Netflix has released a teaser for the second season of the live-action One Piece , hinting at a major announcement on May 31, 2025, during the TUDUM event . Fans are therefore increasingly excited, as everything indicates that news about the premiere date and direction of the new season is on the way.
Season 2 May Be Closer Than We Think
The first season premiered globally on August 31, 2023, quickly dominating Netflix's English-language series rankings. It racked up over 18.5 million views and 140.1 million hours watched in its first week. It also remained at the top the following week, a rare feat for live-action anime adaptations.
However, despite its success, Netflix has remained silent about the second season. A 2025 premiere date appeared on TUDUM's official website, but was removed soon after without explanation. Therefore, the teaser and the proximity of the event suggest that the platform is ready to reveal the news.
New characters and behind-the-scenes changes
Filming for the second season has already completed, introducing over 20 new characters, including Crocodile, Vivi, and Nico Robin, all from the Drum Island arc. The cast will also include Rigo Sanchez (Dragon), Yonda Thomas (Igaram), and Sophia Anne Caruso (Miss Goldenweek).
According to Eiichiro Oda manga 's creator , the new cast is "perfect" and the new season will surpass the previous one. Furthermore, it will conclude the events of Drum Island, setting the stage for the highly anticipated Arabasta saga.
Cast confirms production of 3 on Netflix
Actor Joe Manganiello, who will play Crocodile, confirmed in an interview that filming for the third season will begin later this year. "We had a break between the second and third seasons," he said, reinforcing Netflix's commitment to continuing the adaptation.
