During yesterday’s annual One Piece Day celebration in Tokyo, Japan, Netflix shared a first look at the second season of the adventure series, set to premiere in 2026. Not only that, but it was also announced that One Piece has been given an early renewal for a third season.
Season 3 will begin production in Cape Town, South Africa later this year. Ian Stokes will join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner for the third season.
The live-action adaptation of One Piece is based on Japan’s highest-selling manga series of all time by Eiichiro Oda and follows Monkey D. Luffy (played by Iñaki Godoy) on his quest to find the legendary fabled treasure, the One Piece, and become King of the Pirates.
The synopsis for Season 2 reads, “ 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.”
