The Disney Plus adaptation of Percy Jackson has officially been renewed for a third season, which will adapt the third book, The Titan's Curse. This season will notably introduce Nico di Angelo, a fan-favorite character known for his tragic backstory and LGBTQ representation as the first openly queer character in the Riordanverse. Fans have been anticipating his arrival since the first season as both he and his sister Bianca are introduced as the children of Hades. Nico's inclusion highlights the shift towards more diverse representation in children’s media, continuing to resonate with both longtime readers and new audiences.
Fans have been looking out for mentions of Nico di Angelo since the first season of the Disney Plus show. Nico and his sister Bianca first appeared in The Titan's Curse, where Percy and his friends are tasked to escort two mysterious siblings to Camp Half-Blood.
Even after the original series wrapped up, Nico stayed on as a major player in the subsequent books across the Heroes of Olympus and Trials of Apollo series. He also has his own spinoff series, penned by both Riordan and author Mark Oshiro.
With a tragic backstory and perfect edgy goth looks, Nico has been a fan favorite since the very beginning. And he's also notable for being the first openly queer character in the Riordanverse.
It'll be a full circle moment to see him on screen for the fans who grew up reading his stories.
