One Piece Season 2: Release Date and First Images and Everything You Need to Know?

One Piece Season 2 is coming back to Netflix (and now we know when). Filming of the new episodes has finished, and this is confirmed by Netflix itself, which announced the closing of the set in Cape Town, South Africa, announced the release date, and previewed the very first images of the new series chapter between spectacular settings and many new features. But let’s take it one step at a time and find out everything we know about One Piece Season 2. The serial adaptation of One Piece was one of the biggest Netflix successes of 2023, and just 15 days after its debut came the confirmation of a second season for the series based on the famous manga by Eiichiro Oda. It was September 2023 when we had confirmation that One Piece Season 2 would be there and that Netflix would continue to tell the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy on the small screen in search of the legendary treasure of One Piece.

The announcement of this welcome renewal was not too surprising, given the great outcry with which this series was welcomed by the public, both by fans of the manga and by those who did not know this story. The series ended its second week at no. 1 on Netflix’s Top 10 with another internationally dominant performance, and it was precisely this that pushed Netflix to renew the series early. The first season of One Piece landed on Netflix in late August 2023. Ever since its debut, fans have wondered what the future of live-action Sui Straw Hat Pirates will be, knowing the breadth of the story and the strength of the name. The response from the streaming service was not long in coming, and the renewal was announced on September 14th: One Piece will have season 2. With a video from Oda, we heard the news. It will take some time to create the new chapter, which apparently will welcome nothing less than Chopper!

Eiichiro Oda’s Message to One Piece Fans

Eiichiro Oda, the creator, illustrator, and executive producer of One Piece, left a message for fans of the Netflix series:

“To the Straw Hat Fleet: What do you think of the first season of the live-action of One Piece? I worked on it for a long time with Netflix and Tomorrow Studios. It seems to have been enjoyed by people all over the world, so the commitment of the production team paid off. To all those who have been fans of One Piece for years, and to those who are discovering it for the first time, thank you very much. Two weeks after launch, I got some good news…Netflix has decided to renew the series! The adventures of Iñaki and the Straw Hats will continue! It will take a little longer to prepare the scripts, so be patient. In the future, I believe that the Straw Hats will need a smart doctor. We’ll see!”
