Netflix is preparing for another massive treasure haul of One Piece episodes, and this one is monumental. The thrilling Zou Island Arc sails onto the platform on October 1, 2025, pushing the available episode count beyond 760. Currently, Netflix offers 750 episodes for streaming, but this new addition will expand the adventure even further. After previously securing arcs like Marineford, Fishman Island, Punk Hazard, Dressrosa, and Silver Mine, Netflix is proving its commitment to giving fans the grandest pirate journey yet.

Rather than presenting the Zou Island Arc as a single massive season, Netflix has cleverly divided it into three exciting parts. As of now, no official confirmation guarantees that all segments will drop in October 2025. Still, it would be shocking if only the first part arrived. Fans are eagerly anticipating a full three-part release, making this moment one of the most thrilling updates yet. The excitement becomes threefold as the third season of One Piece live-adaptation is also in works, with Season 2 on the horizon.
New legends stir on the horizon, and familiar sails may return to clash or unite. One Piece season 3 teases shocking reunions, fierce rivalries, and alliances that could reshape the Grand Line forever.
One Piece season 3: Fresh faces and fierce rivalries await
Although Netflix has revealed no official details about the cast of One Piece season 3, it seems almost certain that the beloved ensemble from seasons 1 and 2 will return to steer the saga forward. Leading the charge is Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, supported by Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero, and Taz Skylar. Season 2, arriving next year, introduces David Dastmalchian, Charithra Chandran, Katey Sagal, Sendhil Ramamurthy, and Joe Manganiello. While season 3’s plot remains unconfirmed, upcoming arcs suggest thrilling adventures and explosive character dynamics ahead.

One Piece season 3 remains without a confirmed release date, as Netflix has only revealed a 2026 launch window for season 2, leaving fans uncertain about the next chapter’s arrival. Production for season 3 will begin later this year in Cape Town, South Africa, with Ian Stokes joining Joe Tracz as co-showrunner following Matt Owens’ departure. Tracz, already overseeing post-production for season 2, is steering the project forward. As Netflix faces a loss on One Piece, the new episode drop for the anime is keeping fans on the edge of their seats.
