Percy Jackson and the Olympians fans are in luck. There’s another season of the Disney+ series right around the corner.
Following the cliffhanger conclusion to the second season, Disney revealed that Season 3 will debut later this year. The company did not say when, exactly, to expect the third installment.
However, there was a first look at the forthcoming season in the Season 2 finale credits, featuring a highly anticipated moment from the third novel in Rick Riordan’s series, The Titan’s Curse. Watch it below.
In the clip, Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) and Percy (Walker Scobell) are standing on the edge of the dance floor in what appears to be a school gymnasium when, all of a sudden, Annabeth takes a deep breath and grabs Percy’s hand, dragging him onto the dance floor. The moment advances the romantic tension between the two teens in a major way, and director James Bobin previously teased that the scene would appear in the first episode of Season 3.
There are several anticipated moments and character introductions to come in the third season. At the Season 2 premiere in December, Scobell teased to Deadline that he had recently filmed “a really big scene in the middle of a junkyard,” hinting to fans that another pivotal moment from the books was set to unfold in the series as well.
Season 3, based on The Titan’s Curse, the third installment in Rick Riordan’s book series, is currently in production in Vancouver.
