Will One Piece Get A Season 3? Everything We Know About The Franchise's Future

One Piece is the show that everyone is talking about right now – and the franchise is only getting bigger.

Between the new second season of Netflix’s hit live-action adaptation and various spin-offs and sequels in the works, it’s a good time to be a fan of One Piece.

So, if you’ve already binged the entire of season two – and 100 existing manga volumes, and 1,000 episodes spanning 25 years aren’t enough for you – here’s our quick guide to some other One Piece spin-offs that are currently in production…

First of all, will Netflix’s One Piece get a season 3?

If you loved the recently-added new episodes, and can’t wait for a third outing of One Piece, we have good news for you.

Netflix already confirmed back in August 2025 that One Piece had been renewed for season three, with production starting in South Africa in November 2025.

The streamer confirmed that the Straw Hat pirates are all set to reunite to shoot the third series alongside some series two favourites, including Charithra Chandran and Mikaela Hoover.

Meanwhile, Joe Manganiello, Lera Abova and Sendhil Ramamurthy have all been promoted to series regulars.

No plot details for the new episodes have been announced for the time being, but at the very end of season two, the Straw Hats made a shocking realisation about the Baroque Works, which is sure to be explored in the upcoming season.

Will there be any new additions to the cast in One Piece season 3?

In addition to returning favourites, viewers will also be introduced to two brand new characters.

Xolo Maridueña will play Portgas D. Ace, while Tony-winning Oh Mary! creator Cole Escola is joining the show as Bon Clay, a theatrical assassin. 

A new animated series based on the One Piece manga is also coming to Netflix

Way back in 2023, Netflix announced an animated adaptation called The One Piece was in the pipeline.

The series is expected to serve as a remake of the existing anime series, which is now in its 25th season, and cover some of the same plots as the live-action version.

Netflix is also working with one of the Japanese animation studios behind the first seasons of Attack On Titan to reimagine the popular story.

Since the announcement almost three years ago, there’ve been no official updates, but as the live-action series proves, sometimes things take time in order to do them properly.

The original One Piece manga is very much still in production

One Piece was awarded a Guinness World Record in 2015 for “the most copies published for the same comic book series by a single author”.

More than a decade later, chapters of the popular manga are still being published by author Eiichiro Oda. 

A new chapter of One Piece comes out most weeks, with an English translation coming the same day on both the Viz website and on the Shonen Jump app.

So, if you are missing out on your fix, there are thousands of chapters of the manga to read, with the next chapter, One Piece 1177, set for release in just few days on 22 March.

A beloved character from the One Piece manga is getting their own spin-off, too

Fans of the live-action series were recently introduced to fan-favourite character Tony Tony Chopper in season two.

There’s plenty more to come from this character, as they are getting their own spin-off. 

Recently, a new website centred around Tony Tony Chopper was launched, which will feature stand-alone adventures that show the talking reindeer dealing with everyday-life situations. 

Expect regular content on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, as well as daily comics on the dedicated website.

Will there be any more episodes of the original One Piece anime?

After the success of Netflix’s One Piece adaptation, the BBC acquired the rights to more than 1,000 episodes of the anime in 2024, which are available to stream now on the broadcaster’s iPlayer service.

This marked the first time that fans in the UK could watch the show dubbed.

While the One Piece anime took a hiatus earlier this year, it is due back in April 2026 with an adaptation of the manga’s Elbaph arc.

The long-running series, which started in 1997, has recently slowed its schedule, but still releases an impressive 26 episodes a year, averaging one a fortnight.

There is more One Piece anime content in the works, too

Another One Piece animation on its way to hold you over, too.

One Piece: Heroines is coming in July 2026, although fans were disappointed to learn it would be a single-episode special.

Based on the eight-chapter novel series, which is a female-centric spin-off of One Piece, the upcoming anime will only adapt Nami’s story, although Robin will briefly appear, too.

The series is set to premiere in July 2026 on Fuji TV.

The first two seasons of Netflix’s One Piece are streaming now.
