Netflix’s One Piece: Into the Grand Line (Season 2) is set to release in 2026. Here’s everything we know so far; cast, story arcs, new characters, and what to expect from the Straw Hat Pirates’ journey into the Grand Line.
Netflix’s One Piece Into The Grand Line
When Netflix’s live-action One Piece launched in 2023, it surprised fans and critics alike by delivering a faithful, fun, and visually daring adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s legendary manga. The first season charted the rise of Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his ragtag crew through the East Blue saga, culminating in their setting sail toward the dangerous, mysterious, and endlessly exciting Grand Line.
Now, the voyage continues with One Piece: Into the Grand Line, the official title for Season 2.
When Will One Piece Season 2 Release on Netflix?
Netflix has confirmed that One Piece: Into the Grand Line is scheduled to debut in 2026, though no exact date has been announced yet. Filming wrapped in early 2025, meaning the show is now in the heavy visual effects and post-production stage.
Even better, Netflix has already given the series a Season 3 renewal, proving confidence in the franchise’s long-term potential.
What Story Arcs Will Season 2 Cover?
Season 2 promises to expand the world of One Piece beyond the relatively small seas of East Blue. Expect to see the Straw Hat Pirates navigate major fan-favorite arcs, including:
- Loguetown: The town where Gold Roger was executed, and where Luffy faces Marine Captain Smoker for the first time.
- Reverse Mountain & Whiskey Peak: The gateway into the Grand Line, introducing dangerous new foes and allies.
- Drum Island: Where the crew meets Tony Tony Chopper, the reindeer doctor who will officially join the Straw Hats.
- Little Garden: A prehistoric island filled with giants and hidden threats.
New Characters Joining the Adventure
The cast is expanding in exciting ways for Into the Grand Line:
- Tony Tony Chopper: Played via CGI and performance capture, Chopper is a reindeer who ate the Human-Human Fruit. He becomes the Straw Hats’ beloved doctor.
- Smoker: A chain-smoking Marine captain with a Logia-type Devil Fruit ability, making him a formidable new rival.
- Miss All Sunday (Nico Robin): Mysterious, intelligent, and dangerous, she plays a pivotal role in the Baroque Works storyline.
- Dr. Kureha: The eccentric doctor who mentors Chopper on Drum Island.
- Crocodile: The mastermind villain of Baroque Works, one of the first major warlords Luffy must overcome.
Production Team
The creative team remains mostly intact, with Joe Tracz leading Season 2 as showrunner and Matt Owens staying on as executive producer. Season 3 will see Ian Stokes join the leadership team, but for now, Into the Grand Line continues with the same insight that made Season 1.
Why Into the Grand Line Could Define Netflix’s One Piece
Season 1 was all about introducing Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji. Season 2 is about testing them as a crew. The Grand Line is where the real adventure begins, where Devil Fruits, warlords, Marines, and ancient mysteries intertwine in ways that cement One Piece as one of the greatest sagas ever written.
If Netflix can balance emotional depth with the high-stakes action and outrageous creativity of Oda’s world, Into the Grand Line may not just satisfy fans but also prove that live-action anime adaptations can truly thrive.
