Netflix had previously released at the Tudum that the second season would arrive in 2025, but the information was later removed without further explanation. Although the platform has not yet made an official statement, the inclusion of the third season in the WGAW database suggests that the work for its continuity is already underway.
What does the listing mean on WGAW?
Guild of America West is one of the main entities that represent film, television and digital media screenwriters in the United States. The organization's website often records production credits, including next seasons of series, often serving as an early indication of new projects.
Although WGAW itself has a warning that some information can be self-remedied and not independently verified, the presence of season three in the database suggests that writing and production contracts are already being signed.
Confirmed showrunners and expectations
According to the listing, Matt Owens and Joseph E. Tracz return as showrunners and executive producers of the third season. Both are active members of WGA, reinforcing the credibility of the information.
In November, Eiichiro Oda , creator of One Piece, said the cast of season two was perfect and that the sequence would overcome the first. Netflix also confirmed that the new phase will cover the Drum Island , indicating that season third should explore alabasta .
The second season has revealed more than 20 new actors, including Crocodile , Nico Robin, Vivi and other iconic characters. In September 2023, a first glimpse of the Chopper and the iconic Drum Island was also released.

One Piece 's first season premiered on August 31, 2023 and became a global success on Netflix, reaching the top of the English series ranking, with 18.5 million views and 140.1 million hours assisted . Thus, production maintained the lead in the second week, consolidating itself as one of the most successful live-action adaptations of the platform.
