What’s Next for One Piece?

One Piece returned with the second season of the live-action series earlier this Spring, and a third season is now in the works for a release next year. That’s far from everything currently going on with the franchise as not only is Eiichiro Oda still releasing new chapters of the manga on a weekly basis, but the anime is now back in action this month with new episodes adapting the highly anticipated Elbaph Arc of the franchise. That’s still only scratching the surface.

Netflix is also currently working on a full One Piece remake anime series adapting everything from the very beginning with a new production studio and creative team. No release window or date has been announced for the remake as of this time, but Netflix is also releasing a LEGO animated special on September 29th. There’s also going to be a new spinoff special releasing later this Summer, so this collab with Popeyes is just another fun way to show off your One Piece love.
