Tired of waiting for a transponder snail to bring you the latest on ONE PIECE Season 2? We’ve got you covered.

All eight episodes of the adventure series’ second season, titled ONE PIECE: Into the Grand Line, are available to stream on Netflix right now. Get the scoop on the new locations here

In August, during the annual ONE PIECE Day celebration, Netflix debuted a first look at what’s in store for our favorite crew. Plus, the live-action series was renewed for Season 3.

With Gold Roger’s (Michael Dorman) mysterious treasure, the One Piece, still up for grabs, Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), Nami (Emily Rudd), Zoro (Mackenyu), Sanji (Taz Skylar), and Usopp (Jacob Romero) are in for an epic adventure as they sail toward the Grand Line. 

Before you take to the seas with the Straw Hats, here’s everything you need to know about ONE PIECE Season 2, including production updates, letters from manga series creator Eiichiro Oda, major casting news, and tons of behind-the-scenes peeks.

What is ONE PIECE Season 2 about?

Season 2 will unleash “fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet,” according to the official synopsis. “Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line — a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn. As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.”

ONE PIECE Season 2 co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer Matt Owens revealed in a previous conversation with Tudum that Dr. Kureha will definitely be part of Season 2. “When the Season 2 writers room got together, we knew how far we were going to get and that this character Dr. Kureha was going to be a big part of the season.”

Season 2 will introduce viewers to some other fan favorites next season, including the beloved reindeer-boy hybrid Tony Tony Chopper. Plus, the Straw Hats are going to be in the Grand Line — “The place that we were talking about all of Season 1, we’re in it now,” said Owens.

During production, Oda teased that the “story will cover Loguetown, Reverse Mountain (Twin Cape), Whisky Peak, Little Island, and Drum Island.” See his full statement below.

“My own casting selections were made from Japan over photos and videos, but seeing them all in person convinced me: They were absolutely the perfect choice!” Oda wrote in a letter from his visit, adding that the vibe on set “was just the best!”
