One Piece Live Action Season 2 Is Now No. 1 in the World on Netflix — 100% on Rotten Tomatoes
One Piece live action Season 2, officially titled Into the Grand Line, is now streaming on Netflix and breaking records at a breathtaking pace. Released on March 10, 2026, the eight-episode season has already claimed the No. 1 spot in 43 countries worldwide and landed a perfect 100% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes — making it one of the most acclaimed live-action adaptations in the history of streaming television.
One Piece Season 2 Release Time and Where to Watch
One Piece Season 2 released on Netflix at 12:00 AM PT — that is 3:00 AM ET — on March 10, 2026. All eight episodes dropped at the same time worldwide, so fans everywhere could binge together on day one. Any active Netflix subscription gives access to all eight episodes immediately.
For the first time, Netflix screened the first two episodes in theaters across North America, with showings beginning at 6:00 PM local time on March 10 to coincide with the global Netflix premiere.
One Piece Season 2 Cast: Returning and New Faces
The full Straw Hat crew returns intact. Iñaki Godoy leads the cast as Monkey D. Luffy, alongside Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Taz Skylar as Sanji, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Emily Rudd as Nami.
The One Piece Season 2 cast expands dramatically with a stacked roster of new additions. New baddies called the Baroque Works operate in male-female pair teams with powers as ostentatious as their outfits, brought to life by Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5, Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday, and Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine, among others. Katey Sagal joins as Dr. Kureha, Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0, and David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3.
100% on Rotten Tomatoes — Critics Are Stunned
The critical response to One Piece live action Season 2 is historic. On Rotten Tomatoes, the new season pulled in a 100% rating from 19 reviews — a decisive improvement over the 86% the first season earned. On Metacritic, it sits at 80/100, a major jump from the 67/100 of Season 1 and on par with prestige titles like The White Lotus and Slow Horses. The audience response sits at around 99%.
Critics called it bigger, better, and more ambitious in almost every way than its freshman voyage, praising its effective expansion of the story's world, fun characters, and infectious energy.
Mackenyu and Skylar are singled out as standouts, with Zoro's third-episode battle against 100 Baroque Works agents described as the show's biggest action set piece yet — a Kill Bill-style roaring rampage through an enormous tavern set.
One Piece Season 2 Is No. 1 in the World
One Piece has become the No. 1 show in the world on Netflix following the release of Season 2. According to data from March 11, 2026, the show is now No. 1 in 43 countries including Brazil, France, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, and Mexico. As of writing, the show is No. 2 in the United States and No. 5 in Japan.
One Piece Season 3: Already in Production
Netflix greenlit One Piece Season 3 well before Season 2 even aired, and cameras are already rolling. Season 3 will complete the climactic Alabasta Arc, with Ian Stokes joining Joe Tracz as co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer. Tracz stepped up to solo showrunner status after co-showrunner Matt Owens stepped down in March 2025 for health reasons.
One Piece Season 2 is streaming now, exclusively on Netflix.
