Disney Sends Percy Jackson to Netflix Ahead of Season 3 Premiere

Disney has made a strategic move by licensing the first two seasons of Percy Jackson and the Olympians to Netflix, marking the first time the series is available outside of the Disney ecosystem. As of October 4, 2026, the show is streaming globally on Netflix, following a licensing agreement between Disney Entertainment and Netflix. This deal also includes other titles like the Ice Age movies and select Pixar and Walt Disney Animation films, set to roll out into early 2027.

The timing of this move is particularly interesting as it coincides with HBO's upcoming Harry Potter TV reboot in 2027. Disney appears to be leveraging Netflix's massive subscriber base as a marketing tool to boost interest in Percy Jackson ahead of the premiere of its third season on November 20, 2026, which will remain exclusive to Disney+.

Season 3 is significant as it adapts The Titan's Curse, a book that was never filmed by Fox, introducing new characters and plotlines. Despite being Disney+'s most-watched show in 2024, the series faced a long gap between its first and second seasons, risking its core audience aging out. This licensing deal seems aimed at re-engaging viewers and expanding the show's reach.
