The world of Camp Half-Blood is about to get even more divine.
Season three of Percy Jackson and the Olympians has added three major names to its growing pantheon, with Ming-Na Wen, Jennifer Beals and Hubert Smielecki stepping into the roles of powerful Greek deities.
Wen will appear as Hera, the formidable queen of Olympus and spouse of Zeus. As the guardian of marriage and family, Hera’s patience is frequently tested by her husband’s betrayals. Commanding and composed, she holds rare influence among the gods — her children sit on the Olympian council, giving her a decisive voice in celestial power struggles.
Beals takes on Demeter, the revered goddess tied to the harvest and the rhythms of life and death. A seasoned survivor of the ancient Titan war, Demeter remains wary of looming threats — especially the possibility of Kronos rising again. Her resolve to protect Olympus at any cost could prove pivotal as tensions mount.
Meanwhile, Smielecki joins the series as Apollo, the radiant god of the sun. Known for his gifts in music, prophecy, poetry and archery, Apollo shines brightly — both literally and figuratively — as the charismatic twin of Artemis.
The trio brings impressive credentials to the mythic drama. Wen earned global recognition voicing the title character in Mulan and has appeared in projects ranging from Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. to The Mandalorian.
Beals remains an enduring screen presence since her breakout in Flashdance and her acclaimed run on The L Word. Smielecki recently drew attention for his work on Ransom Canyon.
Based on the bestselling novels by Rick Riordan, the fantasy adventure follows Percy Jackson, a teen who discovers he is the son of Poseidon and is thrust into a dangerous universe of gods and monsters. Alongside Annabeth and Grover, he navigates quests that test friendship, bravery and destiny itself.
