Percy Jackson is gearing up for what could be his most pivotal season yet — but fans are worried that another young hero might steal the spotlight before the story even gets a chance to finish.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is set to return for Season 3 later this year, adapting The Titan's Curse and taking the franchise further than the widely criticized Logan Lerman film series ever managed. Disney has not yet confirmed an exact premiere date.

On its own, that would be a major television moment. But Percy isn't the only fantasy adaptation arriving this season.

HBO's Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is officially set to premiere at Christmas, kicking off a planned multi-season adaptation of J.K. Rowling's beloved book series. Though the two shows live on separate streaming platforms, their overlapping audiences, similar coming-of-age fantasy themes, and shared holiday release window have left many Percy Jackson fans feeling uneasy.

Why Fans Fear 'Harry Potter' Will Overshadow 'Percy Jackson'

The concern isn't necessarily that dedicated Percy fans will jump ship. Many viewers will likely watch both series. The real worry is about media dominance. As a brand-new adaptation of one of the world's most recognizable entertainment properties, Harry Potter is expected to command entertainment coverage, social media conversations, advertising, and general curiosity throughout the holiday season.
