Netflix ‘One Piece' Season 2 Teases 'Something Big Approaching'
Nakama, raise the sails! It's time to head to the Grand Line! Fans of Netflix's One Piece will be over the moon to know that the Straw Hat Pirates will be returning soon in season two of the live-adaptation of the popular eponymous manga by Eiichiro Oda. While not much information has been released, Netflix has officially shared another glimpse of the Straw Hats. The image depicts Nami (Emily Rudd, Fear Street ), Sanji (Taz Skylar, Gassed Up ), Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy, The Imperfects ), Roronoa Zoro (Arata Mackenyu, Rurouni Kenshin: The Final ) and Usopp (Jacob Gibson, Greenleaf ) onboard their crew's ship, the Going Merry. (L to R) Emily Rudd's Nami, Taz Skylar's Sanji, Iñaki Godoy's Luffy, Arata Mackenyu's Zoro and Jacob Gibson's Usopp onboard the Going Merry in Netflix's One Piece Season Two On top of that, Netflix has teased a major reveal ahead of One Piece Day, an annual event that celebrates all things One Piece and will take place in Tokyo this year from 9 to 10 August. In their Instagram reveal of the Straw Hats, they shared the following caption: 'Can you feel it in the wind, Nakama? 🌊 The seas are restless and rumours from the Grand Line speak of something BIG approaching for ONE PIECE DAY! 😆🏴☠️ Trust us, you'll want to be aboard when it hits!' While no additional details have been revealed, there has still been a great deal of information for fans to chew on while awaiting the Straw Hats' return. A statement by Oda himself has revealed that Season Two will follow the Straw Hat Pirates as they journey through the Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whisky Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island arcs. Though this remains as a great deal of source material for the show to work with, with Oda himself helming the project as an executive producer, as well as a production team who, by Oda's own admission, is committed to produce a show that will meet his standards, Season Two is likely to be just as big of a hit as Season One was. Eiichiro Oda's Executive Producer chair on the set of Netflix's One Piece Season Two In fact, with Oda present for the filming of Season Two this time, having made the journey to Cape Town, South Africa, to be on the set, fans can rest assured that the newly cast members and upcoming season will perfectly embody the vision that the manga's creator himself had. 'Seeing them all in person convinced me: they were absolutely the perfect choice!' said Oda, in an illustrated letter to the series' dedicated fans. 'Trust me, this is going to surpass Season 1! Stay tuned for Season 2!' The new season will primarily see the Straw Hat Pirates taking the perilous journey over Reverse Mountain to enter the Grand Line, the most dangerous sea in the One Piece world. Home to unpredictable phenomena and the world's most powerful pirate crews and organisations, the Grand Line will bring our Straw Hats face to face with the powerful criminal syndicate, Baroque Works, led by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Sir Crocodile, also known as Mr. 0 within his organisation, played by Joe Manganiello ( Magic Mike XXL ). Joe Manganiello Other than Manganiello, Mikaela Hoover ( Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Superman ) joins the cast as Straw Hat Pirates' reindeer doctor, Tony Tony Chopper. Executive members of the Baroque Works, also known as Agents, have also been cast, with Lera Abova ( Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin ) as the intriguing Miss All-Sunday, partner to Mr. 0, Charithra Chandran ( Bridgerton ) as Miss Wednesday, Yonda Thomas ( Redemption ) as Mr. 8, Sophia Anne Caruso ( The School for Good and Evil ) as Miss Goldenweek, Daniel Lasker ( Raised by Wolves ) as Mr. 9, Camrus Johnson ( Batwoman ) as Mr. 5, Jazzara Jaslyn ( Warrior ) as Miss Valentine and David Dastmalchian ( The Suicide Squad ) as Mr. 3. In addition, other notable characters have also joined the roster, with Rigo Sanchez ( Outer Banks, Goliath ) playing the mysterious Dragon, Katey Sagal ( Sons of Anarchy, The Conners ) as Dr. Kureha, Mark Harelik ( Presumed Innocent, Preacher ) as Dr. Hiriluk, Werner Coetser ( Getroud met rugby ) as Dorry, co-captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Brendan Murray ( Raised by Wolves ) as Brogy, co-captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Clive Russell ( Game of Thrones ) as Crocus, Callum Kerr ( Monarch ) as Captain Smoker of the Marines, Julia Rehwald ( Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures ) as Master Chief Petty Officer Tashigi of the Marines, and Rob Colletti ( The Many Saints of Newark ) as Wapol, King of Drum Kingdom. Filming for Season 2 has officially wrapped, and Netflix has confirmed the release has been set for 2026. In the meantime, Mugiwara fans will simply have to hold on to their straw hats and sit tight on the masthead, for the journey will soon begin. Conversation with Ting Wei is like chatting with a weird AI bot programmed only with One Piece lore and theories, sitcom quotes and other miscellaneous pop culture references. When he's not sleeping, he's highly likely reading manga. In fact, the only thing he reads more than manga is the Bible, and it's honestly pretty close.

One Piece Season 2: Latest updates on release date, cast and plot details
By Aman Shukla Published on July 26, 2025, 21:00 IST Last updated July 26, 2025, 20:35 IST If you've been waiting (impatiently) for more Straw Hat shenanigans, you're not alone. After Netflix's live-action One Piece crushed it with Season 1 in 2023, fans have been counting the days until the crew sets sail again—and now we've finally got some solid updates on what's coming in Season 2. Spoiler: it's going to be wild. Release Date: When Can We Expect Season 2? Netflix has confirmed One Piece Season 2 is officially dropping in 2026. Yeah, we were all secretly hoping for a late 2025 surprise, but those rumors have been put to rest. At Tudum 2025, Netflix made it clear: 2026 is the target. Filming's already wrapped in South Africa, and the cast even celebrated on the Going Merry set—which makes the wait a little more bearable. With Eiichiro Oda still involved and the showrunners aiming to top themselves, we're expecting something worth the patience. Cast: Returning Favourites and Exciting New Faces Our main crew is all returning, thankfully. That means we'll see: Iñaki Godoy back as our lovable rubber-powered captain, Luffy Mackenyu slicing it up again as Zoro Emily Rudd bringing heart and smarts as Nami Jacob Romero as the ever-dramatic Usopp Taz Skylar cooking and kicking it as Sanji But here's where things get really exciting: Tony Tony Chopper is joining the crew! Yup, everyone's favorite reindeer doctor is finally here, and he's being voiced by Mikaela Hoover ( Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 ). Fans got a sneak peek during Tudum, and yep—he's just as adorable as you imagined. Season 2 is also adding a bunch of new faces, especially from the Baroque Works storyline. Here's a quick rundown: Katey Sagal ( Sons of Anarchy ) steps in as Dr. Kureha , after Jamie Lee Curtis had to drop out Mark Harelik plays Dr. Hiriluk , an important figure in Chopper's past Charithra Chandran ( Bridgerton ) shows up as the mysterious Vivi Joe Manganiello is stepping into the villain role as Mr. 0 (aka Crocodile) Lera Abova plays Miss All-Sunday David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3 Daniel Lasker and Camrus Johnson as Mr. 9 and Mr. 5 , respectively And Anton David Jeftha takes on the role of K.M. Plus, familiar faces like Buggy, Koby, and Garp are all expected to pop back in. Plot: What Adventures Await the Straw Hats? Season 2 picks up right where we left off—with Luffy and the crew sailing straight into the Grand Line, the most dangerous and mysterious sea in the world of One Piece . The showrunners (along with Oda himself) have teased that this season will tackle some fan-favorite arcs from the early Grand Line saga. Here's what we're heading into: Loguetown : The last stop before the Grand Line, full of surprises (and a run-in with Marine Captain Smoker). Reverse Mountain / Twin Capes : Expect a wild entrance into the Grand Line and a massive whale named Laboon . Whiskey Peak : A too-good-to-be-true town that turns into a trap. Little Garden : Dinosaurs, giants, and chaos. What more could you ask for? Drum Island: The emotional core of the season—this is where Chopper's story kicks in, and we meet Dr. Kureha and Hiriluk. All of this builds up toward the Arabasta storyline, so yeah—big things are coming. Expect more intense battles, deeper character moments, and that signature One Piece blend of heart, humor, and adventure. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .
