“Percy Jackson” star Walker Scovell said on his Instagram Story on Sunday that he will be skipping his high school prom because many of his dates are receiving death threats from adoring fans.
“Just to let you all know, I will not be attending prom,” he wrote. “Please stop sending death threats to all the teenage girls who may have a relationship with me because of their proximity to where I live. It’s unfair to them and their families. Maybe you can stop sending death threats in general. That’s not cool. It’s kind of weird that I have to say this.”
Scobell appears in Percy Jackson as the titular son of Poseidon. Other cast members include Leah Sava Jeffries, Aryan Singhadri, Charlie Bushnell, Dior Goodjohn, Daniel Diemer, and Glynn Turman. Based on Rick Riordan’s widely popular YA book series, Percy Jackson and the Olympians follows Percy and his demigod friends as they harness their powers and embark on a mythological quest at camp Half-Blood.
Season 1 of Percy Jackson, streaming on Hulu and Disney+, was released in December 2023. Season 2 premiered in December 2025. The show was renewed for season 3 in March 2025, ahead of season 2’s premiere. The third season is expected to be released in late 2026 and will follow the events of The Titan’s Curse, the third book in Riordan’s Lightning Thief saga.
In his review of Percy Jackson Season 2 for Variety, TV critic Aramide Tinubu wrote that the second season is “just as high as the first,” boasting “much higher stakes,” and that “the vast world becomes increasingly fascinating and robust.”
