A fantasy adventure titled ‘One Piece’ has just gotten a nod by Netflix for its renewal for another season.

One Piece
The series follows the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates as they explore the dangerous oceans, lands, and beyond in search of the “One Piece”, a fabled treasure that will make their captain, Monkey D. Luffy, “King of the Pirates”.
However the Marines are on their ship’s tail, and they are not the only crew searching for the One Piece. Armed with skills and an unbreakable friendship, the Straw Hats are ready for the journey and even more ready to fight for their dreams together.

What will happen in season 2?
At that pace, Season Two will most likely adapt the next arc of the story up to around Chapter 218. Next up for Luffy and friends is an island of giants, the search for a doctor to join the crew, and the fight against a criminal organization of bounty hunters threatening to destabilize the desert nation of Arabasta.
Release date
The release date for season 2 is likely between September 2024 and March 2025, depending on the resolution of ongoing strikes. The new season will feature both returning and new cast members, including introducing live-action Chopper.
