Netflix has officially announced the highly anticipated return of its live-action adaptation of "One Piece," with Season 2 scheduled to premiere on March 10, 2026. This renewal comes swiftly after the first season's successful debut in August 2023, which was met with widespread positive acclaim from both critics and fans for its faithfulness to Eiichiro Oda's original manga series. Filming for the second season commenced in June 2024, leading up to its confirmed release date.

Season 2 will continue the thrilling saga of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates as they embark on their ongoing quest to find the legendary "One Piece" treasure, hidden by the former King of the Pirates, Gold Roger. Picking up from their victory over Arlong and the liberation of the Conomi Islands, the crew is set to navigate the extraordinary Grand Line. This fabled stretch of sea promises to unleash fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet, taking the pirates through iconic and bizarre new islands such as Loguetown, Reverse Mountain (Twin Capes), Whiskey Peak, Little Island, and Drum Island.

Fans will be delighted to see the return of the main ensemble cast, including Iñaki Godoy as Luffy, Emily Rudd as Nami, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. Other returning stars include Morgan Davies and Jeff Ward. Creator Eiichiro Oda has confirmed that Season 2 will introduce the fan-favorite character Tony Tony Chopper, while executive producer Matt Owens revealed that Dr. Kurecha is slated to play a significant role.

Other executive producers include Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Christoph Schrewe, and Steven Maeda. The series is produced by Kaji Productions and Shueisha, the latter also publishing the original manga.
