"But hey that's how Netflix is": Fans fume as Blood of Zeus season 3 feels rushed and half-baked 

Blood of Zeus season 3 has been released, bringing the final part of the series for the viewers. With the wrath of goddess Gaia unleashing the dangerous villain of the season, Typhon, the new release also takes forward the fights and mysteries that were shown in season 2.

Blood of Zeus season 3 was released on May 8, 2025. Marking the finale of the story, the eight-episode season introduced several new characters and greater challenges for the protagonist Heron, and other gods and mortals.

Fans have been expressing their views on Blood of Zeus season 3. Some have pointed out how the series felt too rushed, with the story coming to an end without delving into details.

Fans also stated that more seasons of the show, as it was initially planned by the creators, would have done more justice to the story. They are also hinting at Netflix being an alleged reason for the abrupt end of the series with Blood of Zeus season 3.

With Heron's death and introduction to Typhon at the end of Blood of Zeus season 2, expectations among the fans were high about how the entire Greek mythology-based story would come to an end. However, they have been taking to social media platforms to express their displeasure at seeing the shortened and rushed treatment of Blood of Zeus season 3.

Initially, the makers of the series had allegedly planned to have around five seasons of the show, bringing more in-depth explorations of the characters and their subplots. Fans commented that such a plan would have worked better, elaborating on Netflix's general series structures and other reasons as potential hurdles for the creators of Blood of Zeus season 3.

A user on Reddit stated:

"I think they should had went with the OG plan, have a five seasons show it seemed rushed (but hey that's how netflix is, they give a show two or three seasons with eight episodes and then cancel it)."

Other users on Reddit also expressed their displeasure with the series, feeling that the plot developments felt flawed and contrived.

Another fan on the platform expressed their wish to have more seasons of the show and said:

"I couldn’t agree more! There’s so much more story to tell and the writers have expressed that they didn’t want it to be cut short; I’m assuming that’s why the last episode may have been a bit hurried. if we watch it enough, hopefully a fourth season will happen! 🤞"

"Def felt like an extra season would have helped flesh out the story," another fan said.

A Reddit user also addressed some gaps in Blood of Zeus season 3 and mentioned:

"Yeah definitely seemed super rushed ! The first 3 episodes and episode 6 were awesome. But then in their attempt to close the story, which ought to have been 5 seasons, in a few episodes produced serious plot holes and gaps."
