The "One Piece" live action TV series adaptation of the manga comics by Eiichiro Oda, starring Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero Gibson and Taz Skylar, has been renewed for Season Three streaming on Netflix:

"...our journey follows the adventures of the fugitive 'Straw Hat Pirates', as they explore the dangerous oceans, lands and beyond in search of the 'One Piece'...

"...a fabled treasure that will make their captain 'The King of the Pirates'. 

"But, the 'Navy' is on their ship's tail and they're not the only crew searching for the One Piece. 

"Armed with skills and unbreakable friendship, the Straw Hats are ready for the journey and even more ready to fight for their dreams together..."

Emily Rudd is officially coming back to her role as Nami, the cartographer in Netflix’s One Piece Season 2, as revealed by the first look images published on Tudum. But in case you’re wondering if she’s still loyal to Arlong, we can tell you she is not.

While Nami did double-cross the Straw Hats for Arlong in Season 1, she eventually returned to the crew by the finale. So it’s safe to say she will not be working with or for Arlong. Nami will continue her journey as a loyal member of the Straw Hat crew, including Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu), Usopp (Jacob Romero), and Chef Sanji (Taz Skylar)—on their quest to find the One Piece treasure.

It’s been a while since Season 1 came out, and if you’re trying to remember why Nami worked for Arlong in the first place, let...

One Piece Season 2 is in the works after receiving a speedy renewal from Netflix after Season 1’s arrival last year. The live-action series is based on Eiichiro Oda’s best-selling manga.

The show follows the otherworldly adventures of Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his pirate crew as they explore exotic islands and endless oceans in search of the ultimate treasure “One Piece” to become the next Pirate King.

Set sail with us through what we know about One Piece Season 2 so far:

Who is in the One Piece Season 2 cast?

The Straw Hats are played by Mackenyu (Roronoa Zoro), Emily Rudd (Nami), Jacob Romero Gibson (Usopp) and Taz Skylar (Sanji).

Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Jeff Ward and Michael Dorman will return as new villain Avida, Buggy and Pirate King Gold Roger, respectively.

The cast also includes McKinley Belcher III, Morgan Davies, Aidan Scott, Vincent Regan, Craig Fairbrass, Langley Kirkwood, Celeste Loots,...

It’s a rare thing for a Netflix series to get an early renewal. And yet, One Piece hasn’t even premiered its second season yet, and it’s already landed some positive renewal news.

Yes, One Piece season 3 is officially happening. The news was announced during the annual One Piece Day celebration in Tokyo, Japan. The early renewal is excellent news for fans of the series, and not just because we get more episodes.

Netflix has given One Piece an early season three renewal and unveiled a one-minute first-look video along with new photos from the upcoming second season. The just-announced third season will return to Cape Town to shoot.

One Piece premiered in August 2023, and season two is targeting a 2026 launch. The streamer didn’t confirm when season three will be released.

The popular series based on Eiichiro Oda’s bestselling manga series stars Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. Ian Stokes will team up with Joe Tracz as co-showrunners for season three.

"Everywhere I go... is for the One Piece!" Netflix has unveiled a first look teaser for the next season of the live-action anime series One Piece, which originally debuted in 2023 a few a years ago. It seems this is one of Netflix's most succesful live-action anime series as they're continuing on with this one developing Season 2 & 3. The next season is titled One Piece: Into the Grand Line, set to arrive sometime in 2026, so this is an early teaser but it does have glimpses of footage already. A new dawn is approaching. The Grand Line is no place for the faint of heart. Brace yourselves. One Piece is an expansive ongoing story about a group of misfits joining together to become Luffy's crew, the Straw Hats.

Out of yesterday’s annual ‘One Piece’ Day celebration in Tokyo, Japan, Netflix shared a first look at the highly anticipated season two of the epic pirate adventure series, returning in 2026.

Netflix ha arrojado el ancla y desplegado velas. Ya está aquí el primer tráiler de la segunda temporada de One Piece. Y eso no es todo: también ha confirmado una tercera temporada cuyo rodaje zarpará a finales de año en Ciudad del Cabo, Sudáfrica.

La serie live action, basada en el manga más vendido de la historia nipona, firmado por Eiichiro Oda, es una aventura en alta mar, legendaria como ninguna otra. Monkey D. Luffy es un joven aventurero que siempre ha ansiado la libertad, así que abandona su modesto puerto para lanzarse a la caza del tesoro más legendario jamás contado –el One Piece– y coronarse como Rey de los Piratas. Para lograrlo, necesitará la tripulación perfecta, un barco para escudriñar cada rincón de los vastos océanos y la suficiente audacia para burlar a marines implacables y rivales.

As Netflix ramps up promotion for season two of One Piece, it is also getting fans excited for season three, tacking on a brief plug for the now-confirmed episodes. Added to that, we also see that the sophomore outing has been subtitled Into the Grand Line, the location the Straw Hats were venturing towards in the seasson one finale.

Season two of One Piece still doesn’t have a confirmed release date, but will hit Netflix sometime in 2026. Prior to that, filming on season three will beginning in Cape Town, South Africa later this year. Season three will also see series writer Ian Stokes – who penned “The Man in the Straw Hat” and co-wrote “The Girl with the Sawfish Tattoo” – joining Joe Tracz as showrunner. Stokes is co-writing the season two debut, “The Beginning and the End”, with Matt Owens, who developed the series alongside Steve Maedea.

Here is the...

Netflix has confirmed that its live-action One Piece series will be sailing on for a third season. The announcement was made during this year’s One Piece Day in Tokyo, the annual celebration of Eiichiro Oda’s beloved manga. The best part for fans is that this news comes before season 2 has even hit screens.

According to Netflix, filming for season 3 will begin later this year in Cape Town, South Africa. Ian Stokes will join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer. Tracz is already serving in those roles for season 2 alongside Matt Owens, but Owens will not be returning for the next chapter.

Season 2 is set to arrive in 2026, and Netflix has already given fans a taste of what’s to come. The show follows Monkey D. Luffy, played by Iñaki Godoy, a young pirate with a dream of becoming the King of the Pirates.

Production for season 3 will kick off later this year in Cape Town, South Africa. Ian Stokes will join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer for the upcoming season.

Season 2 is set to arrive in 2026, but Netflix has already shared a first look. The show is based on Eiichiro Oda’s famous manga and is made in partnership with Shueisha, produced by Tomorrow Studios and Netflix.

It tells the story of Monkey D. Luffy, played by Iñaki Godoy, a young pirate with big dreams. Luffy wants to become the King of the Pirates by finding the legendary treasure left behind by Gold Roger,...

“One Piece” is setting sail once again, with the live-action adaptation of the beloved manga and anime series getting an early Season 3 renewal at Netflix.

The news came out of the annual One Piece Day celebration on Tokyo, where it was also revealed that Ian Stokes would be joining Joe Tracz as co-showrunner on Season 3. Stokes was previously a co-executive producer on Season 1. Production on the third season will begin later this year in Cape Town, South Africa.

“One Piece” Season 2 does not have a premiere date, but it is slated to return in 2026 on Netflix. The streamer has also released several first look images from the new season, which can be seen below.

Officially titled “One Piece: Into the Grand Line,” the official description for Season 2 states:

“Netflix’s epic high-seas pirate adventure, ‘One Piece,’ returns for Season 2—unleashing fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet. Luffy and...

Netflix will keep sailing the high seas.

The streamer has given an early season three renewal to its live-action adaptation of One Piece, announcing the pickup at an annual celebration of Eiichiro Oda’s long-running manga in Tokyo. The renewal comes several months ahead of the season two premiere, which is slated for 2026. That, incidentally, is much sooner than the season two renewal for One Piece, which came a couple weeks after the series premiere in 2023.

Additionally, Netflix announced that Ian Stokes will join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner on season three, which is set to begin filming later this year. Stokes wrote two episodes and was a co-executive producer of season one. Former co-showrunner Matt Owens departed the show in March; he and Tracz were co-showrunners on the second season, while Owens and Steven Maeda ran the first season.

Along with the renewal announcement, Netflix released a teaser for season...

One Piece has earned an early season 3 renewal by Netflix.

The live-action pirate show isn’t returning for a second season until 2026. At this weekend’s annual One Piece Day celebration in Tokyo, Japan, Netflix shared a first look at the upcoming season that’s based on Japan’s highest-selling manga series of all time by Eiichiro Oda. (You can see the images above and below.)

Production on season 3 will kick off in Cape Town, South Africa later this year. Ian Stokes, who has been co-executive producer on One Piece, is set to join Joe Tracz as co-showrunner. He succeeds Matt Owens who departed in March after serving as executive producer and co-showrunner on Seasons 1 and 2. Tracz became co-showrunner in Season 2 and has been shepherding the season through post-production following Owens’ exit.

Here’s the logline for season 2, which promises to “unleash fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet.

Netflix has unveiled the first look at our Straw Hat crew for season 2 of the live-action adaptation of One Piece, and the crew looks better than ever together. The first look gives us a glimpse at updated outfits for Taz Skylar‘s Sanji, Emily Rudd‘s Nami, Mackenyu‘s Zoro, and Jacob Romero‘s Usopp, with Iñaki Godoy‘s Luffy still boasting his classic red vest and straw hat.

While Mikaela Hoover‘s Tony Tony Chopper remains absent from this sneak peek, it does hint at a faster-paced development of the team’s camaraderie on their way to Drum Island.

One of the more notable changes from this first glimpse is the attire, especially in the case of Sanji, who is donning a long-sleeve undershirt with a red t-shirt, a departure from the manga.

As production for Season 2 of the live-action adaptation ofOne Piece continues, Netflix has released a new behind-the-scenes image of the Straw Hat Pirates. The photo features the show's seafaring crew, consisting of Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, Jacob Romero Gibson, and Taz Skylar, highlighting the cast's real-life and fictional bond while giving fans a first look at new costumes set to appear in the upcoming Season.

The image was shared on the show's official Twitter/X account and shows the Straw Hat Pirates aboard the Going Merry, all dressed in their new Season 2 outfits. One noticeable change is Nami's look. She's swapped her white shirt for a blue, crisscross-patterned top with a heart in the center. Unlike the original, her new outfit has long sleeves and provides more coverage. Sanji also has a fresh look. Instead of the suit he wore in Season 1, he now wears a red top...

Netflix's One Piece Season 2 is getting a "Big" announcement later this weekend, but fans have been treated to an exciting new look at the hit pirate action series. One of the most successful manga adaptations is set to return to the streamer in 2026, and the Straw Hat Pirates will be headed to the Grand Line on their biggest adventure yet.

The official Netflix social media account for One Piece released a new photo of the Straw Hat Pirate crew on the set of Season 2. The image features Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. Each member of the main crew is sporting a different outfit pulled straight from Eiichiro Oda's manga. The post also teases that a major announcement is coming this weekend during the One Piece Day event on August 9-...

When most people think of successful fantasy TV shows, HBO and Prime Video are probably the first two networks that come to mind. They’ve both upped their investments in the fantasy genre lately with new seasons of House of the Dragon, The Wheel of Time, The Rings of Power, and more, but Netflix isn’t that far behind.

There are some great Netflix fantasy shows to stream right now! Since Game of Thrones, Netflix has quietly assembled an epic lineup of fantasy shows. There were so many shows that could have made this list, but I wanted to choose a very small, select group of shows that fantasy fans need to watch if they haven’t yet.

So, let’s get the ranking of the best Netflix fantasy shows started with Shadow and Bone.

One of the most eagerly anticipated seasons of a television series is the second season of Netflix's live-action adaptation of One Piece. While filming has already wrapped, audiences will have to wait until 2026 before Season 2 premieres. The coming season puts the focus back on Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his crew, as they continue to sail across the Grand Line, where new friends and foes await. The Straw Hat crew will come into conflict with the antagonist group Baroque Works, with David Dastmalchian portraying a high-ranking member named Mr. 3. In an interview with ScreenRant, Dastmalchian explained what to expect from his character in Season 3.

"So Mr. 3, even though he's Mr. 3 in the Baroque Works, he's going to be No. 1 in your hearts," Dastmalchian tells the outlet. "He shoots candle wax out of his hands. As far as I know, I think it's the only place that he shoots out of.

Netflix's One Piece Season 2 will set sail on the streamer sometime in 2026, but fans will be getting some "wild" news sooner rather than later. Based on the best-selling manga by Eiichiro Oda, the hit pirate action series returns with another exciting tease about what is to come.

Netflix released a new video that takes fans behind the scenes of One Piece Season 2, which wrapped up filming earlier this year. Iñaki Godoy, who plays Monkey D. Luffy, is seen messing around in a dinosaur costume with the cast and crew on the set of Season 2. Along with an exciting behind-the-scenes tour, which teases a major production upgrade, the caption confirms that fans should expect even wilder news on One Piece Day, which will be celebrated on August 9 and 10. Will an official release date be revealed? Fans will have to wait until then to find out. Check out the video below:...

One Piece has received 1100+ episodes and chapters so far and is still ongoing. It is ranked 15th in the list of anime franchises with the most episodes. Needless to say, it has plenty of sagas and arcs to keep fans occupied for the longest time.

Some of these arcs are information-heavy, while others are full of action sequences. Some arcs consist of a few episodes, while others take up days to complete. So, without further ado, this is a list of all One Piece anime arcs and their durations

After the controversial and oftentimes hated "Star Wars" sequel trilogy, Rey actress Daisy Ridley has had difficulty finding box office and critical success. Dystopian thrillers were outdated by the time the overly grim "Chaos Walking" came out in 2021, the Trudy Ederle biopic "Young Woman and the Sea" was too bland, and the psychological thriller "The Marsh King's Daughter" snoozed audiences rather than intrigued them. Her quietly fragile performance in "Sometimes I Think About Dying" was exquisite, but it was such a tiny indie release and the title might be off-putting to some.

Ridley recently starred in "Cleaner," which did poorly at the box office, earning only $1 million on a $25 million budget. Although it flew under the radar, "Cleaner" deserves far more credit. It's the kind of taut, explosive action flick for grown-ups that doesn't really exist anymore because theatres are bogged down with IP-driven franchises. The plot of terrorists taking...

While Cleaner, starring Daisy Ridley, Clive Owen, and Taz Skylar, didn’t fare well at the box office during its limited theatrical window, since heading to streaming, the action feature has found new legs. Directed by Martin Campbell, the man responsible for GoldenEye and Casino Royale, the movie premiered on Max to impressive numbers.

Although the movie opened to underwhelming critical reception for its uninspired narrative, interestingly, on Max, the action thriller is just tracking behind one of the biggest commercial hits of the year.

Taz Skylar’s ‘Cleaner’ continues to excel on Max

Since heading to Max, Cleaner, which surged to the top 1 spot shortly after its premiere on June 13, has continued to breach the top 10 spot. As of now (Per Flixpatrol), the movie is currently trailing behind WB’s A Minecraft Story, driving past the likes of Hunger Games and the Brad Pitt-led Bullet Train.

Daisy Ridley...

Netflix's live-action adaptation of One Piece has recently been confirmed to be releasing its next batch of episodes in 2026, with the next season shaping up to be yet another ambitious adaptation. The first season of the series adapted the East Blue saga from the manga created by Eiichiro Oda, telling the story of Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) recruiting the first four members of his crew. However, the second season sees the newly assembled Straw Hat Crew sailing to the Grand Line, meaning that larger-scale arcs like Little Garden and Drum Island will be adapted.

Moreover, the overarching antagonist of this next saga, Mr. 0 aka Crocodile, will play a large role in the second (and hopefully third) seasons. Joe Manganiello plays the iconic One Piece villain, and the actor recently spoke with Eva Carducci on Instagram about his appearance in Season 2, teasing that he had seen some footage of himself as Crocodile,...

Netflix's One Piece arrived in 2023 and turned into a smash-hit success for the streamer, and its sophomore season is an eagerly anticipated one. Sadly, we will have to wait a while as its premiere is billed for sometime in 2026. Season 2 of One Piece will see the story of Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his crew continue, but as they sail across the Grand Line, there will be new friends and foes to meet. One of the new faces coming to Season 2 of One Piece is Joe Manganiello, who will play Mr. 0, aka, the "Desert King" Sir Crocodile. The character is set to be a formidable foe for Luffy and the Straw Hats, and Manganiello has recently teased his character's arrival.

Speaking with Eva Carducci on Instagram, Manganiello explained that he has seen some of what he's shot as Crocodile already, and said, “it’s about the coolest thing...

Cleaner delivers a high-stakes and action-packed finale, where Joey Locke, a former soldier turned window cleaner, must stop a deadly terrorist plot that unravels inside a skyscraper. The movie is directed by Martin Campbell and pits Daisy Ridley’s Joey against her co-worker Noah, played by Taz Skylar.

The 2025 British thriller features a villain who takes hostages, is unafraid of explosions, and a lot more, but how does it all end? Let’s break down its climax, the director’s views on the antagonist, and the fate of its characters who get caught in the crossfire.

Daisy Ridley essays the role of Joey Locke, a former Special Reconnaissance Regiment soldier who now works as a window cleaner at London’s One Canada Square.

Joey is traumatized due to her abusive childhood, and her military discharge for assaulting a misogynistic comrade.

Daisy Ridley will always be known for her role as Rey Skywalker in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, but earlier this year, she starred in an action thriller likened to John Wick upon its release, which has been a sensation on streaming. Ridley stars alongside Taz Skylar and Ruth Gemmell in Cleaner, the action vehicle following an ex-soldier-turned-window-cleaner who has to rescue hostages after a gala is hijacked and its attendees fall into major trouble. Cleaner began streaming on Max at the end of last week, and the film wasted no time climbing to the top of streaming charts, sitting at #1 at the time of writing. Cleaner earned a “rotten” 52% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, but a slightly kinder 66% on the audience-driven Popcornmeter.

Simon Uttley, Paul Andrew Williams, and Matthew Orton wrote the script for Cleaner, and Martin Campbell directed the film. Orton also worked as a writer on Marvel’s Moon Knight series,...

Daisy Ridley's action thriller, which has been compared to Die Hard, has become a streaming hit four months after it made just $1 million at the box office. Ridley rose from relative obscurity to superstardom when she was cast as Rey in the Star Wars sequel trilogy – headlining The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi, and The Rise of Skywalker – and is set to reprise her role in the upcoming New Jedi Order movie. However, since leaving Star Wars behind, Ridley's career has seen mixed results otherwise.

Following The Rise of Skywalker, her first few projects, the sci-fi film Chaos Walking and psychological thriller The Marsh King's Daughter, were both critical and commercial flops. She rebounded with the Sundance drama Sometimes I Think About Dying, delivering a superbly melancholic performance, and continued to turn in strong showings in Disney's Young Woman and the Sea and the neo-noir thriller Magpie. Now, Daisy...

When the live-action adaptation of One Piece was being developed, the show had to ensure that it got the stamp of approval of its creator, Eiichiro Oda, which is why he was hands-on during the show's production. But it's not just him. Anime voice actor Hiroaki Hirata recently shared his thoughts on the live-action take of Sanji, played by Taz Skylar, and the challenges of dubbing this character for the Netflix show.

In an interview with Anime News Network, Hirata was asked about Skylar's portrayal of Sanji since he had voiced the character for more than two decades. He stated that his first impression of the character was that "he's too cool" and wondered if Netflix would showcase the silly side of this Straw Hat Pirate. Despite Season 1 only covering up to the Arlong Park story arc, his worries vanished after seeing Skylar's performance on screen.

"Before the episodes aired,...

Professional voice actor Hiroaki Hirata is perhaps best known for his role as Sanji in the original Japanese One Piece anime. After spending two-and-a-half decades getting to know the character inside and out, Hirata admitted that he was initially skeptical about Taz Skylar taking on the role in Netflix's live-action One Piece adaptation.

Initially released in August 2023, Netflix's One Piece stars Taz Skylar (Sanji), Mackenyu (Zoro), and Emily Rudd (Nami) alongside series' lead Inaki Godoy (Luffy) in a lively new rendition of Eiichiro Oda's classic shōnen. As a fellow Straw Hat, Sanji is responsible for keeping Luffy's crew well-fed on their adventures, and his charismatic personality has endeared him to millions of One Piece fans. During a recent interview with Anime News Network, Hirata shared his thoughts on Skylar after seeing him in costume as Sanji for the first time. "My first impression was, 'he's too cool..." He stated.

Earlier this year, Star Wars alum Daisy Ridley laced up her boots, loaded her guns and got to work in Martin Campbell’s high-octane flick, Cleaner. Though the movie didn’t sweep up the box office figures it was hoping for, it will have another chance to wipe the slate clean and start over again, as it has set a streaming arrival for Max on Friday, June 13. Though the movie left audiences wanting more, receiving a Rotten Tomatoes critics' approval rating of 51% and a slightly higher audience stamp of 66%, viewers could all agree on one thing — Ridley was born for a life of action. The film gives the actress her own Bruce Willis or Jason Statham-like character, and she steps up to the challenge without hesitation, making the role of the hero look like a piece of cake.

Netflix's live-action One Piece adaptation is returning for a highly anticipated Season 2 next year, but fans of the hit pirate series can set sail with their favorite crew sooner rather than later. Lego is finally bringing the Straw Hat Pirate crew to the toyline, and iconic sets have been recreated in blocky form.

Lego unveiled a handful of new sets for One Piece, which feature Monkey D. Luffy and the rest of his crew on the Going Merry, as well as other instantly recognizable locations and beloved characters. In addition to the main pirate ship, fans can purchase sets for Arlong Park, Windmill Village, Buggy the Clown's Circus Tent, and the Baratie.

After a lot of hype, One Piece live action finally made its way to Netflix in 2023 and proved that not all adaptations disappoint. Starring Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, and others, Season one quickly became the most-watched Netflix show during the latter half of 2023. With Season 2 ready to hit the screens next year, fans are already wondering what Matt Owens and Steven Maeda may have in store for them.

As for the cast of One Piece, aka the beloved Straw Hat Pirates, they already know what they want to do in Season 3: join forces with the world of WWE. It would be a dream come true for Emily Rudd if she got the green light to replicate a WWE legend’s move as Nami, and turns out, she has already gotten his blessing.

Season two of One Piece live action has been in the making for quite some time now. With updates trickling in slowly since production began in July last year, Netflix has been keeping its highly anticipated show quite under wraps. However, the Ott platform answered a few questions during its Tudum event on June 1, 2025.

One Piece season 2 will be released on Netflix sometime in 2026. At the event, Netflix also announced a new character this season – Tony Tony Chopper. Voiced by Mikaela Hoover, this tiny character was introduced via a short teaser video. Hoover also took the facial capture of Chopper.

One Piece has always been about wild dreams, bold adventures, and unexpected journeys, even when it seems downright impossible or defies common sense, Luffy and the Straw Hats have done it.

Now, it seems like the ambitions have switched from the Grand Line straight into the WWE Universe. WWE switched to Netflix, and this move has had a hilarious outcome during Netflix’s Tudum 2025 global fan event.

The stars of One Piece‘s live-action series, which has been wildly popular, have made a surprising yet hilarious request. The stars, including Iñaki Godoy, want to make their WWE debut and enter the square ring.

The Straw Hats take time off for a side quest

Who can imagine, Monkey D. Luffy, the man who is going to be the Pirate King, and his unique Straw Hat crew would be itching to jump into the square ring and pull off some famous moves.

One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has shared his reaction to the long-awaited reveal of Tony Tony Chopper in the upcoming second installment of Netflix's popular live-action series. In December 2024, Oda visited the show's set in South Africa, where the cast and crew were filming Season 2.

Oda expressed his excitement about Chopper’s live-action debut in a post shared by the Netflix Anime X account. The beloved mangaka also praised the creative team who are responsible for bringing the fan-favorite character to life. "The key to Season 2 is, of course, our weird talking animal," he wrote. "After extensive trial and refinement by the entire team, the day has come to finally unveil him!! From his form and furs to his expressions and voice, and even lighting and gravity simulation - a world-class team brought their skills together in bringing Tony Tony Chopper to life, and now he's ready to be introduced to the world!

Netflix Tudum live 2025 was everything we wanted it to be. We learned that when series are dropping, we were entertained by Lady Gaga, and Sofia Carson was a very good host.

But we didn't watch because the event is like an awards show. We watch to learn about stuff. More specifically, when movies and series we want to watch are coming out.

It's difficult to fit everything into just a couple of hours, but Netflix did its best. Were we satisfied with the amount of information? Of course. Here are four of the biggest things we learned.

Netflix’s Tudum event brought Tony Tony Chopper trotting onto the stage in virtual form, confirming that Mikaela Hoover will voice and performance-capture the Straw Hats’ pint-size doctor when One Piece returns in 2026. A brief teaser showed the blue-nosed reindeer bounding across a Cape Town set while Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero and Taz Skylar welcomed him to the crew.

Series creator Eiichiro Oda hailed Chopper’s arrival in a handwritten note shared after the reveal, calling the character “the heart of the ship” and praising the blend of practical prosthetics and Wētā-assisted CGI that preserves his cartoonish charm. Showrunner Joe Tracz said the team settled on Hoover—best known for Guardians of the Galaxy cameos—after screen tests proved her “elastic vocal range could swing from timid to fearless in the same line.

Luffy, alongside Mackenyu Arata's Zoro, Emily Rudd's Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson's Usopp, and Taz Skylar's Sanji. The crew will also be picking up new Straw Hats along the way.

Who's ready for One Piece season 2? Netflix has just announced some really exciting news about the highly anticipated second season. We'll get to reunite with Luffy and his Straw Hat Pirates crew next year! Yes, you read that right. One Piece season 2 is coming out in 2026. Netflix announced this amazing news at its live Tudum event on May 31.

We had hoped that the second season would be released this year, but after Netflix revealed its 2025 lineup and the live-action series wasn't included on the list, it pretty much solidified that the new installment would not be released in 2025. Given production wrapping up in February 2025, a 2026 release seemed more likely, and now it's officially confirmed.

Sadly, Netflix didn’t share an official release date during its Tudum event. However, if we had to make a release prediction, we believe there’s a strong chance One Piece season 2 could drop early next year,...

One Piece already had a built-in fanbase via its 100+-volume, 25+-year history as a manga, so it was expected to do well when it got its inevitable live-action adaptation. And it did, topping Netflix charts and receiving strong reviews overall. With that, anticipation is high for season two of One Piece, especially now with the reveal of a new character, Tony Tony Chopper, who made his first appearance back in 2000.

In addition, we learned that the supremely talented Mikaela Hoover will portray Chopper using vocal talents and facial capture. Hoover did similar work as Floor the Rabbit in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.

Hoover is just the latest cast member to join the gang for season two of One Piece, which also includes Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday, Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0, Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday, Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk, Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek,...
