Get ready, One Piece enthusiasts! The seas are restless and rumors from the Grand Line speak of something BIG approaching for ONE PIECE DAY! That's right, the much-anticipated trailer for the second season of the live-action One Piece series is expected to drop during the One Piece Day celebrations on the weekend of August 9-10, 2025.
The event, which will be held both physically at Tokyo Big Sight in Japan and online, has fans clearing their schedules in anticipation. The post caption reads, "The seas are restless and rumors from the Grand Line speak of something BIG approaching for ONE PIECE DAY!"
The trailer release during One Piece Day is considered a debut for promotional material ahead of the season launch. Though the exact release date for season 2 has not been officially confirmed, it is expected to premiere in 2026, with filming having occurred through early 2025. There is some discrepancy in sources about the exact year; one source suggests season 2 will premiere in 2025, but the majority indicate 2026 as the planned release window.
The second season of One Piece is expected to adapt the Loguetown arc (chapters 96-100), the Reverse Mountain arc (101-104), Whisky Peak (106-114), and Little Garden (115-129) from the original manga. Additionally, it has been revealed that the show will adapt the Drum Island arc.
The show has already cast some notable names for the second season. Sons of Anarchy's Katey Sagal has been cast as Dr. Kureha for the series. The Wheel of Time star Callum Kerr has been cast as Smoker, who appears in those chapters. The main cast includes Emily Rudd (Nami), Taz Skylar (Sanji), Inaki Godoy (Monkey D. Luffy), Mackenyu (Roronoa Zoro), and Jacob Romero (Usopp), all of whom can be seen aboard the Thousand Sunny ship in the first look image that was recently posted on Twitter.
This timing aims to build excitement well ahead of the official season 2 release on Netflix. It's the biggest One Piece announcement since the series revealed the first look at Tony Tony Chopper at Netflix Tudum 2025 in May.
