After the success of Season 1, One Piece Season 2 is coming back with a brand-new season on Netflix. The live-action version of the famous anime and manga brought joy to fans around the world. Now, everyone is looking forward to the next part of Luffy’s journey. Let’s take a look at the One Piece Season 2 update, cast, story, and release date.

Netflix has confirmed that One Piece Season 2 will be released in 2026. Filming for the new season finished in early 2025, but the show needs more time for editing, special effects, and final touches. The delay was also caused by strikes in the film industry in 2023, which slowed down many productions.

Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy
