Netflix\u2019s live-action One Piece<\/em> Season 3<\/strong> (officially titled One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta<\/em>) is in production and set to premiere in 2027<\/strong>. No exact release date has been announced yet.<\/p>\n

Netflix\u2019s One Piece Season 3: Release Date<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Netflix renewed the series for Season 3 in August 2025 (well before Season 2 premiered on March 10, 2026).<\/li>\n
  • Filming began in late November 2025 (or around that time) in Cape Town, South Africa, and is ongoing as of recent reports (potentially wrapping around mid-2026).<\/li>\n
  • A 2027 release is expected, likely mid-to-late in the year, following the pattern from previous seasons (filming-to-release gap was over a year for Season 2).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    This is a shorter gap between seasons than Season 1 (2023) to Season 2 (2026), thanks to overlapping or back-to-back production elements.<\/p>\n
