One Piece live-action series has its future confirmed beyond season 2
The Grand Line awaits!
Our adventures with the Straw Hat Pirates will continue as Netflix has confirmed that One Piece's live-action series has been renewed for season 3!
The announcement was made during One Piece Celebration Day in Tokyo, with Netflix revealing that production on season 3 will begin in Cape Town, South Africa, later this year. Ian Stokes will join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer.
There was still more exciting news to come, though. As season 2, which is set for release in 2026, inches ever closer, the streamer also shared a first-look trailer and some epic first-look images of characters we're set to meet - including Charithra Chandran's Miss Wednesday.
The new episodes will also see the long-awaited arrival of Chopper, voiced by Mikaela Hoover.
The series, based on the manga by Eiichiro Oda and preceded by the long-running anime, follows a daring young pirate named Monkey D Luffy as he sails the seas in a bid to become King of the Pirates by finding the infamous pirate treasure, the One Piece.
The synopsis for season 2 teases "fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet."
It adds: "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."
As for where season 3's adventures will take us, only time will tell!
One Piece season 2 will arrive in 2026. Season 1 is available to stream on Netflix now. Sign up for Netflix from £5.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
