Fans of Percy Jackson and the Olympians won’t have to wait too long for the third season of the show, after a climactic second season finale complete with mid-credit scene.

What’s Happening: 

• The Season 2 finale of Percy Jackson and the Olympians dropped today on Disney+ and Hulu, leaving audiences buzzing about its conclusion. 
• However, viewers were treated to a tease that promised that the wait for the next chapter won’t be long. 
• Midway through the credits, viewers were treated to a surprise first look at Season 3, confirming that the series will return later this year. 

• Though we’ve already known that production is underway on the third season of the hit series, we didn’t really have a timeframe in which to expect it. Now we know that the series will return with new episodes later this year. 
• Season 3 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians is currently in production in Vancouver and is based on The Titan’s Curse, the third installment in Rick Riordan’s bestselling Disney Hyperion book series.
• In the meantime, all episodes of Season 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians are now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.

But That Scene:

• Discussing the finale’s post-credits scene, executive producer Craig Silverstein revealed that the moment was originally filmed for Episode 5 (“We Check In to C.C.'s Spa and Resort”). “That piece was sort of floating out there,” he explained, calling it the perfect way to close the season with a glimpse at the larger mythological world. Star Walker Scobell agreed, adding that he loved how it conveyed that “the world just goes on… this is just a challenge for another person now.”
• This was revealed as the cast and creative team took a break from the production of Season Three for a TCA Press conference, diving into the climactic season finale and teasing what’s coming in the new season. 
• You can find out more about that from our own Alex Reif, who wraps up the conference and reveals all the big stories coming from the session.
