Percy Jackson Fans Split Over Finale Rewrite as Season 3 Gets Underway

A contentious change to Thalia’s backstory dominates discussion, with producers framing it as setup for a higher‑stakes third season.

Overview

The Season 2 finale introduced a significant alteration to Thalia’s story, drawing sharp criticism from some viewers and cautious optimism from others.
Executive producer Craig Silverstein told Entertainment Weekly the adjustment is intended to deepen Thalia’s conflict with Olympus and energize future plotlines.
Inside the Magic reports fans debating whether the shift undermines the series’ moral complexity or clarifies the gods’ motives and Luke’s rebellion.
Season 3 is already in production and is reported to be slated for Disney+ later this year, with creative leads signaling a darker tone.
Star Walker Scobell says the new season closely adapts The Titan’s Curse, keeps key book moments like the Percabeth dance, and raises the stakes as the characters mature.
