Good news, Half-Bloods.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 will premiere on Nov. 20, Disney+ has announced.

The news arrived as stars Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood), Charlie Bushnell (Luke Castellan), Tamara Smart (Thalia Grace), Levi Chrisopulos (Nico di Angelo) and Olive Abercrombie took to the stage at San Diego Comic-Con on Thursday.

Leah Sava Jeffries, who plays Annabeth Chase, could not appear due to her prior commitment filming The Cheetah Girls: Next Gen. Even still, she sent over a video message for the fans that teed up a look at the opening act of season 3.

The third season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is based on the third installment in author Rick Riordan’s bestselling Percy Jackson book series, The Titan’s Curse.

“The stakes are higher than ever before as Percy is faced with the sudden disappearance of Annabeth and the impending Great Prophecy provided by the Oracle of Delphi, dictating the fate of Olympus,” according to an official description for the season. “As foretold by the Oracle of Delphi, one demigod child of the ‘Big Three’ is fated to raise Olympus to new heights or bring it crashing into ruin, with their own life hanging in the balance.”

Disney+ also shared a teaser video to announce the release date. It finds Percy Jackson in pain as he holds up the entire sky.

“It was my choice to hold the weight. The Titan’s curse. I knew the risk. But if I needed to sacrifice myself to save the world, to save my friends, was it really a choice?” Scobell’s Percy says.

Riordan and Jonathan E. Steinberg created the series. They both executive produce alongside Dan Shotz, Craig Silverstein and Rebecca Riordan.

Disney is the parent company of ABC News and Disney+.

2 people die from measles in Pennsylvania, marking state’s first deaths in 35 years

Measles, Mumps, Rubella vaccine (Getty stock photo/Kittisak Kaewchalun)(NEW YORK) — Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles, the state health department said Tuesday. Both were unvaccinated.These the first deaths related to measles within the state in 35 years, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Health, and the first deaths reported this year in the U.S."My deepest sympathies are with the loved ones who are facing this unimaginable loss," Dr. Debra Bogen, the state's secretary of health, said in a statement. "Because measles was largely eliminated in the Commonwealth for more than three decades, people are not familiar with this disease and don't fully understand the potential severity of the illness."In late July, the number of confirmed measles cases in the U.S. surpassed the total reported for all last year, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.Last year's total of 2,289 was the highest number of recorded measles cases in more than 30 years, CDC data shows. However, the 2,777 total marks the highest number of cases recorded since 1991.The CDC currently recommends that people receive two doses of the MMR vaccine, the first at ages 12 to 15 months and the second between 4 and 6 years old. One dose is 93% effective and two doses are 97% effective against measles, the CDC says.Copyright © 2026, ABC Audio. All rights reserved.
