‘One Piece’ Drops a Season 2 Video and Confirms Season 3

Netflix has given One Piece an early season three renewal and unveiled a one-minute first-look video along with new photos from the upcoming second season. The just-announced third season will return to Cape Town to shoot. 

One Piece premiered in August 2023, and season two is targeting a 2026 launch. The streamer didn’t confirm when season three will be released.

The popular series based on Eiichiro Oda’s bestselling manga series stars Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. Ian Stokes will team up with Joe Tracz as co-showrunners for season three.

“Netflix’s epic high-seas pirate adventure, One Piece, returns for season two—unleashing fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet. Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line—a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.”
