The debut season of Netflix’s One Piece live-action series has been well-received by fans and critics worldwide. Moreover, both long-time fans and newbies enjoyed the show equally, albeit with minor flaws (read about them in our One Piece live-action review).
The huge success of the series automatically enabled the streaming giant to give the green light for its second season. In an official tweet, Netflix confirmed that the One Piece live-action series has been renewed for Season 2. Check out a personal message from Oda sensei right here:
Netflix’s One Piece Season 2 Production Status
The latest news regarding season 2 is that the shooting officially began in July 2024, according to the official One Piece Netflix handle on X. The new season is being filmed in South Africa, Spain, and Mexico.
Along with this, it is also confirmed that the showrunner for One Piece Live-Action’s first season, Steve Maeda, has chosen to solely serve as an executive producer for Season 2. Consequently, Joe Tracz, known for “Percy Jackson and the Olympians,” has stepped up to become a co-showrunner for season 2 with Matt Owens.
One Piece Season 2 Potential Release Date

As mentioned above, the shooting for One Piece Season 2 has kicked off. It took around 8 months to film the first season of One Piece live-action completely. So, in line with season 1, the filming for the sequel began in July 2024 and is expected to be wrapped up by February 2025.
So, it is almost confirmed that OPLA Season 2 will premiere in 2025 and if you are curious about the release window, it is speculated that Season 2 is expected to be released sometime in mid-2025 (hopefully if there aren’t any delays).
One Piece Season 2 Potential Plot (& Arcs)
Netflix’s One Piece live-action Season 2 will primarily focus on the Straw Hat Pirates exploring the perilous oceans and visiting new islands during their adventures to find the legendary One Piece treasure.
More importantly, you can also find Luffy recruiting some fresh new members for the crew as well. Since the first season adapted the East Blue Saga (excluding the Logue Town arc), we will get to see this arc as the first to get a live-action adaptation in the next season. After that, Oda confirmed that season 2 will skip the Alabasta arc (see One Piece arcs in order) and adapt the following arcs:
- Loguetown Arc (Manga chapters: 96–100, Anime episodes: 45–53)
- Reverse Mountain Arc (Manga chapters: 101–105, Anime episodes: 62 & 63)
- Whisky Peak Arc (Manga chapters: 106–114, Anime episodes: 64-67)
- Little Garden Arc (Manga chapters: 115–129, Anime episodes: 70–77)
- Drum Island Arc (Manga chapters: 130–154, Anime episodes: 78–91)

How Many Episodes Are in One Piece Season 2?
Like season 1, One Piece Season 2 could also have eight episodes. However, the amount of source material that needs to be covered here is larger than before. Earlier, Joe Tracz said, “So it’s a dream and a joy to come aboard the Going Merry as it enters the Grand Line for an even more giant Season 2.”
So, we can expect season 2 to be much bigger and feature around 10-12 episodes. We just have the title of Season 2’s first episode at this moment and we will update the episode list as soon as new info comes out. Thus, for now:
- One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Episode 1 – “The Beginning and the End”
