The manga adaptation earns an early pickup.
August 9, 2025
Netflix announced during the annual One Piece Day celebration in Tokyo that the epic pirate adventure has been renewed for a third season. The pickup is an early one, coming well ahead of its second season, which isn't scheduled to release until 2026. Production on Season 3 will begin in Cape Town, South Africa later this year.
Based on Japan's best-selling manga series by Eiichiro Oda, the live action show follows Monkey D. Luffy, a young adventurer and budding pirate from a small village who has always longed for a life of freedom. He has powerful rubber-like abilities that he gained after eating a mysterious Devil Fruit. Luffy sets off on a perilous journey in search of the legendary treasure known as One Piece, so he can become King of the Pirates. He assembles a top crew and a ship to sail and sets off to scour the vast blue seas, outpacing the Marines and outwitting dangerous rivals at every turn.
Attention, Straw Hats! Here's your first look at ONE PIECE: INTO THE GRAND LINE.

season 1 was complete trash if you've seen the anime, full of late anime spoilers and deconstruction of characters personality, should never have even been renewed in the first place, going for a season 3 is stupid.

It's the only reason they ever renew before a season drops. No lose if they then decide to cancel it. If your confident in it why renew it early only to have to change your mind. Sure actors could leave but will they?

3 year between seasons? No wonder people lose interest. What happened to the standard year. I really liked S1, but already forgot what happened. Why would it get an early pickup when S3 probably won't be until 2029?

To be clear, I actually liked the first season. But Netflix has a track record of taking wayyyy too long getting out second seasons, and those second seasons tend to be of very, very poor quality.
The original showrunners for Season One, are not back for Season 2. So buyer beware; Season 2 is likely to be not-so-good to bad, and there likely will never be a third season.

Season 1 - Released Late August 2023
Season 2 - To Be Released "sometime" in 2026
Season 3 - Renewed to trick people into watching Season 2.
My money is on Netflix renewing this for a season 3 purely in the hopes it will get people to watch season 2. As lots of people would just not watch if they knew there was no renewal coming.
What will really happen is the new "quiet cancellation," where Netlfix will just never speak of Season 3 again. So it wouldn't officially be cancelled, to avoid outrage/backlash from the overly vocal minority, but in all reality it is canceled and will never happen.

I guess she didn't read the part where it said live action

Brenda Anderson, this is regarding the live action One Piece that airs on Netflix, NOT the anime...

@Brenda Anderson. Not the one on Netflix. Please read the article.

One Piece is in season 20 not season 3.
