The return of One Piece has now been officially scheduled. One Piece will make its highly anticipated comeback on Netflix with a second season premiering on March 10, 2026. Following the global success of the first season, this live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s beloved manga continues its journey, bringing exciting news for fans: the series has already been renewed for a third season.
The news of the show's renewal was first announced personally by Eiichiro Oda, through a video posted on Netflix’s social media channels. The creator of the best-selling manga of all time reaffirmed his ongoing involvement in the project, a key role he has held since season 1 as a creative consultant.
Beyond confirming the return of season 2, Eiichiro Oda also teased the arrival of a fan-favorite character from the saga: Tony Tony Chopper. “The Straw Hat crew is going to need a doctor,” he explained, signaling the highly anticipated introduction of this character by fans and viewers alike. Bringing Chopper to life in the live-action adaptation promises to be a significant technical challenge.
Even before the official announcement, the production teams had already begun working on the next batch of episodes. The filming has now wrapped, as confirmed by Netflix, paving the way for an ambitious post-production phase that will heavily rely on special effects, especially to bring the new islands and creatures of Grand Line to life.
Titled One Piece: Voyage to the Grand Line, this second season follows Luffy and his crew as they leave East Blue and set sail into the legendary waters of the Grand Line. New formidable foes, strange islands, and unexpected perils will punctuate their quest for the iconic treasure, the One Piece, delivering a narrative escalation true to the spirit of the original series.
Launched in 2023, the series quickly blew up into a global sensation, racking up nearly 100 million views and soaring to the top spot in over 75 countries. Remarkably, it achieved a historic first for an English-language series on Netflix by topping the charts in Japan. Produced by Tomorrow Studios in partnership with Shueisha, the adaptation also earned 11 nominations at the Children’s & Family Emmy Awards, solidifying its appeal across multiple generations.
