In an interview, Walker talked about rumors surrounding two popular book characters, Charles Beckendorf and Silena Beauregard.

The creators previously said these characters would become regulars, but Walker confirmed they won’t be in the upcoming season.

“There’s just there’s just too much going on,” he explained. “There are a couple other characters that we introduce [in Season 3], but it’s not Silena and Beckendorf. I’m only saying that now because I know that, when the press tour starts, I’m going to get a million questions that’s like, ‘How is working with Silena and how is working with Beckendorf?'”

Although Beckendorf and Silena won’t appear in Season 3, Walker suggested their introduction could happen if the series continues.

According to the actor, the show’s creators are “figuring out, if we get to do another season, how that’s going to work.”

He also admitted he prefers not to make promises about storylines that haven’t been finalized.

“I always try to avoid answering those questions not because I don’t want to give it away, but because I have no idea how it’s going to work,” he said.

“If I give an answer now and it’s not what we do, then I have to go back and be like, ‘Oh, actually I think that was a really dumb idea,” Walker joked.

Walker is preparing for the third season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, which premieres November 20 on Disney+ and Hulu with two episodes.
