After years of anticipation, season 2 of Netflix’s One Piece continues to be a little bit means out. That is why it is so stunning that, forward of season 2’s 2026 premiere, Netflix has already confirmed the world-famous sequence is returning for a 3rd season.
On the One Piece Day celebration in Tokyo, Netflix shared a teaser for season 2 alongside affirmation that One Piece’s live-action adaptation will return for a 3rd season. Showrunner Joe Tracz is being joined by Ian Stokes to share showrunning duties, and manufacturing is predicted to start in Cape City later within the 12 months.
This info comes after rumors swirled that manufacturing on One Piece season 3 was beginning before followers anticipated. No different info is thought presently, however followers have already got good motive to be hyped.
What Will One Piece Season 3 Cowl?
Whereas nothing is confirmed presently, obtainable info suggests One Piece season 2 will adapt most, if not all, of the Arabasta Saga. That is seemingly confirmed by the casting bulletins for key characters launched on this saga, corresponding to Tony Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, and Nefartari Vivi.
The Arabasta Saga lasted 117 chapters within the manga in comparison with the roughly 100 chapters tailored by the primary season.
Given all this, it appears probably that season 3 of Netflix’s One Piece will cowl the Sky Island Saga, which is available in at a barely decrease 85 chapters. The Sky Island Saga is a crucial one, because it introduces key characters like Blackbeard, Whitebeard, and Kuma, that means season 3 may doubtlessly introduce a handful of fan favourite heroes and villains.
How Netflix’s One Piece Broke the Dwell-Motion Anime Curse
Although some followers may be shocked to listen to One Piece season 3 confirmed earlier than season 2 even has a correct launch date, many have been extra shocked to see simply how stable Netflix’s live-action adaptation was.
Eiichiro Oda’s unique manga may be very cartoony in some ways, with an emphasis on exaggerated character designs and over-the-top motion. This, coupled with Hollywood’s poor status when it comes to adapting anime and manga, meant that many have been actively dreading the brand new One Piece sequence.
Regardless of the hesitancy of many, although, Netflix’s One Piece destroyed all expectations and have become a juggernaut. A part of that is undeniably sequence creator Eiichiro Oda’s involvement, however a part of it’s also only a forged and crew that clearly have a ardour and understanding of the supply materials.
Hopefully, the sequence can maintain the goodwill going with the following two seasons. Fan reception to Tony Tony Chopper’s live-action design has largely been constructive, so all indicators level to One Piece seasons 2 and three being one other set of hits for the world’s greatest streaming platform.
