One Piece Live Action Season 3: Everything We Know So Far

After making fans wait for over two years, One Piece Season 2 finally arrived on Netflix this year. It was indeed everything that fans were hoping for. The second season of One Piece is easily the best season of the live-action show so far, but the third season is already on its way. Netflix has already renewed the live-action series for a third season, and here is everything we know about One Piece Season 3.

Editor’s Note: Updated with the latest details regarding One Piece Season 3’s release window on April 7, 2026.

Is One Piece Live-Action Season 3 Confirmed?

It’s good news, folks. One Piece Season 3: The Battle of Alabasta has already been confirmed by Netflix. The official announcement for the renewal of Live-Action One Piece Season 3 finally came out in August 2025, and the filming of One Piece Season 3 started in November of the same year.

Actors, including Vincent Regan (Monkey D. Garp), Mackenyu (Roronoa Zoro), and more, previously hinted at the potential OPLA Season 3 since late 2024. In fact, when Mackenyu was asked in an interview sometime in early 2025 about future projects he is looking forward to working on, the actor clearly stated that before proceeding with One Piece Season 3, he had a couple of projects lined up.

Even before the show became a global success, fans were already confident that the series would stay with them for a long time, thanks to the mountain of source material available.

When Will One Piece Season 3 Be Released?

Netflix has confirmed that the most-awaited One Piece Season 3 is scheduled to premiere in 2027. If you are wondering how the live-action team can release a new season within a year, it is because the production of One Piece Season 3 commenced before Season 2’s premiere.

Like most of the anime live-action adaptations out there, One Piece involves heavy CGI to do justice to the sea adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates and the Devil Fruit abilities. So, we speculate the One Piece live-action Season 3 to be released either in mid or late 2027.

What Story Arcs Will One Piece Season 3 Cover?

The ending of One Piece Season 2 directly led the television series to the Alabasta Arc. So, expect this one to be the primary arc that the new season will completely adapt. While many fans are eager to see multiple arcs getting adapted in the third season, the opposite will happen. The Alabasta arc is huge, spanning 63 chapters and 39 episodes.

OPLA Season 2 sees Luffy and the crew promising Vivi that they would not leave her side, not until they help her defeat every member of Baroque Works. So, we may get to see some of the amazing fight sequences on our screens in One Piece Season 3. That being said, Alabasta won’t be the only story arc to be featured in the third season. Jaya, Skypiea, Long Ring Long Land, and Water 7 Arcs will at least be a part.

Which One Piece Live-Action Characters Will Return in Season 3?

One Piece live-action Season 3 will see the main crew embarking on an even more challenging adventure. These include Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp. In the second season, Chopper and Vivi also become an integral part of the Straw Hat Pirates, so the subsequent chapter won’t make any sense without them. However, Vivi will only be with the Straw Hats until the Alabasta Arc is over.

Mr. 0, the villainous warlord of the sea, and the other Baroque Works members who were introduced in the second season, will also reprise their roles in OPLA Season 3. In addition, Gold Roger’s son, Ace, and pending Baroque Works members like Bon Clay, Mr. 1, Miss Doublefinger, etc., are also expected to enter the game in the new season.

That said, do you think the live-action team can completely adapt the Alabasta arc in the third season? Let us know in the comments below.
