The third season of One Piece has officially entered production. Netflix has shown immense faith in the series by confirming Season 3 even before the release of Season 2.
Monkey D. Luffy has gathered his crew and fought several battles in the first two seasons. His dream is to be the King of Pirates. The sections below outline the expected release schedule for Season 3, along with other key details.
The first season of One Piece premiered in 2023, and after a long hiatus, the second season of the show premiered in March 2026. According to reports, the third season of the show is set to premiere in the middle of 2027.
The timeline makes sense given the level of production that goes into the show, although there has yet to be an official release date announced. The show heavily uses computer-generated imagery (CGI) and other aspects of post-production, ranging from intense action to bizarre powers of the Devil Fruits.
