Netflix has released an exciting new trailer for One Piece Season 2, titled Into the Grand Line, giving fans their best look yet at the Straw Hat Pirates’ next adventure. The season is set to premiere worldwide on March 10, 2026. The latest preview introduces a dangerous new group of villains and offers a glimpse of the highly anticipated live-action debut of fan-favorite character Tony Tony Chopper.
The Grand Line Adventure Begins March 10
The new season finds Monkey D. Luffy (Iรฑaki Godoy) and his crew finally entering the legendary Grand Line, a treacherous stretch of sea they have been seeking since the series began. According to the official description, the crew will face “fiercer adversaries and the most perilous quests yet” as they search for the world’s greatest treasure.
Season 2 will adapt several key story arcs from the original manga, including Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island. This part of the story covers manga chapters 96 through 154. The season has completed filming in South Africa and will consist of eight episodes.
Meet the New Villains: Baroque Works
The central threat of the new season is Baroque Works, a secret society of assassins. The new trailer, titled “Rise of the Baroques,” showcases several key members of this criminal organization who will challenge Luffy and his friends.
The revealed Baroque Works agents include:
- Lera Abova as Miss All-Sunday (Nico Robin)
- Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday
- David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3
- Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5
- Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine
- Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9
- Sophia Anne Caruso as Miss Goldenweek
In the trailer, Miss All-Sunday delivers a warning to Luffy, stating, “You might think you’re unstoppable, but your friends aren’t made of rubber”.
Tony Tony Chopper Joins the Crew
A major highlight of the upcoming season is the introduction of Tony Tony Chopper, the crew’s doctor who is a reindeer with the ability to transform and speak. The character is brought to life through a combination of performance and visual effects, with Mikaela Hoover providing the voice and facial capture.
Hoover shared her excitement about portraying the character, noting his complex personality. “What excited me about playing Chopper is the tug of war between his standoffishness and his huge heart,” she said. “He tries so hard to hide his emotions and put on a tough exterior, but underneath, he’s a big softy, and his love can’t help but come out”.
Series creator Eiichiro Oda also expressed his enthusiasm for Chopper’s live-action debut. In a social media post, Oda praised the team’s work, calling the character “our weird talking animal” and highlighting the extensive effort put into his design, fur, expressions, and voice.
A Greatly Expanded Cast for New Adventures
Beyond Baroque Works and Chopper, Season 2 features a significant expansion of the live-action world with over 30 new cast members.
Notable new additions include:
- Joe Manganiello as the mysterious Mr. 0.
- Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, a doctor living on Drum Island.
- Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertari Cobra.
- Callum Kerr as Marine Captain Smoker, and Julia Rehwald as his subordinate Tashigi.
- Clive Russell as Crocus, the lighthouse keeper at the entrance to the Grand Line.
