Season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians has barely hit streaming platforms, yet fans and its star, Walker Scobell, are eagerly anticipating what Season 3 might bring.
**Spoiler Alert: The following contains spoilers for the Season 2 finale of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, available now on Disney+ and Hulu**
In the climactic finale, Percy, Annabeth (portrayed by Leah Sava Jeffries), and their friends at Camp Half-Blood successfully use the Golden Fleece to resurrect Thalia Grace (played by Tamara Smart). Now, viewers are left in suspense, curious about how the dynamics between Percy and Thalia will unfold.
Walker Scobell, a self-proclaimed fan of Rick Riordan’s third book in the Percy Jackson series, The Titan’s Curse, is particularly excited about a scene he improvised during filming.
“It really reflects the vibe of the season and the chemistry among us,” Scobell shared in a recent conversation with DECIDER, remaining tight-lipped about the specifics of the scene.
The young actor did share that the scene he’s excited for fans to see involves Thalia and includes an improvised moment on his part, but that it could end up on the cutting room floor for one reason or another. That said, he’s still excited for all that is to come between his character and Smart’s, who will go back and forth as Percy and Thalia have a seriously complicated relationship in the original source material.
“I think her and Percy’s banter is pretty funny,” Scobell shared. “I think out of everybody, I would say Tamara and I are, I guess, closest to each one of our characters in that way because we have the same arguments on and off set… For us, it’s funny. For Percy? Yeah, not so funny.”
The good news is that fans will not have to wait too long to find out what kind of arguments Thalia and Percy are having in Season 3, as Disney+ has confirmed the next season will hit the streaming service by the end of the year. It’s a welcome announcement after a nearly two-year break between the release of the first season and the second season.
Additionally, Disney is keeping the fans fed with recent casting announcements, first looks, and teasers, including one short snippet of Percy and Annabeth’s dance scene, which was released on Wednesday just hours after the finale hit Disney+ and Hulu.
Along with the clip, fans have also gotten the confirmation of incoming actors like Olive Abercrombie and Levi Chrisopulos who will play Nico and Bianca di Angelo, sibling demigods who Grover (Aryan Simhadri) finds at a military school in New England. Logan actress Dafne Keen and Saara Chaudry also join the cast for Season 3, playing Artemis and Zoë Nightshade, respectively.
No official word yet on the date for Season 3, but knowing it’s coming this year is at least a start. In the meantime, fans can always read (or reread) The Titan’s Curse to prepare!
