Will There Be A ‘Blood Of Zeus' Season 4 On Netflix?
Hades (voice of Fred Tatasciore) and Hera (voice of Claudia Ann Christian) in "Blood of Zeus: Season ... More 3." The animated adventure series Blood of Zeus returned to Netflix this week for Season 3. Is another season on the way? Created and written by Charley Parlapanides and Vlas Parlapanides, Blood of Zeus kicked off in 2020 with its first season consisting of eight episodes, and returned for Season 2 and eight more episodes in 2024. Both seasons of Blood of Zeus scored perfect 100% 'fresh' ratings from Rotten Tomatoes critics. Blood of Zeus Season 3 arrived on streaming on Thursday and Netflix and like the previous two seasons, it consists of eight episodes. Unfortunately for fans of the series, Blood of Zeus Season 3 is also its final season. The announcement of Season 3 on July 27, 2024, per Deadline, came with the bittersweet news that the show would not be back for Season 4. In a video posted on the Blood of Zeus YouTube channel on Wednesday, Charley Parlapanides and Vlas Parlapanides expressed their gratitude to the show's viewers. 'We just wanted to thank all the fans that have supported the show over the years," Charley Parlapanides said in the video. 'It's been three incredible seasons across five years and we're eternally grateful for all your support, and we just ask that if you love Blood of Zeus, if you love Castlevania — if you love shows like this — please keep watching because that's the only way the streamers will continue to make more shows like this.' The official summary of Blood of Zeus Season 3 reads, 'After the events of Season 2, the clash between gods and demigods is brought to the brink as Heron's battle continues amongst the likes of Ares, Athena, Persephone and Hades.' In the video thanking fans for supporting the series, Charley Parlapanides alerted fans to 'be prepared,' adding, 'In Season 3, it's all out war and we didn't want to pull any punches. If we were going to release Typhon and Kronos and the Titans, we knew there's going to have to be bloodshed, but we think it's earned, but just prepare yourself. It's a heck of a ride, but it does get bumpy.' Also in the video, Vlas Parlapanides said Blood of Zeus Season 3 is "the most engaging of the three seasons and we think everyone's going to love it.' 'Yes, it is a roller coaster, yes, it is intense at times, but the payoff is amazing and it has an emotional wallop of an ending that you're all going to love — guarantee it,' he added. Blood of Zeus Season 3 is already getting love from Rotten Tomatoes critics, as it has a 100% 'fresh' rating. However, the rating is based on only five reviews as of Friday, so it could change. Seasons 1 and 2 of the show's 100% 'fresh' ratings were based on 21 and 15 reviews, respectively, on RT. Blood of Zeus Season 1 received an 87% 'fresh' rating on RT's Popcornmeter based on 1,000 verified user ratings, while Season 2 earned a 97% 'fresh' rating on the Popcornmeter based on 100-plus verified user ratings. Blood of Zeus stars the voices of Derek Phillips as Heron, Elias Toufexis as Seraphim, Fred Tatasciore as Hades, Claudia Ann Christian as Hera, Jean Gilpin as Gaia, Jessica Henwick as Alexia, Chris Diamantopoulos as Evios, Matt Lowe as Ares, Alfred Molina as Cronus and Jason O'Mara as Zeus. All three seasons of Blood of Zeus are streaming on Netflix.

You Should Watch This Perfect 100% Scored Netflix Show This Week
Netflix At this point it's well-established that Netflix is doing good work with a lot of its animated productions, and many of them, from Arcane to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, are some of the highest scored series on the entire service. But one show can often get overlooked because it's not adapting a big video game. That would be Blood of Zeus, which will return for its third season on Thursday, May 8 this week. Why should you bother with an animated series based on Greek Mythology? Well, how about the fact that it's really, really good. Both seasons of Blood of Zeus have a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, something we almost never see in the entire scope of Netflix content. It also has a 92% audience score with a 97% just for season 2, so many fans are expecting something similar out of season 3. Blood of Zeus Here's the synopsis for Blood of Zeus: If the animation looks familiar, it's because it's the same place that did Castlevania on Netflix, Powerhouse Animation Studio, still doing work on Castlevania Nocturne as well. And if you've seen either Castlevania, you know how good that animation is. This is in fact the final season of Blood of Zeus, ending on its own terms. That means when season 3 airs this week, you'll be able to binge the entire series, which is about four hours per season of eight, half hour episodes. You can't say that about all that many shows on Netflix at this point. Blood of Zeus is a unique Netflix production as it's not an adaptation of anything, but rather an original work created by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides for Netflix specifically. They did once say they were going to shoot for five seasons, but ultimately it was condensed into two. There are at least some echoes of the ultra-hyper violent God of War, the famed video game series, and that is getting a live-action adaptation on Amazon Prime Video down the road. But God of War certainly does not have a monopoly on Greek Mythology (just ask Christopher Nolan). Blood of Zeus I would highly recommend Blood of Zeus even if I haven't seen season 3 in advance. The level of quality has been stellar and it's nice to watch something fully original for a change. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram. Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series and The Earthborn Trilogy.
