Announced at Comic Con this past weekend, Neflix’s animated fantasy series Blood of Zeus will be returning for a third and final season. That show has not charted in the Nielsen Streaming Rankings across its first two seasons, but that is not uncommon for animated entries. It has been very well received by critics and audiences, though, currently holding a 100% Fresh Rating and 93% Audience Score at Rotten Tomatoes. A three-season run used to be fairly standard for Netflix orginals with the third announced in advance as the show’s last. This gives the show the chance to wrap up its storylines. Creators Vlas Parlapanides and Charley Parlapanides had the following to say about what to expect from the show’s final year:
In Season Three, we are so excited to continue the story of Heron, Seraphim and the gods as they face their most dangerous adversaries yet, Typhon, Cronus and the Titans.
This announcement adds one more show to the renewal column as we close out the 2023-24 season, and it brings the Cancellation/Renewal Score to 34 renewed sci fi and fantasy entries (44% of shows tracked) vs. 21 cancelled and ending (27%). You can see the breakdown of the numbers and the full list of shows for the current and prior seasons at our Cancellation Watch Page.
Blood of Zeus tells the “lost history” of the Greek gods as it follows Heron, the demigod son of Zeus, who finds himself in a battle with demons and giants to save Olympus. The voice cast includes Derek Phillips, Jason O’Mara, Claudia Christian, Elias Toufexis, and Mamie Gummer.
We are almost at the end of the 2023-24 season and I expect more announcements to come over the next month or so. You can see the status of all this season’s shows at this link. And be sure to follow this site and the Cancelled Sci Fi Twitter Site for updates and breaking news.
