Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece has received some major updates.
At this past weekend’s yearly One Piece Day event in Japan (even though the actual anniversary falls on July 22nd), it was confirmed that the series will indeed proceed with a new season, marking its third.
Previously holding the position of executive producer, Ian Stokes will now take on the role of co-showrunner, working side by side with Joe Tracz. It’s important to note that Tracz has been partnering with Matt Owens as season 2 co-showrunner since Steven Maeda stepped down following season 1.
Filming for the third season will start towards the end of this year in Cape Town, South Africa. The second season, meanwhile, is scheduled to air in the year 2026.
For your convenience, a fresh sneak peek trailer along with pictures featuring both familiar and fresh faces in their respective roles, has just been unveiled to help pass the time more enjoyably.
In this production, we’ll witness Brendan Sean Murray portraying the colossal pirate warlord Brogy, Lera Abova embodying Miss All Sunday amidst a shower of pink petals, and Charithra Chandran displaying her distinctive Peacock Slasher move as Miss Wednesday.
Additionally, you’ll find former Hollyoaks actor Callum Kerr portraying General Smoker, a character distinguished by his appropriately white hair and simultaneously held thick cigars.
Or simply:
Callum Kerr, formerly of Hollyoaks, takes on the role of General Smoker, who sports white hair and smokes two thick cigars at once.
In addition, the preview showcases brief clips of the Straw Hat crew engaging in action, along with a moment where Luffy is seen bravely approaching peril.
In the second season, the show’s title has been tweaked slightly and is now known as “One Piece: Journey Along the Grand Line“.
Currently, the anime has aired its 1,139th episode, and simultaneously, a fresh adaptation on Netflix, focusing on specific storylines, is being developed.
In 2026, the second season of the live-action adaptation of One Piece will debut on Netflix. Currently, the original anime can be watched globally on Crunchyroll, and in the UK specifically, it’s accessible on BBC iPlayer.
The latest print issue from Digital Spy is available now! You can purchase the Oasis – Live in ’25’ edition at newsstands or online for only £8.99.
