Percy Jackson and the Olympians star Walker Scobell says Percy is having a difficult time in season three without Annabeth
Walker Scobell discusses Percy Jackson’s characters arc for season three, and how the character is coping without Annabeth
Popverse's top stories
Being a teenage demigod can be tough, which is why it’s good to have friends along for the journey. However, Percy Jackson is missing one of his closest friends this season, and even the actor is feeling the sting. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season three will adapt the book The Titan’s Curse, where Annabeth is captured and separated from Percy for the bulk of the story. Filming the season felt surreal for Percy Jackson actor Walker Scobell, who was used to having Annabeth Chase actress Leah Sava Jeffries as his scene partner.
“I think one of my favorite things about Percy is every time there is some impossible thing, there’s just not a question in his mind, he’s going to do it,” Walker Scobell said during a Percy Jackson and the Olympians panel at D23 Expo 2026. “That’s so fun to play as an actor. Watching Annabeth go off the edge, it’s kind of like, okay, here we go, let’s do it. Going through this whole thing without Annabeth…Leah - I’ve done basically every single scene with Leah since we started the show, and this is the first time where she’s just gone for like six months. That was weird and it was kind of like getting used to being alone in the school trailer and then getting used to having Olive [Abercrombie] and Levi [Chrisopulos] in there.”
If you see Percy missing Annabeth this season, just know it’s not acting, the actor actually misses his bestie, and there’s something heartwarming about that. Even teenage demigods need their besties.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians season three premieres on Disney+ November 20.
