‘One Piece’ Renewed for Season 3, Netflix Drops First-Look at Season 2

“One Piece” is setting sail once again, with the live-action adaptation of the beloved manga and anime series getting an early Season 3 renewal at Netflix.

The news came out of the annual One Piece Day celebration on Tokyo, where it was also revealed that Ian Stokes would be joining Joe Tracz as co-showrunner on Season 3. Stokes was previously a co-executive producer on Season 1. Production on the third season will begin later this year in Cape Town, South Africa.

“One Piece” Season 2 does not have a premiere date, but it is slated to return in 2026 on Netflix. The streamer has also released several first look images from the new season, which can be seen below.

Officially titled “One Piece: Into the Grand Line,” the official description for Season 2 states:

“Netflix’s epic high-seas pirate adventure, ‘One Piece,’ returns for Season 2—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. 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.”

Iñaki Godoy stars as Luffy. The cast also includes Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.

Netflix’s “One Piece” has gone through a number of showrunner changes across three seasons. The show was originally developed by Matt Owens and Steven Maeda. They served as co-showrunners on Season 1, but Maeda stepped down going into Season 2, with Tracz becoming co-showrunner. But then Owens also announced his departure from the series following work on Season 2.

The Netflix show was created in partnership with Shueisha and produced by Tomorrow Studios (an ITV Studios partner) and Netflix. Owens and Tracz are writers, executive producers, and co-showrunners on Season 2. “One Piece” creator Eiichiro Oda also executive produces along with Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements through Tomorrow Studios, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Christoph Schrewe, and Maeda.
