The Straw Hat crew is preparing to set sail once again. Season 2 of One Piece, subtitled Into the Grand Line, is unveiled through a first trailer released by Netflix. The platform confirms a release scheduled for March 2026 and accompanies the announcement with a series of fan-focused events, including a stop in Brussels during Made in Asia.
After a first season that won over a global audience, the live-action adaptation of the cult manga is entering a decisive phase. Luffy and his companions leave the relatively familiar waters of East Blue to venture into the fearsome Grand Line, a mythical area of the series’ universe, known for its dangers and unpredictable encounters.
A rise in intensity ahead
The footage revealed in the trailer sets the tone: new territories, more threatening adversaries, and higher stakes. Season 2 will notably introduce several Devil Fruit users, a race of giants never before seen on screen, as well as striking new creatures. Action will take center stage, driven by choreographed fights and more ambitious visual work.
One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda made a point of accompanying this announcement with a message to fans:
“It’s almost ready! With Season 1, we faced the global question: ‘Is it really possible to adapt One Piece into live action?’ and the answer spoke for itself, reaching the Top 10 in 93 countries and territories, and number one in 46 of them!”
With the exceptional production team that delivered these brilliant results, we present Season 2, which will set sail for the Grand Line, the most fearsome sea in the world. In other words, all the conventions established in Season 1 will be turned upside down.
A parade of Devil Fruit users, a race of giants never seen before, adorable creatures, impactful action, and breathtaking visual effects: this season is packed with standout moments! Immerse yourself in a unique live-action experience. May this series reach all the adventurous spirits around the world! Just over a month until we set sail. Get ready!
A special stop at Made in Asia in Brussels
As part of the promotion for this new season, Netflix is organizing a worldwide tour called Journey to the Grand Line. For Belgium, there is only one date to remember: Brussels, from February 27 to March 1, during the Made in Asia convention.
Visitors will be able to enjoy special activities tied to the series’ universe, designed as an immersive experience before officially entering the Grand Line. This Belgian stop is set to be a key moment for European fans, at the heart of an event that is already a major fixture in Asian pop culture.
New Faces and First Images
Netflix has also revealed a series of never-before-seen images highlighting the new characters of this season. Tony Tony Chopper appears for the first time, joining the crew as their doctor. Several major figures make their debut, including Miss All Sunday (Nico Robin), Mr. 3, and Miss Wednesday.
The Drum Island arc will be especially highlighted, featuring iconic characters such as Dr. Kureha, Dr. Hiriluk, and Wapol. Fans have also caught a glimpse of Laboon, the giant whale, a beloved figure for long-time readers and viewers.
With this second season, One Piece reaffirms its ambition: to expand its universe, deepen its storytelling, and unite a global community, with Brussels set to be one of the gathering points next spring.
