While we wait for more info on Season 2 of Netflix’s One Piece, it appears there’s considerably more of the Straw Hats on the way, as one of the stars has teased that Season 3 is already greenlit.
Netflix’s One Piece live-action series managed to trump widespread skepticism by actually being quite good. The TV show captured the playfulness of the anime and Eiichiro Oda’s manga, making for a surprisingly charming watch.
One Piece Season 2 was confirmed in short order. As those episodes come together, Brashaad Mayweather, the actor behind Patty on the series, offhandedly mentioned that Season 3 is in the works, too.
“They’re filming two seasons, Season 2 and Season 3, starting soon,” the actor says, in a clip posted by OPLA News.
Brashaad Mayweather, who played Patty in S1, mentioned in an interview that One Piece is filming seasons 2 and 3 back to back.•Don’t get your hopes up just yet, Netflix typically makes official announcements for renewals, and there’s no confirmation of this news at the moment! https://t.co/zcAfOxiz9z pic.twitter.com/ahPIMFpHp3

The account warns nobody “believe it immediately”, as he could have his wires crossed. However, he sounds quite sure, and mentions it in context of filming a flashback scene with Patty that he hopes makes the final cut between the two seasons.

Currently, only One Piece Season 2 is confirmed, with filming due to start this month, June 2024. There’s a non-zero chance the season is being broken up into two parts, and that’s what Mayweather is referencing.
That’s a common release strategy on Netflix. Cobra Kai, Stranger Things, Emily in Paris, The Witcher, and more have gotten that treatment at one point or another, so it stands that One Piece might as well.
One Piece was a genuine smash hit for the platform, going straight to the number one spot in TV when it released, amassing almost 40 million hours watched in the first two weeks. Luckily for newly converted fans, one of the best anime ever awaits them once they’re done the first season, with hundreds of episodes and chapters of manga to dive into.
