Out of yesterday’s annual ‘One Piece’ Day celebration in Tokyo, Japan, Netflix shared a first look at the highly anticipated season two of the epic pirate adventure series, returning in 2026.
The series has also been given an early Season 3 renewal, which will begin production in Cape Town, South Africa, later this year. Ian Stokes is set to join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner for Season 3.
Netflix’s high-seas pirate adventure 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.
Based on Japan’s highest-selling manga series of all time by Eiichiro Oda, with over 100 volumes and 500 million copies sold worldwide. The epic high-seas adventure follows Monkey D. Luffy on his quest to find the legendary fabled treasure, the ONE PIECE, and become King of the Pirates. The beloved franchise has a vast, multigenerational global fan base. Upon its debut in 2023, the Netflix live-action series became a global phenomenon, spending eight weeks on the Global Top 10, reaching #1 in over 75 countries and making history as the first Netflix English-language series to debut at #1 in Japan.
Co-showrunners, writers, and executive producers for Season 2 are Matt Owens & Joe Tracz, with Joe Tracz & Ian Stokes taking over for Season 3.
