As one of the most popular series on Netflix, the live-action One Piece kept fans waiting a long time before making a comeback. The show debuted in 2023 and only returned with its sophomore run earlier this month. Luckily, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
So much so that the new episodes debuted with 16.8 million views, making One Piece the most-watched show on Netflix globally. It’s also the top show in 63 countries, and season 1 is climbing the charts again, too. We can assume this isn’t the last we’ll hear of the series, right?
One Piece Season 3 Release Date
One Piece has already been renewed for additional episodes, in production since November. In other words, you don’t have to say good-bye to the Straw Hat crew anytime soon.
Given that the follow-up has been already filming for months, the wait between installments will likely be shorter. We estimate One Piece season 3 to hit Netflix sometime in mid-to-late 2027.

What Could Happen in One Piece Season 3?
Based on the popular manga, the live-action One Piece revolves around Monkey D. Luffy, a relentlessly optimistic young pirate.
His body has the properties of rubber after eating a mysterious Devil Fruit, and he sets out to find the legendary treasure known as the “One Piece.” Not out of greed, but out of a deep belief in freedom. Along the way, he gathers a crew of misfits, each with their own ambitions and emotional scars.
Season 2 significantly expands the world, shifting from crew formation to teamwork under pressure. The Straw Hats encounter strange islands and increasingly dangerous enemies. Moreover, they cross paths with the shadowy criminal organisation Baroque Works, which begins to tie the season’s otherwise episodic adventures into a larger conspiracy.
By the time the finale rolls around, the crew sets course for Alabasta, fully aware that a war is brewing. One Piece season 3 will continue the story, upping the stakes as Luffy faces his toughest opponent yet. It has already been announced that Xolo Maridueña and Cole Escola will join the cast moving forward.
