So without further ado, let’s dive into all the essential details about why the One Piece Season 3 release date might come sooner than anticipated.
What is the One Piece Season 3 release date estimate?

One Piece Season 3 news and updates
Since filming commenced relatively quickly, the gap between Seasons 2 and 3 might be shorter than the long wait the audience experienced between the first two seasons (via Radio Times).
The previous delay was partly due to the Hollywood labor strikes in 2023, which greatly hindered television and film production throughout the industry. But, based on its early start in filming, it is currently anticipated that One Piece’s third installment could debut in mid-to-late 2027, although an early 2028 release is also a possibility. Nevertheless, this timeline is still uncertain as Netflix has yet to provide an official release schedule.
According to Netflix Tudum, Season 3 will bring in some fresh faces. Xolo Maridueña is set to join the cast as Portgas D. Ace, and Cole Escola will take on the role of Bon Clay. Meanwhile, the remaining main members of the Straw Hat crew will reprise their roles.
