One Piece Season 2 Announced: Plot, cast, when and where to watch live-action anime. Season 3 confirmed

Making our weekend better, Netflix has officially unveiled the first-look teaser of One Piece: Into the Grand Line, the highly anticipated second season of its hit live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s beloved manga. Following the breakout success of Season 1, which impressed both long time fans and newcomers with its storytelling and diverse casting, the makers gave the thumbs up for Season 3.

All you need to know about One Piece Season 2

Set to premiere in 2026, One Piece Season 2 will continue the journey of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates as they venture into the Grand Line, a sea full of new islands, powerful enemies, and legendary secrets. While Netflix hasn’t revealed an exact release date yet, excitement is already building thanks to the newly released images, which tease some of the iconic settings and characters fans have been eager to see brought to life.

Making the announcement, the makers captioned, "Attention, Straw Hats! Here's your first look at ONE PIECE: INTO THE GRAND LINE. Season 2 coming 2026. Season 3 production setting sail soon."



Production for Season 2 is scheduled to begin later this year in Cape Town, South Africa, which served as the filming location for the first season as well. The new season promises to cover major arcs from the source material, including stops at Loguetown, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island. These locations mark a major shift in tone and scale as the Straw Hats move closer to their ultimate goal, finding the legendary treasure known as the One Piece.

Besides this, the makers also introduced some of the key characters from the original manga. Sons of Anarchy star Katey Sagal will portray Dr. Kureha, the quirky but brilliant doctor from Drum Island. David Dastmalchian steps in as the eccentric Mr. 3, while Sendhil Ramamurthy has been cast as the noble Nefertari Cobra. Perhaps most excitingly, Joe Manganiello will appear as the villainous Mr. 0, also known as Crocodile.

The core cast returns with Iñaki Godoy reprising his role as Luffy, joined once again by Mackenyu as Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. Their performances in Season 1 were widely praised for bringing the essence of their animated counterparts, a feat attributed in large part to the guidance of Eiichiro Oda, who remains closely involved in the production.

Makers announce One Piece Season 3

In addition to Season 2’s development, Netflix has already greenlit a third season. The announcement came during the annual One Piece Day celebration in Tokyo, confirming the platform’s long-term commitment to the franchise. Ian Stokes, who served as co-executive producer on Season 1, will step into a new role as co-showrunner for Season 3, working alongside returning showrunner Joe Tracz.
