One Piece Season 2 Trailer Finally Unveils Fan-Favorite Nico Robin

All right, One Piece fans: Netflix just dropped a new trailer for Season 2 of their live-action adaptation, and there are some things you should know—regardless of whether you’re religiously following the manga, obsessively rewatching the anime, or just here for the pirate spectacle. Let me walk you through what’s up, because they’re packing a ton of fan-bait into this next batch of episodes.

First things first: When are we getting more Luffy?

Season 2 is officially landing on Netflix on March 10, 2026. Yes, you read that right—2026. Absolutely bonkers how far ahead they’re teasing us, but hey, at least you can start planning your rewatch (or, you know, finally catch up if you’re new to the whole Straw Hat crew thing).

What’s new in the trailer?

Here’s the headline: The Straw Hat Pirates have set sail for the Grand Line, which in the One Piece universe is basically the ocean version of Indiana Jones meets Mad Max—wild, weird, and loaded with danger (not to mention weird hats and stranger powers). And, yes, we finally get a taste of some highly anticipated faces making their live-action debut.

The main threat this time? The Baroque Works syndicate. That’s a shadowy assassin organization led by the villainous Mr. 0, who manga fans know better as Crocodile. The trailer makes it super clear: these are not pirates you want crashing your tea party.

Who’s playing who? Here’s your new (and returning) cast rundown:

• Lera Abova as Miss All Sunday/Nico Robin (yep, the long-awaited Nico Robin is finally here)
• Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday/Princess Vivi
• David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3
• Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5
• Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine
• Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9
• Sophia Ann Caruso as Miss Goldenweek
• Plus returning favorites: Iñaki Godoy as Luffy, Mackenyu as Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.
• Other big debuts: Mikaela Hoover showing up as Tony Tony Chopper (can’t wait to see how they pull that off), Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha, Callum Kerr as Smoker, Julia Rehwald as Tashigi, Rigo Sanchez as Monkey D. Dragon, and Joe Manganiello as Crocodile himself.

The devil (fruit) is in the details

The trailer doesn’t just roll out the casting—it actually shows off bits of everyone’s abilities. Nico Robin’s powers in particular get a highlight, including some first encounters between her and the Straw Hat crew. And if you’re the type who likes to speculate about CGI quality, there’s plenty here to analyze frame-by-frame.

Behind the scenes, things are shifting too

The creative team’s got some new (yet familiar) faces: Steven Maeda and Matt Owens are back as writers and executive producers, but for Season 2, Matt Owens and Joe Tracz are taking over as showrunners. That usually means some shifts in tone or pacing, so watch for that.

Looking even further ahead…

Here’s a bit of classic Netflix move: Season 2 hasn’t even premiered yet, and they’ve already locked in a Season 3. Wild, but also strangely reassuring if you’re invested. Oh, and a notable bit of casting for the future—Xolo Maridueña (yep, from Cobra Kai) is officially set to play Portgas D. Ace. If you know, you know.

'In Season 2, Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line – a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn. As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.'

So there you have it: a massive villain shake-up, a bunch of big new casting swings, and some truly ambitious CGI to look forward to (I’m bracing myself for how they’re going to handle Chopper). We’ve got a long wait until 2026, but at least there’ll be plenty to rewatch—and speculate about—in the meantime.
