Moving onto recent news, Season 2 is already in the works and now Season 3 is being planned as well.
Production and expectations for Season 2
The making Season 2 has intrigued fans. The scripts for season 2 were reportedly ready as of September 2023. Filming was delayed by the SAG-AFTRA strike, but filming was expected to begin once the strike was over.

This timeline indicates that fans could be looking forward to Season 2 dropping in 2025.

It should be noted that it is likely that the Drum Island arc will bring Tony Tony Chopper to the screen, who is a fan favorite character.
Hints Towards One Piece Season 3
Though Netflix has yet to make an official announcement about a third season, there are several signs that Season 3 is already being planned.

This listing suggests writing and production contracts are in place, which only adds to the case that a Season 3 is on the way.
Adding fuel to speculation, Roronoa Zoro actor Mackenyu said in an interview that they would go on to shoot Season 3 of “One Piece” after finishing their scheduled work of the year. All of these comments really imply that the cast and crew are getting to work on the third film, long before Season 2 has been set for release.
What to Expect in One Piece Season 3
Assuming that the show continues to follow the manga’s narrative, Season 3 will focus on the Arabasta arc. This arc is important because it tells the story of the Straw Hat Pirates traveling to the desert kingdom of Arabasta, where they face off against the powerful antagonist Crocodile. The plot is full of political and military intrigue, epic fights, and emotional beats that have made resonant fans of the original series.
There is the possibility of beloved characters like Princess Vivi, as well as the evil Baroque Works organization being introduced in this season as well. Fans are especially curious for the live-action take on these characters and the expansive desert landscapes of Arabasta.
The success of the live-action adaptation of the hit series includes on many factors including the beloved manga series titled “One Piece” created by Eiichiro Oda, introducing the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates to a new generation of fans. With Season 2 set to drop in 2025 and solid hints at a Season 3 that will adapt for the Arabasta arc, there’s a lot for fans to look forward to. The continuing series builds upon the balance of adventure, friendship, and unstoppable ambition that was found in the original source material.
