The new season will be based on the third book in the young adult novel series, 'The Titan's Curse', and is currently in production.

Why it matters

The addition of acclaimed actors like Wen, Beals, and Smielecki to the cast further elevates the show's profile and signals Disney's commitment to delivering a high-quality adaptation of the beloved source material.

Beals will play Demeter, the goddess of agriculture and the harvest, while Smielecki will take on the role of Apollo, the 'dazzling and charismatic' god of the sun, music, and prophecy. The new cast members join a ensemble that includes Walker Scobell as Percy Jackson, Leah Sava Jeffries as Annabeth Chase, and Aryan Simhadri as Grover Underwood.
