Dafne Keen Joins Disney’s Percy Jackson Season 3

Disney+ is adding new faces to Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3. Dafne Keen (Deadpool & Wolverine) and Saara Chaudry (PAW Patrol: The Movie) have joined the cast in recurring roles.

New Characters in Season 3

Keen will play Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt. Chaudry will portray Zoë Nightshade, a key character from The Titan’s Curse, the third book in Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, which season 3 is based on.

The casting news was shared through the show’s official Instagram account.

Season 3 Moving Forward Before Season 2 Launch

Disney+ renewed the series for a third season in March, months ahead of the season 2 premiere, which arrives December 10. Production on season 2 has already wrapped, and the new cast members signal that development on the next installment is underway.

Season 3 will introduce more characters from Greek mythology, including Artemis’ Hunters. Zoë Nightshade plays a major role in the book and is expected to be central to the plot of the season.
