Netflix has unveiled a first look trailer for One Piece season two during an annual celebration of the acclaimed manga in Tokyo, Japan. The trailer confirms a 2026 release date and announces a third season, which will begin production in Cape Town, South Africa, later this year.
Set in a sprawling maritime world, the live-action series follows Luffy and the Straw Hats on a high-seas quest for adventure and the title of King of the Pirates. It is based on work by Eiichiro Oda. Produced by Tomorrow Studios and Netflix in partnership with Shueisha, it blends action, fantasy, and humour.
