Summary
Fans are already very excited about the next season of Netflix’sOne Piece. However, one of the stars subtly teased that the series might return for two more seasons after Season 2.
The live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s hit manga series,One Piece, hit Netflix in August 2023. It received critical acclaim from fans and critics. Due to its success, the streaming giant renewed the show for a second season just two weeks after its premiere.One PieceSeason 2 is expected to return next year, but there has yet to be an official release date. However, one of the stars seemingly suggested that more seasons could be expected from the series.
Vincent Regan, who plays Vice Admiral Garp on the show, shared some details about his filming experience for the upcomingOne PieceSeason 2and hinted that there could be third and fourth seasons to capture the whole storyline that had been planned. , “I guess they’ll start filming season 3 pretty soon, and I think they are doing- I think it’s called the Albasta story arc. I think it’s going to take two seasons,” Regan said at Vienna Comic-Con (via Comicbook). He also teased some exciting things that fans can expect when the series returns. “What I’ve seen of the designs, drawings, and when I was there, there was some really fun stuff being shot there at the moment,” he added.
That’s not all, Regan shared when fans can expectOne PieceSeason 2. At the time of the conference, Regan just finished filming his part and if they followed the timeline, according to him, the production might be done before Christmas 2025. He suggested that Netflix might drop the anticipated second season next holiday. “I’ve come back from South Africa now. I’ve filmed season 2, everything my character is doing in season 2 is finished, and now they are finishing in about a month, I think they’ll finish filming. So I think the show will be ready for Netflix before Christmas next year,” he explained.
There is no doubt that many are waiting forOne PieceSeason 2 and Regan hinting that the series could return for more seasons is excellent news. The first season was so impressive that many can’t get enough of the show. There are also rumors that the next season will have fewer episodes, suggesting thatOne Piececould indeed return for another season. However, since there are no official words from Netflix about Seasons 3 and 4, one should take Regan’s words with a grain of salt.
Per Regan,One PieceSeason 2 aims for a Christmas 2025 release. That means fans must wait over a year to witness Luffy and his friends' next adventure. That’s a long wait, but not that lengthy compared to other series that could take three years or more to return.Squid Game, for instance, debuted on Netflix in September 2021. However,Squid GameSeason 2will premiere on July 29, 2025. There’s a three-year gap between the two seasons. Hence, if the second season ofOne Piecearrives in 2025, then it’s not really a long wait and will be a great holiday treat. Among the things fans are looking forward to seeing isJoe Manganiello’s portrayal of Crocodile.
