Netflix has revealed when the Straw Hats will officially set sail again — One Piece season 2, titled One Piece: Into the Grand Line, will premiere worldwide on March 10, 2026. The announcement arrived with a brand-new poster (below) teasing the crew’s icy adventure on Drum Island.
Sailing into new waters
The second season picks up where the hit first season left off, with Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his crew finally entering the legendary Grand Line. According to Netflix, the new chapters will see the Straw Hats visiting Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island — each location promising high-stakes encounters and strange new landscapes.
“Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line — a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn,” the official synopsis teases. “As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.”

A winter kingdom and bigger challenges
Co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer Joe Tracz offered a glimpse of what’s to come with the Drum Island storyline. “Drum Kingdom is a winter island. It’s our medieval Winterfell Game of Thrones location, where you have this haunted-seeming castle at the top of a snowy mountain inhabited by someone the villagers say is a witch,” Tracz tells Netflix site Tudum.
Filming took place in Cape Town, South Africa, where snow is in short supply. “We brought in piles and piles of fake snow,” Tracz says. “It tricks your brain. You’d get to set and feel like you should be cold, even though it was summer, because of all the fake snow everywhere.”
Tracz also teased the scale of the upcoming season: “Everything gets bigger. We are going to see giants and dinosaurs. We end up in the belly of a whale. Basically, our mantra for Season 2 is, ‘scale it all up.’ At the end of the first season, our characters made this pledge around a barrel to achieve their dreams, and in Season 2, we put those dreams to the test. Every island we visit in the Grand Line is going to challenge one of the Straw Hats in a unique way, and they’re going to learn that, to fulfill their dreams, they have to rely on each other.”
New faces join the adventure
Alongside the returning main cast — Mackenyu as Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji — season 2 will introduce a large slate of characters from Eiichiro Oda’s manga. Mikaela Hoover steps in as fan-favourite Tony Tony Chopper, with Lera Abova as Nico Robin, Joe Manganiello as Sir Crocodile, Charitha Chandran as Vivi Nefertari, Sendhil Ramamurthy as Cobra Nefertari, Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9, Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5, Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine, David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Werner Coetser as Dorry, Brendan Murray as Brogy, Callum Kerr as Smoker, Julia Rehwald as Tashigi, Rob Colletti as Wapol, Ty Keogh as Dalton, Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk, and more.
Produced by Tomorrow Studios (an ITV Studios partner) and Netflix in partnership with Shueisha, the live-action One Piece series has already been renewed for a third season, ensuring that the Grand Line voyage is far from over.
One Piece: Into the Grand Line premieres on Netflix on March 10, 2026.
