Time is running out for the One Piece live-action team because there is a lot of story left to adapt. The gap between the first two seasons was long, almost three years, because of strikes and delays. The team cannot keep moving at that pace, so they have started working faster.
Netflix confirmed that Season 3 is already in production, even before Season 2 has premiered. The main cast is being revealed, including Cole Escola as Bon Clay and Xolo Maridueña as Ace.
The production team shared an image of the Season 3 script with a desert, a knife, a skull, and a log pose. This suggests the upcoming Arabasta arc will be adapted. The crew will now be working full speed on Season 3, and we can expect more updates once Season 2 drops next year.
Since production has started early, Season 3 might arrive sooner than Season 2. Fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming chapters of this live-action adventure.
