Netflix officially renews ‘One Piece’ for a third season
Arrival and departure arcs on Netflix consistently captivate fans. But the streamer has formally entered its renewal arc for the year, and it’s okay if you can’t keep calm. Hot on the heels of renewing UNTAMED and Wednesday for a second and third season, respectively, Netflix recently answered prayers for yet another fan favourite show, the live-action ONE PIECE.
During the annual ONE PIECE Day celebration in Tokyo on Sunday, Netflix gave it an early green light for season three. According to Tudum, cameras will begin rolling for the third instalment in Cape Town, South Africa, later in 2025. And this time around, Ian Stokes is joining forces with Joe Tracz as co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer.
Tracz succeeds Matt Owens, who exited the show in March. Owens served as the executive producer and co-showrunner for both seasons. However, Tracz is currently working on the second season through post-production following Owens’ departure from the Netflix series.
For those unaware, ONE PIECE is based on Eiichiro Oda’s famous manga series. It follows a young pirate Monkey D Luffy on his sea adventure with his Straw Hats crew as he aims to track down Gold Roger’s treasure trove, the One Piece, in hopes of becoming the King of the Pirates.
ONE PIECE is also due to release a second season in 2026. And at the annual ONE PIECE Day celebration in Tokyo, Netflix pulled another rabbit from its straw hat. The streaming giant revealed a first look at season two, which included pictures of the Straw Hats squad, including Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday, Jacob Romero as Usopp, Emily Rudd as Nami, Taz Skylar as Sanji, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Brendan Sean Murray as Brogy, and Inaki Godoy as Monkey D Luffy.
According to the official synopsis for season two, ONE PIECE will “unleash fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet. Luffy and his Straw Hats will journey towards the Grand Line. However, this extraordinary stretch of sea has extraordinary wonders and threats wherever they sail.
Together, they must confront their rivals, old and new, while on the lookout for the mysterious treasure. While fans were already strapped in for the hit of a season that ONE PIECE is about to bring for the second time, now they need to warm up for a third sail as well.
