Returning cast members for Season 3 also include Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday, Mikaela Hoover as Tony Tony Chopper, Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0, Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday, and Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefartari Cobra.

Season 2 of One Piece was released on March 10, 2026, and it consisted of 16 episodes. The new episodes received a remarkable 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes from critics, with a 95% audience score, highlighting the show’s growing popularity and critical acclaim.

Critics have praised the series, noting, “Even after an excellent first season, One Piece Season 2 feels like a wildly impressive level-up in many respects.” They also remarked, “For new viewers, it adds depth.
