Attention, Straw Hats — Netflix’s surprisingly great One Piece adaptation finally has a season 2 premiere date.

Netflix announced today that its take on One Piece is set to return on March 10th, 2026 with 8 new episodes that will follow Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and the rest of his Straw Hat Pirates as they journey into the Nameless Country (a reference to the manga’s Drum Island arc).

During a livestream news event, Toei animation also revealed today that the One Piece anime is going through some production changes next year as it heads into the show’s Elbaph Arc. Going forward, seasons will be split into 2 parts and consist of 26 episodes — a change series producer Ryūta Koike said is meant to help the anime “incorporate more content, tempo, and pacing of the manga while continuing to leverage the unique storytelling that is only possible with animation.”
