Until today, I was under the assumption that One Piece Season 2 would premiere sometime on the 2025 TV schedule , but evidently I was wrong. While Netflix has been showing off many of its movies and TV shows being released in 2025, including a sneak peak at Wake Up Dead Man , One Piece was not among the lineup. Meaning, unless Season 2’s being saved as a surprise release for the end of the year, those with a Netflix subscription won’t get to see the live-action incarnations of Monkey D.
Luffy and the other Straw Hat Pirates resume their adventuring until 2026. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disappointed about this, and yet I also can’t help wondering if this might actually lead to some good news in the grand scheme of things. One Piece Season 1 was released on August 31, 2023, and it only took two weeks for Netflix to order its renewal.
Season 2 began filming at the beginning of July 2024 in South Africa and wrapped up on December 15. Naturally One Piece is a series that relies heavily on VFX, so it was to be expected that postproduction was going to be pretty lengthy. Still, for Season 2 to not arrive until roughly three years after Season 1 is quite the long wait; it’s the same amount of time that passed between Strangers Things Seasons 3 and 4, as well as between 4 and the forthcoming Stranger Things Season 5 .
