tested when her longtime mentor, Thalia Grace, returns—bringing new tensions that challenge Annabeth’s friendship with Percy. Additionally, her mysterious disappearance sparks a dangerous rescue mission that sends her friends on a quest to bring her home.
Grover Underwood (Aryan Simhadri)
A satyr—half boy and half goat—Grover cares deeply about others and will do anything for his friends. A loyal satyr and devoted protector of demigods, Grover always supports Percy in his quests and proves that true courage comes from loyalty and heart.
Luke Castellan (Charlie Bushnell)
Having grown up feeling abandoned by his divine father Hermes, the charismatic and confident demigod Luke aligns himself with the Titan Kronos and leads an army determined to overthrow the Olympian order and remake the world of the gods.
Thalia Grace (Tamara Smart)
The fierce demigod daughter of Zeus who was turned into Camp Half-Blood’s magical protective pine tree by her father Zeus, but recently returned to her human form after the Golden Fleece healed her.
Nico Di Angelo (Levi Chrisopulos)
A curious young enigmatic kid and devoted fan of the mythological card game Mythomagic who shares a close bond with his older sister Bianca.
Clarisse La Rue (Dior Goodjohn)
A child of Ares, God of War, Clarisse is a strong-willed and competitive fighter who doesn’t let much stand in the way of her winning.
Tyson (Daniel Diemer)
Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson is a cyclops with Poseidon as his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother.
Bianca Di Angelo (Olive Abercrombie)
Mature beyond her years, Bianca is a brave young teenage girl who feels a strong sense of responsibility to look after her younger brother Nico.
Artemis (Dafne Keen)
The Goddess of the Moon and the Hunt, her realm is the Wild. She prefers the freedom of the outdoors to the politics and formality of Olympus. Her immortal Hunters are her constant companions, and she has little contact with mortals, making her a bit out of touch with modern human culture. She is regal and an honorable fighter who will stand up to grave challenges.
Zoë Nightshade (Saara Chaudry)
Loyal lieutenant to Artemis and first among the immortal Hunters, Zoë has been at Artemis’s side for more than 2,000 years. She is a strong warrior and sometimes overly serious in ways that amuse the demigods, but she is also a crucial quest member, willing to strive and sacrifice for the good of all.
Other Characters to Watch For
Sally Jackson (Virginia Kull)
As Percy’s loving, protective and selfless mother, Sally raised her son knowing that one day she would have to give him up to the dangerous world of the Olympian gods.
Atlas (Holt Mccallany)
The legendary Titan who was condemned by Zeus to hold up the celestial heavens after the last Titan war against the Olympians, Atlas has recently been freed from his burden and now seeks to lead the armies of Kronos in a war of vengeance.

A stern military academy headmaster who demands obedience from his students.
Chiron (Glynn Turman)
Chiron is the famed centaur and trainer of heroes who provides Percy with moral guidance when needed.
Dionysus A.K.A. Mr. D (Jason Mantzoukas)
The irritable and sarcastic Mr. D runs Camp Half-Blood, a camp for the demigods. He is also the God of Wine and Celebration.
Hermes (Lin-Manuel Miranda)
The messenger god who looks out for travelers and thieves, and is a bit of a trickster himself. He is charismatic & boisterous, the life of the party—who masks deeper regrets behind his humor—especially his broken relationship with his son Luke.
Poseidon (Toby Stephens)
God of the Sea and Percy’s father. Although seemingly absent in Percy’s life, many of Poseidon’s qualities live in Percy: stubbornness, impulsiveness, and loyalty. Though he has stayed away throughout most of Percy’s life, his deep feelings for his son are evident.
Ares (Adam Copeland)
The God of War and Clarisse’s father. He is handsome in a wicked way and arrogant, despite not always being the sharpest tool in the shed. He loves conflict and acts as an agent of chaos wherever he goes.
Zeus (Courtney B. Vance)
King of Olympus, the God of the Sky—and Thalia’s father.
Athena (Andra Day)
The Goddess of Wisdom and Battle Strategy, and Annabeth’s mother.
Hera (Ming-Na Wen)
Queen of Olympus, and wife to Zeus. She is the Goddess of Marriage and Family—so the infidelity of Zeus rankles her. Regal, maternal, and no-nonsense, Hera is the only god besides Zeus who has children who are also members on the Olympian council, which gives her leverage in the family politics.
Demeter (Jennifer Beals)
The Goddess of Agriculture, the harvest, and the cycle of life and death. A respected sister of Zeus, Demeter remembers the war against the Titans very well, and will do what she must to prevent the return of her father Kronos.

The dazzling and charismatic God of the Sun as well as music, poetry, archery and prophecy. The literal golden boy of Olympus and twin brother to the goddess Artemis, the moon to his sun.
