Production on season 3 will kick off in Cape Town, South Africa later this year. Ian Stokes, who has been co-executive producer on One Piece, is set to join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner. He succeeds Matt Owens who departed in March after serving as executive producer and co-showrunner on Seasons 1 and 2. Tracz became co-showrunner in Season 2 and has been shepherding the season through post-production following Owens' exit.
Here's the logline for season 2, which promises to 'unleash 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. 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.'
Executive Producers for season 2 are Tracz and Owens, Eiichiro Oda, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Christoph Schrewe and Steven Maeda. The show is created in partnership with Shueisha and is produced by Tomorrow Studios (an ITV Studios partner).
One Piece follows Monkey D. Luffy on his quest to find the legendary fabled treasure, the One Piece, and become King of the Pirates. After its debut on Netflix in 2023, the live-action series spent eight weeks on the Global Top 10, reaching No. 1 in over 75 countries and making history as the first Netflix English-language series to debut at No. 1 in Japan. The show has nearly 100M views and is one of Netflix's most downloaded shows of all time.

Netflix's massive tvOS app redesign rolls out to Apple TV 4K now — here's what's new
In May, Netflix announced a massive redesign of its user interface for its mobile and TV apps, the first in over a decade. However, the design wasn't available for Apple TV owners until today. Initially spotted by Redditors (via 9to5Mac), the updated, if controversial, design appears to have gone live with the most recent tvOS update. If you're not seeing it on your Apple TV 4K, make sure you have the latest version of the Netflix app installed. The update gives the app a fresh look with a new homepage that is focused on clarity and speed. Movie and TV show titles will now show more information upfront, including whether or not it's trending or award-winning. Some navigation tools have been moved. Shortcuts like My List and Search, previously in the sidebar, are now at the top of the screen. My List has been renamed My Netflix and will contain your Continue Watching, My List and Remind Me tabs. As with everything else, Netflix is dipping its toes into generative AI. The streamer version involves natural language to describe your mood. So typing something like 'I want something funny and upbeat' should bring back titles that fit those descriptions. While the design has stirred criticism from many, Apple TV users might find the redesign more welcome as Netflix and Apple now resemble each other. The Apple TV app already uses a similar navigation bar at the top of the screen. Apple is also giving its app a visual update with tvOS 26 which is also supposed to be more fluid and simple. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Reportedly, Apple is going to launch a new Apple TV 4K streaming device later this fall with more smart home updates and a better chip. We could see it debut during the September iPhone 17 launch event or possibly in October. What do you think of the new Netflix tvOS app design? Let us know.

Gerard Butler's Movies Tend to Fly Under the Radar in Theaters, but They're Living It Up in Netflix's Top 10
Each week, Netflix drops a list of the top 10 films and TV shows dominating the platform, and for the week of Aug. 4, two Gerard Butler films appear in the US Top 10 list: 2016's Gods of Egypt and 2023's Kandahar. Butler is a reliable movie star whose career is filled with action and adventure films (and the kid-friendly How to Train Your Dragon franchise), but I didn't realize that his name carried so much weight -- and that he was this prolific -- until I noticed he stars in six films currently available on Netflix right now (and has starred in 10 films in the last five years alone). Those two new releases on Netflix are vastly different: Gods of Egypt is a fantasy action film set in a version of ancient Egypt in which Egyptian deities exist among humans, while Kandahar is a realistic action thriller about a CIA operative (Butler) on a mission in Afghanistan who finds himself hunted by enemy forces after his cover is blown. Both films' popularity seems to defy logic when you compare them with what they're up against. In the past month, huge box office movies like Mad Max: Fury Road, Jaws and Jurassic Park dropped on the platform, and yet none of these traditional blockbusters charted after they were added to the movie library. Meanwhile, Kandahar, which grossed just $5 million at the US box office, debuted at No. 6 in the Top 10 last week (and currently sits at No. 2 this week), and Butler is easily the film's most notable star. (On the other hand, Gods of Egypt is a pretty star-studded affair, co-starring Chadwick Boseman, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Geoffrey Rush and Rufus Sewell, though the film is considered one of 2016's biggest "box office bombs" for reportedly losing Lionsgate $90 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter.) Lionsgate Butler's other films currently on the platform include Plane (2023), London Has Fallen (2016), Den of Thieves 2: Pantera (2025), and Last Seen Alive (2022). According to Netflix's public top 10 lists, every one of these films entered the Netflix Top 10 when they first arrived on the streamer. While some things about Netflix's algorithms and trends can be a mystery, it seems that one thing is certain: Gerard Butler, no matter what he's in, is a sure bet.

VUONG: Not one more tax dollar to TIFF until they find their moral compass
TIFF can't seem to get its story straight. Usually, this is a sign that someone is not telling the truth. On Aug. 12, Hollywood news site Deadline broke the news that TIFF uninvited Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich from screening his documentary, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue. This heroic story, which was first covered by 60 Minutes, is one that should inspire anyone who cares about family, duty, and the triumph of good over evil. It follows retired soldier and Israeli veteran Noam Tibon who set out to rescue his two granddaughters on Oct. 7, 2023 and saved, along the way, survivors of the Nova music festival massacre and helped wounded soldiers. In response to Deadline, a TIFF spokesperson claimed 'conditions that were requested when the film was initially invited, were not met, including legal clearance of all footage.' Sorry, whose clearance? The film includes self-recorded footage from designated terror group Hamas, is that who TIFF is worried about? Terrorists? Never mind the fact that the footage should fall under 'fair dealing' or that it has already been used in other films and art installations, including the Nova exhibition that just wrapped up in Toronto in June. Does TIFF recognize who they are siding with? Hamas has been on Canada's terror list since 2002 and, on Oct. 7, 2023, they murdered over 1,200 innocent people, including eight Canadians. Following the justified Canadian and international outrage, TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey issued a statement on Aug. 13 to try and shift the narrative with a new story regarding alleged 'claims that the film was rejected due to censorship are unequivocally false.' This is called a Red Herring. 'Sure the economy is bad, but the real issue is crime (please stop talking about our economic record)!' Contrast this with TIFF's response last year following their announcement on Sept. 10, 2024 to screen Russian propaganda film, Russians at War, that was protested by Ukrainian Canadians for whitewashing their soldiers' actions in Ukraine: Sept. 11 — TIFF released a statement defending the film and affirming their commitment to artistic expression and free speech Sept. 12 — TIFF pauses screenings of the film Sept. 17 — TIFF resumes screenings of Russians at War and is shown outside of the official festival dates to accommodate for the pause One can't help but notice the stark difference in how TIFF conducted itself in response to these two films. They stood up for one and found a way to screen it, even going outside of last year's festival dates, and cut another on not only the flimsiest of reasons but also the most morally repugnant. So what is the real reason for TIFF uninviting a Canadian filmmaker from screening his documentary about an Israeli grandfather saving his family and rescuing countless other innocent civilians? Is it inherent antisemitism within their ranks as some people have alleged? If they're worried about safety, bowing to the hateful mob all but guarantees disruptions. If this is a matter of art and freedom of expression, then the consistent response would have been for TIFF to defend and screen both films. WARMINGTON: TIFF film censorship shows Toronto's antisemitism to the world KOREN: TIFF's shameful erasure of the Israeli perspective If not, just what are our tax dollars, from all levels of government, funding? If it's not art and it is not supporting Canadian filmmakers like Barry Avrich, then what is the return on investment? As of right now, the ROI is trending negative with TIFF's actions being mocked on the New York Post's Aug. 14 front-page cover. They have caused Toronto and Canada immeasurable reputational damage as its decision appearing to side with a designated terrorist group is ridiculed around the world. Until TIFF finds their moral compass again or, at a bare minimum, can provide films centered on democracies with the same treatment as they do those from authoritarian regimes, not a single taxpayer dollar should fund the festival. — Kevin Vuong is a proud Torontonian, entrepreneur, and military reserve officer.
