🚨 WARNING: 2026 WILL BE THE MOST EXPLOSIVE YEAR IN ONE PIECE HISTORY – LIVE-ACTION SEASON 2 RELEASED IN MARCH, WIT REMAKE TRAILER MAY BE DROPPED, AND THE ELBAF ARC ANIME STARTS AFTER HIATUS – ARE YOU READY?! 😱🏴‍☠️

One Piece fans will have a great 2026. While Eiichiro Oda’s manga has been one of the most influential works of fiction for several years now, One Piece‘s popularity keeps achieving new heights. Both the anime and the manga continue to find new fans, and the franchise now includes Netflix’s One Piece live-action show.

After an amazing first season that did what most live-action adaptations failed to, One Piece will return for season 2 on Netflix. The second season will cover part of the Arabasta saga and will see the arrival of a bunch of fan-favorite characters, including Vivi, Robin, and Chopper. We will get all of that and more next year.

One Piece Season 2 Will Premiere In 2026

One Piece season 1 premiered on August 31, 2023, and it became one of Netflix’s most-watched TV shows of that year. Now, it has been confirmed that One Piece season 2 will arrive in 2026.

The three-year wait is a little frustrating, but it is also not surprising, considering how long streamers are taking to release new seasons of their biggest shows. Netflix’s strategy for One Piece is similar to what they did with Stranger Things and Wednesday, both of which were also renewed for a third season even before the second one came out.

We Will Also Learn A Lot About One Piece Season 3 In 2026

One Piece season 3 is confirmed, even though the second season will only premiere next year. This is incredibly exciting, especially because it means that we will not have to wait as long for season 3. Netflix has also confirmed that production on One Piece season 3 will start later this year in Cape Town, South Africa.

With filming starting this year, we will learn a lot about One Piece season 3 in 2026. Whether there is a chance that season 3 also comes out in 2026 is difficult to say, but we will surely get at least a trailer for the third chapter next year.

One Piece season 2 will go until Chopper’s arc, meaning that season 3 will cover the Arabasta arc. That said, we saw Nico Robin in her white outfit in the season 2 trailer, suggesting that some elements of the Arabasta arc will already be included in the next season.

What Else One Piece Has Lined Up For 2026

The live-action show is, of course, not the only thing One Piece has lined up for 2026. The anime is expected to wrap up the Egghead arc by the end of the next year, while the manga is deep in the Elbaf saga. Next year, we should also learn more about The One Piece, Netflix’s remake of the anime from Wit Studio.
