Percy Jackson Season 3 Gets Exciting Story Confirmation from Walker Scobell (Exclusive)

by

In an interview with TopMob’s Gillian Blum, Walker Scobell, who plays Percy Jackson in the Disney+ series, said the upcoming third season is “probably the most faithful to the books we’ve done so far.” He also shared a few details about what fans can expect. Currently, Season 2, which is based on Rick Riordan’s The Sea of Monsters, is being released weekly on Disney+, and Season 3, adapted from The Titan’s Curse, is now being filmed.

Scobell said the book works well as the basis for an eight-episode series and that he’s been very pleased with how it’s developing.

Season 3 feels like the closest adaptation of the book we’ve seen so far. The story naturally fits into eight episodes, and everything has come together really well. I’m very pleased with how it’s turned out.

He hinted that the upcoming third season will be a significant improvement over the second, just like the second season was over the first. Scobell also believes that if the show gets a fourth season, it will likely follow the same pattern of growth and development.

I’m really excited about Season 3! While I enjoyed Season 2, Season 3 is on another level entirely. Each season feels like a big step up from the last, and I’m hoping if we get a Season 4, it will continue that trend of constantly improving.

Walker Scobell appears with Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, and Daniel Diemer in Season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. New episodes are available on Disney+ each Wednesday.

Walker Scobell Teases Percy’s Season 3 Arc; ‘He’s Locked Onto That Specific Goal’

This article will reveal some small details about The Titan’s Curse book and the third season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+, so be warned!

In The Titan’s Curse, a key part of Percy Jackson’s story involves his desperate effort to find Annabeth after she falls from a cliff. He initially fears the worst, believing she may have died, but later discovers she’s been captured.

In Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Walker Scobell portrays a Percy who is dealing with more intense and emotional challenges than viewers have seen before. This version of the character is noticeably more serious and troubled.

Scobell portrayed Percy in Season 3 as completely focused on rescuing Annabeth. He explained that after witnessing Annabeth’s fall, Percy experiences a moment of panic and never quite recovers from the shock.

According to Scobell, as soon as Annabeth falls at the start of Episode 2, Percy instantly focuses all his energy on rescuing her. This dedication remains consistent throughout the episode, mirroring the storyline in the books.

  • TopMob: A lot of fans have been talking about what Percy’s reaction to Annabeth’s presumed betrayal of him in [Season 2,] Episode 2 means for his upcoming Season 3 crash out when she is believed dead. What can fans expect from angsty Percy next season?

Walker Scobell describes his character as intensely focused on a single goal, to the exclusion of everything else. He says that when a major event occurs, his character has a brief moment of panic but doesn’t fully grasp what’s happened. Instead, he immediately refocuses on achieving his objective – rescuing the girl – and doesn’t let anything distract him. Scobell emphasizes that this portrayal is very faithful to the source material in the books, and viewers can expect the show to follow that same trajectory.

Walker Scobell, who plays Percy Jackson, explained that a major part of Percy’s development over the three seasons is learning to control his impulsive nature. He noted that in Season 2, Percy becomes quite careful and hesitant, but in Season 3, he has to overcome that caution because survival in that world requires taking risks.

He’s thrilled for viewers to see his character’s journey toward responsibility in Season 2, though he eventually discovers that approach isn’t sustainable. Even when he reverts to his more impulsive nature, he’ll be making those decisions with a bit more consideration.

Playing Percy has been a fascinating journey. At first, especially in Season 1, he was very impulsive, likely because he was so young. But as the show progressed, we saw him become much more cautious in Season 2. Now, filming Season 3, it’s like he’s actively trying to overcome that caution. In this world, you can’t really survive by being overly careful. I’m really looking forward to viewers seeing his development – how he learns to be responsible, realizes that approach doesn’t work, and ultimately returns to being more spontaneous, but with a bit more consideration.
