The One Piece Live Action's success surprised many when the first season dropped in 2023. Anime live actions tend to not do so well, and by now, have gained a bad reputation due to the many failed attempts to get the adaptation just right. However, the One Piece Live Action series was very well received by many, so much so that it is getting a second season, which is set to be released in 2026.
The One Piece Live-Action Series Has to Reach This Saga From the Manga
With the success of Netflix’s One Piece, fans might see this iconic saga recreated. Here’s why it should be shown in full live-action glory.
As far as One Piece Live Action Season 2 is concerned, fans didn't get a proper look at scenes from the season itself, but one big thing that everyone was looking forward to was the reveal of Chopper, the next Straw Hat in line. Chopper's design for One Piece Live Action has finally been revealed, and fans are already excited to welcome the reindeer to the family.

Netflix's Tudum Delivers The First Look At The Straw Hat Doctor
One Piece fans have been awaiting new information about the anticipated One Piece Live Action season 2, especially after the huge success of the first season.
With the story now headed into the Grand Line, fans know that the sea is going to be more treacherous than ever before, and at the same time, the need for very skilled crewmates is high. Tony Tony Chopper, the doctor of the Straw Hat Pirates, will finally join the Straw Hat Pirates in the upcoming One Piece Live Action season 2, as was revealed in the newest trailer.
Fans can check out this new trailer right here, as posted by the official account of the series:
Chopper will be brought to life with CGI, and he will be voiced by the voice actress Mikaela Hoover.
His character design for One Piece Live Action Season 2 has received a lot of mixed reviews from fans, with some liking it, while others criticizing how he looks. Nevertheless, this next Straw Hat Pirate has finally been revealed, and it’s definitely exciting news.
One Piece Live Action Season 2 Gets A New Release Date Window
One Piece Live Action Season 2 Will Be Released in 2026
Another major update the series received is a release date window for the second season. Until now, fans didn’t exactly know when to expect One Piece Live Action Season 2. Most fans were under the impression that it would drop later this year. Unfortunately, fans were given bad news in this regard, as One Piece Live Action Season 2 is now officially confirmed to be released in 2026. It’s still a bit vague, as only the year is known for now, but it’s better than nothing.
One Piece Live Action Gives A Massive Boost To Manga Sales
The One Piece Live Action succeeded in bringing in new fans and manga sales.
Some fans have expressed disappointment with this release date, as this would mean almost a 3-year gap between the first and second seasons. The second season will not even cover the Arabasta arc, so this is definitely a concern for fans as it could mean another 3 years for the second half of the Arabasta Saga.
