The first trailer for One Piece Season 2 is here, and so is confirmation that Netflix is bringing back its live-action anime adaptation for Season 3.
The streaming mega company debuted its new video as part of the annual One Piece Day celebration in Tokyo today. It’s a one-minute sneak peek at what Netflix subscribers can expect from the next chapter of Monkey D. Luffy’s (Iñaki Godoy) live-action journey ahead of Season 2’s premiere next year.
This first look at One Piece Season 2 highlights more of the characters and moments from the original manga by Eiichiro Oda that the show pulls from. Alongside familiar faces established in Season 1, such as Luffy, Nami (Emily Rudd), Usopp (Jacob Romero), and Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu), the footage shows off a few newcomers, including Lera Abova as Nico Robin and Callum Kerr as Smoker.
There’s plenty to chew on in the trailer, which comes in at a little more than one minute long, but fans do still have to wait for a firm release date for Season 2. Netflix is at least feeling confident in its treasure hunt for more live-action anime content, as the end of today’s One Piece Season 2 trailer comes with confirmation that the Straw Hat Pirate crew will be back for Season 3 “soon.”
One Piece Season 2 has yet to receive a release date but is expected to set sail sometime in 2026. That will put it out nearly three years since the arrival of the first season, so don’t expect to hear much about Season 3 too soon.
While we wait for updates, you can check out a handful of One Piece Season 2 set images that were published last year. You can also check out a first look at live-action Tony Tony Chopper before his debut in the new season and then read our 6/10 review of Season 1.
