‘Percy Jackson and the Olympians’ Casts Two Fan-Favorite Demigods
Among the tidal wave of announcements made at SDCC, Riordan revealed casting news for Season 3 ofPercy Jackson and the Olympians, which is set to enter production soon. Levi Chrisopulos and Olive Abercrombie (pictured above) have joined the series as a pair of fan-favorite demigods from the book series. The two young actors will portray siblings Nico and Bianca di Angelo, the children of Hades, in the future installment, which will adaptThe Titan’s Curse, the third book in thePercy Jacksonsaga, as a further expansion of the Disney+ series.
Riordan is “guardedly optimistic” aboutPercy Jackson and the Olympianscontinuing beyond the next two seasons, but has also stressed that further renewalsrely on one very important condition. A third season renewal was handed out in March of this year, ahead of the second season’s premiere in December, asserting Disney’s confidence in the show. Additional seasons would presumably adapt the final two books in the flagship series,The Battle of the LabyrinthandThe Last Olympian,concluding the story on the screen for those watching.
