Netflix said the third season of its live-action One Piece series will be called The Battle of Alabasta and is set to arrive in 2027, setting the Straw Hat crew on course for a desert kingdom already coming apart under a hidden rebellion. The streamer also said the next chapter will follow Sir Crocodile and Baroque Works as they stoke the uprising from the shadows.
Joe Tracz, speaking on the new season, said the Alabasta saga is one of the best-loved stories in all of One Piece and called it a huge honor to bring to life. He added that season three builds on everything done before to tell a war story that is epic and emotional, spectacular and surprising, with fans headed to Alabasta where the stakes are high and the ducks are big.
The reveal lands after season two ended with Luffy and the Straw Hat crew heading for Alabasta, and it gives Netflix a clear path for the franchise after a run that has already turned strong. Season two debuted at No. 1 on the Netflix Global Top 10 list and currently holds a 100 percent critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, a combination that helps explain why the company is treating One Piece as a global phenomenon for the streamer.
Netflix is also broadening the world beyond the live-action series with Lego One Piece, a two-part animated special set to premiere on Sept. 29. Made with the Lego Group, Shueisha and Atomic, the special will retell the events of the first two live-action seasons in a comedic Lego style. The company also offered an update on the anime series The One Piece from Wit Studio, first announced in 2024 and now in production with Shueisha, Toei Animation and Fuji Television Network.
For fans, the roadmap is now fixed: a Lego retelling this month, an anime still in motion, and a live-action trip to Alabasta in 2027.
