One Piece Live-Action Star Hints that Season 3 Is Already Underway

Netflix’s One Piece star Brashaad Mayweathermay may have hinted at a production schedule that could include filming the second and third seasons of the hit live-action adaptation consecutively. The success of One Piece live-action’s first season prompted the streaming giant to swiftly secure a renewal for the second season, and recent developments suggest that Luffy and the crew’s adventure might not stop there.

In a recent interview (via X), Mayweathermay talked about his character, Patty’s, future, saying:

Mayweathermay’s statement has stirred considerable cheer from fans, although Netflix has not officially confirmed a third season. The rumors around a potential third season follows the pattern of Netflix’s strategic decisions regarding successful series. Previously, the platform granted a double-season order to another live-action adaptation, Avatar: The Last Airbender, after the successful launch of its first book. Although this may suggest a precedent, Netflix’s official announcements have only confirmed the production of One Piece’s second season.

The first season of One Piece covered the East Blue saga, replicating the essence of the anime while introducing it to a broader set of viewers through its live-action format. The upcoming season will follow Luffy’s adventure in the Arabasta saga, promising an expansive scope of story from Drum Island to Loguetown.

“As a child, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to become a pirate by listening to the tales of the buccaneer “Red-Haired” Shanks. But Luffy’s life changed when he accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit and gained the power to stretch like rubber…at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, still vowing to become the king of the pirates, Luffy sets out on his adventure…one guy alone in a rowboat, in search of the legendary “One Piece,” said to be the greatest treasure in the world…”

Netflix and WIT Studio Set to Bring One Piece Remake

Netflix has another project in development with the franchise, the remake of the iconic series, titled The One Piece. This new venture comes even as the original anime series, based on Eiichiro Oda’s famed manga, continues its legendary run. This new adaptation will be helmed by WIT Studio, whose credits include critically acclaimed works like Attack on Titan and Spy x Family.

Netflix and WIT Studio shared their vision for The One Piece, aiming to create a unique take on the Straw Hat Pirates’ adventures. The studios will leverage cutting-edge visual technology to offer a new experience that remains true to the spirit of Oda’s work.

“With THE ONE PIECE, the committee aims to provide viewers with a fresh yet familiar experience, utilizing cutting-edge visual technology to reimagine Luffy’s adventures through the beloved East Blue saga.”
