News Percy Jackson and the Olympians Percy Jackson Season 3 Adds Ming-Na Wen, Jennifer Beals, and Hubert Smielecki in Key God Roles Ming-Na Wen will play Hera, Jennifer Beals will portray Demeter, and Hubert Smielecki joins as Apollo in the upcoming season By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on February 19, 2026 Credit: Lucasfilm Comment 0 Share New Share Credit: Lucasfilm Percy Jackson and the Olympians is moving full steam ahead, and we’ve got some additional casting news for the third season of the series. Variety is reporting that Ming-Na Wen, Jennifer Beals, and Hubert Smielecki are now part of the show’s growing cast and will portray various gods in the upcoming season. Wen, whose previous credits include The Mandalorian (pictured above), Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and voicing Mulan in 1998’s Mulan, will play Hera. The show describes her as “queen of Olympus, and wife to Zeus. She is the goddess of marriage and family so the infidelity of Zeus (Courtney B. Vance) rankles her. Regal, maternal and no-nonsense, Hera is the only god besides Zeus who has children who are also members of the Olympian council, which gives her leverage in the family politics.” Beals (The Book of Boba Fett, The L Word) will guest star as Demeter, “the goddess of agriculture, the harvest and the cycle of life and death. A respected sister of Zeus, Demeter remembers the war against the Titans very well, and will do what she must to prevent the return of her father Kronos (Nick Boraine).” Relative newcomer Smielecki (Ransom Canyon) will be Apollo, “the dazzling and charismatic god of the sun as well as music, poetry, archery and prophecy. He is the literal golden boy of Olympus and twin brother to the goddess Artemis, the moon to his sun.” Wen, Beals, and Smielecki are far from the only new cast members we’ll see in season three. We already knew that Dafne Keene and Saara Chaudry were playing Artemis and Nightshade, and that Kate McKinnon will be Aphrodite. There’s not an official release date for the third season, but we found out after the season two cliffhanger this January that it will come out on Disney+ sometime in 2026.
