PERCY JACKSON SEASON 3 TRAILER: THE TITAN’S CURSE IS COMING

Disney+ has released the official trailer for Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and this time we're dealing with The Titan's Curse. Based on the third book in Rick Riordan's series, the new season finds Percy trying to rescue Annabeth after she's captured by some of Kronos' baddies. The season premieres November 20 with two episodes, followed by two more each week. Check out the trailer below.

I've been fascinated by Greek mythology since grade school, when we first started learning about those zany gods. I've read the entire Percy Jackson series and all of the accompanying series while introducing my daughters to the books as well. I thought the movies were alright, and they did give the world the amazing Alexandra Daddario. The Disney+ series, though, has been great. It's given these stories more room to breathe than the books ever had, and I've really enjoyed what they've done with it so far.

That being said, sometimes it still feels like the episodes blow right past things that deserve a little more attention. Eight episodes a season seems a little light for something like this. I've always thought 13 episodes would be the perfect amount, but I don't run television shows or pay for them, so there you go.

Walker Scobell returns as Percy, alongside Leah Sava’ Jeffries as Annabeth, Aryan Simhadri as Grover, Charlie Bushnell as Luke and Tamara Smart as Thalia. Joining them this season are Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie as Nico and Bianca di Angelo, Saara Chaudry as Zoë Nightshade, and David Costabile as Dr. Thorn. We're also getting some new gods, with Ming-Na Wen playing Hera, Kate McKinnon as Aphrodite, Jennifer Beals as Demeter and Hubert Smielecki as Apollo. One thing I do love heading into Season 3 is the casting of Dafne Keen as Artemis. I think she's a great choice for the role.

I'm also happy to see how quickly Disney has turned this season around. We've gotten so used to waiting a year and a half, sometimes longer, between seasons that getting Season 3 in the same year Season 2 finished feels like an accomplishment. It's nice to see a show moving in the other direction for once. We don't need these kids to be in their 30s by the time we finish this one.
