It’s worth noting at this early stage that Netflix declined to comment when we asked directly about Season 3 of One Piece, but judging by recent interviews and now a production listing, it certainly seems like it will. Is a piece Ready to make your comeback. Let’s look at the evidence so far.
As you may know, Netflix passed a piece A renewal order was given for September 2023, just weeks after the series debuted on Netflix. It took approximately ten months to begin shooting the second season, which began on June 24, 2024 and is expected to end in late January 2025.
Even before filming, there were rumors that One Piece had been quietly renewed for a third season. In early June 2024, Brashad Mayweather, who played Patty in Season 1, discussed in an interview “What is happening” Filming was to begin for seasons two and three.
“We’ll see if they think about it again because they’re starting filming two seasons soon – seasons two and three – back to back. So we’ll see what happens.”
At the time, Netflix denied any speculation or reports that Season 3 would be filmed in conjunction with Season 2.
The rumors remained quiet until late November 2024, when YouTuber CeralKillerz attended Vienna Comic-Con, where we learned that Netflix is aiming for a Christmas 2025 release for the second season. Additionally, actor Vincent Regan also speculated about the future of the show. Here is the full quote:
“I am back from South Africa now. I’m done filming Season 2, whatever my character is doing in Season 2 is finished, and now they’re finishing filming in about a month, I think they’ll be finished filming. So I think the show will be ready for Netflix before Christmas next year. I hope. And I think they’ll start filming Season 3 soon, and I think they’re doing—I think it’s called the Alabasta story arc. I think it will take two seasons. From the designs, pictures I’ve seen, and when I was there there was some pretty fun stuff being shot there at the moment.
Fans who are part of McNew’s paid fan club have also said that The actor gave a hint He’ll be filming season 3 and a separate Japanese project late next year.

Fuel has been added to the fire overnight with a new list production weekly stating that a piece Has been renewed for season 3, with production scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2025. However, there are some errors in their list, and it is worth noting that ProductionWeekly often uses articles and other crowd-sourced methods to obtain its information other than filming grids that are unavailable to the public.
Given the budget of a show like this (which is reportedly over $18 million per episode), it makes sense to keep things moving. Filming back-to-back or as many seasons as possible can help reduce costs, and more importantly for you, the viewer, which means you get to watch the new season return to our screens. Not waiting exceptionally long for. We have seen in the past that barring a few rare cases, people often don’t bother to watch new episodes due to the long wait for seasons. Like we have seen with many shows too Diplomat, Avatar The Last Airbender, And others believe that Netflix is confident enough about a show’s ability to perform well in the future that new seasons are being planned in advance.
Of course, there’s plenty of opportunity to announce it between now and next Christmas a piece Filming of Season 3 is underway with some speculation that Jump Festa (which takes place in late December) will be the location to do so.
Where will it be a piece Will there be a season 3?
Given the confirmation that season 2 will end after the Drum Island Arc, the third season is expected to cover the events of the Alabasta Arc in its entirety. It will see Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates traveling to the land of Alabasta, where Mister 0, aka pirate chieftain Crocodile and leader of Baroque Works, has secretly plotted to cause famine and civil war in the country. It will be up to the Straw Hats to destroy the Crocodile and the Baroque Works, stop the civil war, and restore the King to his rightful place as ruler of Alabasta.
