‘One Piece’ Renewed For Third Season By Netflix

One Piece has earned an early season 3 renewal by Netflix.

The live action pirate show isn’t returning for a second season until 2026. At this weekend’s annual One Piece Day celebration in Tokyo, Japan, Netflix shared a first look at the upcoming season that’s based on Japan’s highest-selling manga series of all time by Eiichiro Oda.

Here’s the logline for season 2, which promises to “unleash 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.”

Production on season 3 will kick off in Cape Town, South Africa later this year. Ian Stokes is set to join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner. The show is created in partnership with Shueisha and is produced by Tomorrow Studios (an ITV Studios partner).

Executive Producers for season 2 are Tracz and Matt Owens, Eiichiro Oda, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Christoph Schrewe and Steven Maeda.

One Piece follows Monkey D. Luffy on his quest to find the legendary fabled treasure, the One Piece, and become King of the Pirates. After its debut on Netflix in 2023, the live-action series spent eight weeks on the Global Top 10, reaching No. 1 in over 75 countries and making history as the first Netflix English-language series to debut at No. 1 in Japan. The show has nearly 100M views and is one of Netflix’s most downloaded shows of all time.
