Netflix’s One Piece Charts Long Run as Season 3 Heads to Alabasta

The team is mapping years of story with Eiichiro Oda’s direct oversight, signaling an unusual long-term bet for a costly series.

Overview

  • Producers Becky Clements and Joe Tracz say the live-action plan spans at least eight seasons, with hopes to reach 10 or more.
  • Netflix’s Tudum confirms Season 3 will adapt the Alabasta arc after the crew agrees to help Princess Vivi.
  • Co-showrunner Joe Tracz says Karoo, Vivi’s fan-favorite pet, will appear in Season 3 after being cut from early Season 2 drafts.
  • Gizmodo and ComicBook.com report the series will return with new episodes in 2027, with an exact date to be announced later.
  • The creators stress they are adapting Eiichiro Oda’s manga rather than the anime, with Oda reviewing outlines, scripts, casting, and edits.
