Disney Percy Jackson marketing push

Entities: San Diego Comic-Con · Walker Scobell · Disney+ · Dan Shotz · The Titan's Curse

Overview

Disney Hyperion’s summer‑reading campaign for the 20th anniversary of Percy Jackson continued through late July 2026. The San Diego Comic‑Con panel on 23 July announced Season 3, titled “The Curse of the Titan,” slated for a 20 November 2026 Disney+ debut, confirming production completion and releasing a teaser that shows Percy shouldering Atlas. Core cast members Walker Scobell, Aryan Simhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Tamara Smart, Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie were highlighted, alongside new Olympian gods, the Hunters of Artemis, and the di Angelo twins. Showrunner Dan Shotz noted Annabeth’s limited on‑screen presence, prompting a shift to new locations.

The panel also unveiled the “Percy Jackson Experience,” an interactive attraction built around a giant trident where visitors can follow Percy, Annabeth or Thalia’s paths, view exclusive footage and purchase merchandise.

A follow‑up teaser released on 28 July, directed by Anders Engström and written by Jonathan E. Steinberg, added characters such as Leah Sava Jeffries and confirmed the storyline will adapt the revived ancient monster and Artemis’s disappearance, giving the heroes a week to avert Olympus’s destruction.

That same day Disney+ formally announced the November 20, 2026 premiere, stating the season adapts the third book, “The Titan’s Curse.” The plot centers on Percy being accused of stealing Zeus’s master bolt, launching a quest to recover it, confront Cronus’s schemes, and rescue the missing goddess Artemis. The teaser emphasizes a monster powerful enough to threaten Olympus and confirms worldwide availability on Disney+.

Executive producers Dan Shotz and Craig Silverstein remain central to the coordinated effort to revitalize Percy Jackson across print, streaming and live experiences.
