'One Piece' season 2 first-look photos and teaser reveal early season 3 renewal
This year's One Piece Day, the annual event in Tokyo, Japan celebrating the debut of Eiichiro Oda's manga series, came with some big reveals for Netflix's live-action show.
A collection of One Piece season 2 first-look photos and a teaser trailer dropped, showcasing Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy and the other Straw Hats, as well as the first true looks at some of the new season 2 characters.
Those include Lera Abova (Honey Don't!) as Miss All-Sunday, Charithra Chandran (Bridgerton) as Miss Wednesday, Callum Kerr (Monarch) as Captain Smoker, and Brendan Murray (Raised by Wolves) as Brogy.
The teaser finishes with the other major update, which is that One Piece received a very early season 3 renewal. Before season 2 premieres on Netflix in 2026, production on the show's third go will commence in South Africa's Cape Town later this year.
There will also be a bit of a changeup in season 3. While Matt Owens and Joe Tracz served as co-showrunners, writers, and executive producers for season 2, Tracz will now hold those positions with Ian Stokes for the following season.
Owens announced earlier this year that he'd step back from the series "to take a break and focus on myself and my mental health."
In One Piece season 2, "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," the official description reads. "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."
"Everything I've done, everywhere I go is for the One Piece," Godoy's Luffy says in the teaser.Returning to the high seas in the season 2 reveal are also Emily Rudd as Nami, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Taz Skylar as Sanji, and Jacob Romero as Usopp. A premiere date has not been announced.
Earlier this year for Netflix's Tudum event, the streamer showed Tony Tony Chopper for the first time. Mikaela Hoover voices the reindeer-boy hybrid. 'What excited me about playing Chopper is the tug of war between his standoffishness and his huge heart,' Hoover said. 'He tries so hard to hide his emotions and put on a tough exterior, but underneath, he's a big softy, and his love can't help but come out."

Sling TV is offering an entirely new pricing model — what you need to know about Day Pass
Sling TV is doing something pretty revolutionary in the streaming space, and I hope more streaming companies follow suit now that a major one has broken the seal. Instead of signing up for a month for a cable TV replacement, you can join Sling TV with a day pass, a weekend pass or a full-week pass. If there's only one thing you want to watch and you don't have access to it through other means, you can simply purchase a day pass and watch it, then move on with your life. It's so simple, it boggles my mind that more streamers aren't doing it. There are so many ways this could be useful with a live TV streaming service like Sling TV. Let's say you want to watch your favorite football team play on Sunday, but you only need to see one particular games for now — just grab a day pass. "This launch is about putting control back in the hands of the fans, whether it's tuning in for college football, professional sports, award shows, or a spontaneous movie night, all without having to sign a long-term, binding contract," said Seth Van Sickel, senior vice president, product and operations, Sling TV. The prices seem reasonable for a full day of streaming live TV with Sling's Orange plan. Here's how much Sling is looking to get for each of its new pass offerings: To put the prices in perspective, here's how much Sling TV charges for its Orange streaming package monthly: Again, it's important to note that these passes are only offered with Sling's Orange plan, which primarily focuses on sports and family content. For now, there's no option to sign up for a Sling Blue or Sling Orange & Blue plan with passes (that's where the Extras come in, if you want to watch a specific channel). Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Just imagine how awesome it would be if Netflix, Prime Video and other services offered something similar. When a bingeable show like Wednesday season 2 drops on Netflix, you can pay for a day, weekend or week and blast through the show. I don't watch a lot of TV or movies outside of golf, but I do like Wednesday and Cobra Kai. Does it really make sense for me to pay for Netflix monthly when I only want to binge those few shows when they drop (and watch Happy Gilmore 2)? Not at all, so I end up signing up for a month and then canceling when I watch the shows. It's a pain, and I'd much rather pay a couple of dollars extra in the short term if it prevents me from forgetting to cancel and paying more in the long run. We'll see if other streaming services start offering something like this (imagine the new WWE deal on ESPN, where you can get a day pass to watch the premium live event without being locked in). Obviously, streaming services want you to forget to cancel so they can continue to receive your money for the long haul, but it's not in the best interest of consumers. So will more start offering short passes? Only time will tell, but I'm hopeful.

‘KPop Demon Hunters' Will Return to Theaters for a Sing-Along Special
If you've been wanting to see KPop Demon Hunters on the big screen, then good news—especially if you can't stop singing Huntr/X's best hits to yourself. THR reports that Netflix will return the smash hit animated movie to theaters later this month for a limited time. Tickets for Netflix's hit film are being sold for screenings currently slated for Saturday, August 23, and Sunday, August 24. These showings will be sing-along events, meaning lyrics for the movie's songs will pop up on screen for viewers to read and belt out along with the characters. Wicked Part One had similar showings last year, and it's not uncommon for hit musicals to go this route. KPop Demon Hunters has actually graced the big screen already, but not in the sing-along format. It was in theaters for a week in LA, New York, and San Francisco when it first came out to be Oscar eligible, and Netflix later submitted its mid-movie song 'Golden' for the Best Original Song category. Next week, it'll be in the first wave of digital screeners to Oscars members as part of its For Your Consideration campaign. Depending on how popular these new KPop sing-along screenings get—and considering the soundtrack's record-breaking success right now, it's not hard to imagine that they will be—it wouldn't be surprising if Netflix extends the run for more dates. Even if it doesn't, it's another win for the film, which Netflix is already looking at as their new golden franchise, and they want to expand it with sequels, stage plays, or whatever else would make some money.

Jenna Ortega Embraces Gothic Edge in Simone Rocha for ‘Wednesday' Season Two Press Tour in Seoul
Jenna Ortega added a touch of edge and abstraction to her Goth styling streak in Simone Rocha for a 'Wednesday' Season Two press conference in Seoul on Monday. For the occasion, Ortega's stylist, Enrique Melendez, chose a piece from the spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection that Rocha designed in collaboration with Irish artist Genieve Figgis. The green bodysuit top of Ortega's look featured a painting of a ghoulish figure bearing their teeth in shades of green. More from WWD Jessica Alba Gives Monochrome a Fresh Edge with Willy Chavarria Design on 'CBS Mornings' Gracie Abrams Pays Tribute to San Francisco With Custom GapStudio Gown by Zac Posen at Outside Lands Music Festival Sienna Miller's Choice for an Everyday Tote Comes From Gucci's Cruise 2026 Collection The Irish designer's long-sleeve piece included a rounded neckline. Melendez paired the bodysuit with a black skirt featuring a tiered design and contrasting fabric, heightening the Gothic and dark glamour inspiration behind the look. A low-rise belted element with a padlock and key was among the details featured in the overall sartorial statement. Ortega's look featured minimal jewelry pieces, opting for delicate rings and a choker necklace. The look was complete with sheer black tights and patent leather mary janes. The actress' hair was styled with Y2K punk inspiration courtesy of Cesar Deleon Ramirez. Ortega's makeup was done by Mélanie Inglessis. Rocha described her spring 2025 ready-to-wear collection, which debuted as part of London Fashion Week in September 2024, as 'a bit more intimate, interesting, and playful.' Figgis' painting, titled 'Lady with a Bird,' featured on the bodysuit as the fifth look in the collection. 'It was a pivotal collection for Rocha, who deflated her signature billowing silhouettes, swapping them for soft, sometimes shiny layers of fabric and knits in a palette that ranged from muted pink to blood red and black — just like those strange, rare swans,' Hikmat Mohammed wrote in WWD's review of the collection. Figgis' fashion collaborations extend beyond her partnership with compatriot Rocha. The artist's work, which saw a meteoric rise thanks to social media in the 2010s, previously inspired Marc Jacobs' spring 2019 collection. 'It's like anything can happen in the world and it's truly about you believing that it can happen, and I was totally open to that,' Figgis said at a dinner in her honor back in 2017. 'Wednesday' follows Wednesday Addams (Ortega) upon her return to Nevermore and her quest to unravel a haunting mystery. Part One of 'Wednesday' Season Two is currently streaming on Netflix. Part Two of the season debuts on Sept. 3.
