Netflix has greenlit One Piece Season 2. One Piece follows Monkey D. Luffy's quest for the legendary treasure, staying true to the original manga and anime. Season 2 will explore the Baroque Works arc. It is expected to premiere in 2025.
Season 2 is expected to cover the Arabasta Saga, the Straw Hat Pirates' first adventure in the Grand Line, following the East Blue Saga from Season 1, potentially including Reverse Mountain, Little Garden, and Drum Island arcs.
The first season received mixed reactions but was a success, leading to a quick renewal for Season 2, though a release date is not set. Matt Owens and Joe Tracz are co-showrunners, with Tracz taking over as the new showrunner for Season 2.
New cast additions for Season 2 include Clive Russell as Crocus, David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine, Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5, Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9, Brendan Murray as Brogy, and Werner Coetser as Dorry.
Baroque Works, led by Mr. 0 (Crocodile), is a dangerous criminal syndicate with members possessing unique abilities like exploding powers and weight-changing skills, challenging the Straw Hat Pirates.
While Jamie Lee Curtis was rumored to join as Dr. Kureha, her involvement looks unlikely due to her commitment to Freaky Friday 2, though nothing has been officially confirmed.
Season 2 is expected to introduce Tony Tony Chopper, the Straw Hats' transformative reindeer doctor.
The Drum Island arc and parts of the Arabasta arc, including Nefeltari Vivi and Baroque Works members like Mr. 3, Miss Valentine, and Mr. 5, are also expected to be featured in Season 2.
The main cast members, including Luffy and the Straw Hats, will return for Season 2, but specific plot points have not been announced.
