Netflix renews 'One Piece' for Season 3 — and reveals an epic first look at Season 2
With Japan's annual One Piece Day winding down, Netflix marked the occasion with a bombshell of an announcement. Netflix unveiled a teaser trailer for "One Piece" Season 2, giving fans a first look at the Straw Hats' next chapter on the high seas, and confirmed "One Piece" season 3 is already in the works. Given all the fanfare, it's possible Netflix could be aiming to fast-track production this time around, a welcome change after having to wait almost three years between the first two seasons. Production for Season 3 will kick off later this year in Cape Town, South Africa. No release window has been confirmed yet. Netflix also announced that "Marvel's Luke Cage" and "Iron Fist" producer Ian Stokes will join "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" writer Joe Tracz at the helm for Season 3. Tracz became co-showrunner in Season 2 and has been shepherding the season through post-production following the departure of Season 1's co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer Matt Owens in March. Along with the Season 3 renewal news, Netflix unveiled an exciting first-look at the upcoming Season 2, which premieres in 2026. You can check it out below. The trailer gives fans plenty to chew on, including the return of familiar faces such as Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), Nami (Emily Rudd), Usopp (Jacob Romero), and Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu). You can also spot two newcomers: Lera Abova as Nico Robin and Callum Kerr as Smoker. "One Piece's" sophomore outing is expected to cover most, if not all, of the Arabasta saga, including the Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island arcs. In Eiichiro Oda's original manga, the Arabasta Saga lasted 117 chapters. Considering the live-action series's first season adapted roughly 100 chapters, we're likely to see part of the Arabasta saga spill over into Season 3. Another Season 2 newcomer, Joe Manganiello, has already teased that his character Mr. o will be back for the third season, which seems to confirm this. In a press release, Netflix said "One Piece" Season 2 promises 'fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet." The official logline reads: '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.' While we don't know when to expect "One Piece" Season 3 just yet, a release date is likely just over the horizon. I would guess that Netflix plans to announce it sometime after "One Piece" season 2 premieres in 2026. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
