One Piece Season 2 lands 10 March 2026: first look is here

Netflix has set the One Piece Season 2 date. One Piece: Into the Grand Line streams from 10 March 2026, and Netflix has also shared a first look at Drum Island. The main cast is back, and the series keeps the same production partners. Season 1’s numbers were huge, and the show has already been renewed for a third season.   

Release date and title

One Piece returns as One Piece: Into the Grand Line on 10 March 2026. That’s the on-platform date set by Netflix. 

• Title: One Piece: Into the Grand Line. 
• Streaming date: 10 March 2026. 
• Platform: Netflix. 

The title tells you where we’re headed next. Luffy and the Straw Hats push into the Grand Line, the dangerous stretch of sea that’s the heart of the saga. Netflix says this leg brings fiercer enemies and higher stakes.

First look: Drum Island

Netflix shared a first look at Drum Island, hinting at the wintry setting and new threats. 

• Drum Island images released. 
• Expect cold climates and a shift in tone.
• Part of the crew’s push deeper into the Grand Line. 

The Drum Island tease signals that Season 2 won’t just recycle the breezy island-hopping of Season 1. The Grand Line is meant to be unpredictable, and Drum’s climate alone sets a new mood. Expect tougher battles and weirder stops as the crew chases the treasure. 

Cast and crew

The Straw Hats, you know, are back, and the creative team stays consistent. 

• Cast: Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Taz Skylar, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero. 
• Co-showrunners S2: Matt Owens and Joe Tracz. 
• Executive producers include Eiichiro Oda, Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Christoph Schrewe and Steven Maeda. 
• Produced with Shueisha and Tomorrow Studios, in partnership with Netflix. 

Keeping the same ensemble and leadership matters. Season 1’s tone blended earnest adventure with faithful nods to the manga. With Oda among the executive producers and Owens and Tracz running Season 2, the adaptation should hold its line while scaling up the world. 

What to expect from the journey

Netflix frames Season 2 as a jump into stranger waters with new enemies and bizarre islands. 

• The Grand Line brings danger and wonder at every turn. 
• Previously released assets point at stops like Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Laboon and Loguetown. 
• First look confirms Drum Island is on the map. 

Those asset drops don’t act as plot synopses, but they do sketch the route. Reverse Mountain implies the entry point, Whiskey Peak hints at the first human welcome, Little Garden suggests prehistoric trouble, Laboon teases an emotional detour, and Loguetown is the shadow of the Pirate King. The Drum Island reveal strengthens that read. 

Why the hype is justified

Season 1 wasn’t just “good for an anime adaptation.” It was objectively huge by platform metrics. 

• Eight weeks in the Global Top 10. 
• Reached #1 in 75+ countries. 
• First English-language Netflix series to debut at #1 in Japan. 
• Nearly 100M views; one of Netflix’s most downloaded shows. 
• Nominated for 11 Children’s & Family Emmys. 

Given that performance, the early Season 3 renewal is not a shock. Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes will run S3, while Owens and Tracz handle S2. That’s a stable handoff, and it keeps the adaptation crisply aligned with the source material’s spirit. 

When does One Piece Season 2 release?

10 March 2026 on Netflix. 

Is Season 2 called Into the Grand Line?

Which arcs might we see?

Is Season 3 happening?

Yes. Netflix notes a Season 3 renewal and names Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes as S3 co-showrunners.
