Production
Development
In February 2025, the Writers Guild of America West website listed a third season of One Piece as a 2025-2026 production, with Matt Owens and Joseph E. Tracz returning as showrunners and executive producers.[9] However, Owens departed the series in March 2025 to focus on his mental health, with Tracz remaining to oversee post-production of the second season. The same day, it was reported that a third season had not yet been greenlit, though Owens' departure was not expected to affect any prospects of one being developed.[10] A third season was officially announced in August 2025, with series writer Ian Stokes serving as co-showrunner alongside Tracz.[11]
