Season three of Netflix’s adult animated series Blood of Zeus, created by Charley and Vlas Parlapanides, marks the end of a mythological epic.
While it delivers some strong emotional and action-packed moments, it’s clear that this story was supposed to be told in five seasons, as the creators had envisioned.
Slight spoilers in the rest of the article.
The season picks up directly after the events of season two, Heron was seemingly killed by Hades, who wished to be set free from the Underworld, causing the Earth goddess Gaia to unleash the Titans to punish the Olympian gods.
So Heron, his brother Seraphim, and the gods must fight back against Cronos and his Titans.
It’s a mostly compelling storyline that leans heavily into themes of redemption, unity, and the struggle between gods and Titans.
However, early episodes suffered as they focused on the gods — apart from Zeus, Hera, Hades, and Persephone — who had lots of development in previous seasons. So their stories remain interesting.
The season is strongest when Heron and Seraphim finally return to the spotlight in episode three. Their dynamic is once again the heart of the series, and Seraphim’s arc in particular is a standout, offering one of the most nuanced portrayals in the show. Their parallel journeys — filled with pain, growth, and conflict — are a reminder of what Blood of Zeus does best.
Unfortunately some subplots — like Gaia and Hades’ and Persephone’s children — are left hanging. And aside from Cronos and Typhon, we don’t really get much of the Titans.
That said, the final battle delivers on spectacle. The series builds toward a grand showdown between gods and Titans, and it pays off with visually impressive action and real stakes.
And this season wasn’t afraid to kill off characters, raising the dramatic weight.
Away from the plot, the show has some amazing visuals in the fight scenes, especially the final episode.
Blood of Zeus ends on a note of unity. The gods, once divided, are forced to work together to survive. The idea that cooperation is stronger than domination is woven throughout.
This idea that it’s all about cooperation and understanding was planted early, and isn’t just about the gods, but Heron and Seraphim too.
The two brothers also get a good ending that they were built up to from the beginning, that the show ends with, as at the end of the day, it was always about them.
In the end, Blood of Zeus season three is a satisfying conclusion burdened by its shortened run — but it still offers flashes of brilliance, particularly in character arcs and action.
