UPDATE: Iconic fantasy author Rick Riordan has just announced that Holt McCallany will portray the formidable Titan Atlas in the upcoming third season of the Disney+ series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians. This thrilling revelation adds an exciting twist to the already acclaimed adaptation, set to premiere on December 19, 2023.
Fans of the series are buzzing with anticipation after Riordan confirmed that McCallany will appear in a total of six episodes. As the storyline unfolds, the Titan Atlas will become a central antagonist, intensifying the stakes as Percy and his friends face off against the looming threat of Kronos, the powerful Titan orchestrating chaos from the shadows.
In a recent interview, Riordan emphasized the significance of Atlas’s physical presence, stating,
“The threat in season 3 becomes real… a real in-your-face, physical manifestation.”
This development marks a pivotal moment for the series as it progresses through the saga laid out in The Titan’s Curse, the third book in Riordan’s beloved series.
As the second season continues to captivate audiences with its gripping plot, Percy, Annabeth, and their friends embark on an unsanctioned quest to retrieve the legendary Golden Fleece. Season 2 has already premiered two episodes, with new episodes dropping each week until January 21, 2026, leading to an exciting eight-episode season.
The introduction of Atlas signals a significant turning point in the series. In The Titan’s Curse, both Annabeth and the goddess Artemis are captured by Atlas, compelling Percy and his allies to mount a rescue mission. This season not only deepens the mythological elements but also introduces new demigods who could shift the balance in the fight against Kronos.
The star-studded cast continues to grow, featuring Dior Goodjohn as Clarisse and notable guest appearances by Toby Stephens (Poseidon), Andra Day (Athena), and Courtney B. Vance (Zeus), alongside returning favorites such as Lin-Manuel Miranda as Hermes and Adam Copeland as Ares.
With Riordan’s passion and dedication to the source material, fans can expect a thrilling and faithful adaptation that resonates with both longtime readers and new viewers. As the series progresses, the stakes rise, and the battle against Kronos becomes increasingly urgent.
