Netflix is celebrating the success of One Piece season two with multiple announcements about the Straw Hat crew world. First up, season three has an official title—One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta. The third season will premiere in 2027, a much quicker turnaround than between seasons one and two.
Netflix released this description of the upcoming season: “In this upcoming season, war is coming for Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat crew in the desert kingdom of Alabasta, Princess Vivi’s homeland. A rebellion threatens to tear the nation apart, fueled in secret by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the ruthless Sir Crocodile, and his underground syndicate Baroque Works, who seek to conquer Alabasta for themselves.
In a season defined by unbreakable bonds and impossible choices, the Straw Hats must face a brewing civil war and a powerful warlord to save Vivi’s kingdom before it crumbles into the sand. Fans can look forward to formidable new enemies and brand-new worlds where the stakes have never been higher.”
Season two stars Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, Taz Skylar as Sanji, and Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday. Lera Abova plays Miss All-Sunday, David Dastmalchian is Mr. 3, Camrus Johnson is Mr. 5, Jazzara Jaslyn is Miss Valentine, Daniel Lasker is Mr. 9, and Sophia Anne Caruso is Miss Goldenweek.
Godoy, Mackenyu, Rudd, Romero, Sanji, and Chandran return for season three. Mikaela Hoover (Chopper), Joe Manganiello (Mr. 0), Lera Abova (Miss All Sunday) and Sendhil Ramamurthy (Nefartari Cobra) have all been upped to series regulars for season three. Newcomers include Cole Escola as Bon Clay and Xolo Maridueña as Portgas D. Ace.
“The Alabasta saga is one of the best-loved stories in all of One Piece—and one of our personal favorite arcs—so it’s a huge honor to bring it to life,” stated showrunners Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes. “Season three builds on everything we’ve done before to tell a war story that’s epic and emotional, spectacular and surprising. We can’t wait for fans to join us in Alabasta, where the stakes are high… and the ducks are big.”
The series is based on Japan’s highest-selling manga series of all time by Eiichiro Oda. Season two currently sits at 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
The streamer also announced a LEGO® ONE PIECE animated special premiering on September 29, 2026. Per Netflix: The special retells the epic events of the first two seasons of the live action One Piece, in a way only the LEGO Group can — jam-packed with comedy, high-stakes thrills, and brick-built action that is the perfect entryway for new recruits and an exciting new perspective for veteran pirates.
And Netflix released new details on the anime series The One Piece from WIT Studio. The series is currently in production in collaboration with Shueisha, Toei Animation, and Fuji Television Network. “This reimagining of the iconic East Blue saga provides a fresh yet familiar lens on Oda’s rich world-building,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “The series utilizes cutting-edge visual technology to bring the legendary start of Luffy’s quest to a new generation.”
“The passion of the One Piece fandom is unparalleled—spanning generations, they’ve turned our live-action series into a true global phenomenon that continues to top the Netflix charts. We are massive fans too, which is why we’re going bigger than ever to bring the Grand Line to life across every medium,” said Marian Lee, Chief Marketing Officer, Netflix.
Lee continued, “From the epic high stakes of One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta in 2027 to our first-ever LEGO animated special this September, a stunning anime reimagining with The One Piece, and an expanded line of products so fans can bring the adventure home, we are building a universe where every fan—whether lifelong or brand new—can find their place in the Straw Hat crew.”
