‘One Piece’ Season 3 Starts Production; Mikaela Hoover, Joe Manganiello, Lera Abova, Sendhil Ramamurthy Promoted to Series Regulars

Netflix has officially begun production on the third season of its live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's beloved manga and anime series "One Piece". The production is currently underway in Cape Town, South Africa.

The highly anticipated show has been renewed ahead of the Season 2 premiere, which is set to air on March 10, 2026. Fans can look forward to more action-packed adventures as the Straw Hat Pirates navigate the treacherous waters of the Grand Line in search of the legendary One Piece treasure.

In a welcome move, several cast members from Season 2 have been promoted to series regular status for Season 3. These include Mikaela Hoover as Chopper, Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0, Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday, and Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefartari Cobra. The show's talented ensemble cast also includes returning stars Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero, Taz Skylar, and newcomers Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday, Cole Escola as Bon Clay, and Xolo Maridueña as Portgas D. Ace.

With Matt Owns and Joe Tracz at the helm as showrunners, writers, and executive producers for Season 3, fans can expect even more thrilling adventures to unfold. The new creative team is joined by veteran producer Eiichiro Oda, who created the original manga series, alongside other seasoned producers Marty Adelstein, Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Christoph Schrewe, and Steven Maeda.

The third season promises to be just as epic as its predecessors, with the Straw Hats facing even greater challenges and adversaries on their quest for One Piece. As they navigate the unpredictable realm of the Grand Line, fans can expect a wealth of new characters, plot twists, and heart-pumping action sequences.
