The Straw Hats Are Officially Diving Into the Grand Line in Season 2
We've all been buzzing about what's next for Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and his trusty Straw Hat Pirates after their incredible first season run. Well, get ready for some seriously big news because Netflix is pulling out all the stops for One Piece Season 2! The streaming giant has given us an exclusive first look at some massive new characters and confirmed that our beloved crew is finally heading into the legendary Grand Line.
If you're caught up with the first season, you know Luffy gathered his core crew — Zoro (Mackenyu), Nami (Emily Rudd), Usopp (Jacob Romero Gibson), and Sanji (Taz Skylar) — and was all set to tackle the ultimate pirate route. Season 2, officially titled One Piece: Into the Grand Line, is where the real adventure kicks off. We're talking about a world of dangerous new islands, formidable foes, and, of course, some truly unforgettable allies.
Meet Brogy and Dorry: The Legendary Giants Making Their Live-Action Debut
One of the biggest — literally! — reveals for Season 2 is the introduction of the iconic giants, Brogy and Dorry. These two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates are legendary figures from the manga's Little Garden arc, and they're about to make a huge splash in live-action. Brogy will be played by Brendan Murray, known for his work in 24 Hours to Live and Raised by Wolves, while Werner Coetser, celebrated for the soap opera 7de Laan, takes on the role of Dorry.
For those who followed the original story, you'll remember Luffy and his crew first stumbled upon these massive warriors on Little Garden, an island untouched since the age of dinosaurs. Brogy and Dorry were locked in a century-long feud over a trivial matter — the size of a fish! It was only with the Straw Hats' arrival that these former best friends finally reconciled. Expect a mix of epic battles, unwavering honor, and plenty of heart from these two.
Bringing these colossal characters to life shows that Netflix isn't shy about the CGI budget for One Piece Season 2. And the actors are definitely feeling the scale of it all.
"I've always been blessed to have people to look up to in my life, but this really took it to a whole new level,"
— Jacob Romero Gibson (Usopp) to TheWrap, on acting with giants.
"[It was] definitely a challenging technical feat to still create dynamic scenes while acting to the sky, but the production always finds unbelievably skilled ways to tackle and ground the world for us as performers."
Gibson even shared a fun tidbit about filming: "We all took turns sitting in it," he joked about eating from a giant spoon on set! It sounds like the set was as wild and wonderful as the island itself.
Exclusive Look at All Eight Episode Titles for One Piece Season 2
We now have a full breakdown of all eight episode titles for One Piece Season 2, and they're a fun nod to classic movie references! This is a cool change from Season 1, which mainly drew inspiration directly from manga chapter titles. These new titles not only hint at the exciting arcs ahead but also show off the crew's playful spirit.
Here’s what you can expect, episode by episode, as the Straw Hats embark on their Grand Line journey:
- Episode 1: "The Beginning of the End"
- This episode refers to Loguetown, the final stop before pirates truly enter the Grand Line, famously known as the place where Gold Roger was executed and declared the existence of the One Piece.
- Episode 2: "Good Whale Hunting"
- Get ready for the tear-jerking encounter with Laboon, the giant whale, near Reverse Mountain.
- Episode 3: "Whiskey Business"
- The crew will likely navigate the mysterious Whiskey Peak arc, full of surprising twists and turns.
- Episode 4: "Big Trouble in Little Garden"
- This title, a clear homage to "Big Trouble in Little China," marks the beginning of the Little Garden arc, where Luffy and friends meet Brogy and Dorry.
- Episode 5: "Wax On, Wax Off"
- Another movie reference, this time to "The Karate Kid," suggesting more adventures on Little Garden and perhaps some sticky situations with Baroque Works.
- Episode 6: "Nami Deerest"
- This title hints at the emotional Drum Island arc, which heavily features Nami's illness and the search for a doctor.
- Episode 7: "Deer and Loathing in Drum Kingdom"
- Continuing the Drum Island storyline, this title (a nod to "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas") prepares us for more of this icy kingdom's challenges.
- Episode 8: "Reindeer Shames"
- The final episode title for the season is a clever play on "Reefer Madness" and will undoubtedly delve into the beloved backstory of Tony Tony Chopper!
It's clear from these titles that Season 2 will cover some major ground, from Loguetown and Reverse Mountain to Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and the emotional Drum Island arc. Fans can look forward to seeing several key manga storylines brought to life!
A Cast of Beloved Characters: Returning Faces and Exciting New Additions
The core Straw Hat crew is back, with Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. But they're far from alone in this next chapter!
Season 2 is jam-packed with new faces, bringing fan-favorite characters to life. Perhaps the most anticipated addition is Tony Tony Chopper, the adorable reindeer doctor, who will be voiced by Mikaela Hoover (known from Superman). One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda himself emphasized Chopper's importance:
"The key to Season 2 is, of course, our weird talking animal. After extensive trial and refinement by the entire team, the day has come to finally unveil him!! From his form and furs to his expressions and voice, and even lighting and gravity simulation — a world-class team brought their skills together in bringing Tony Tony Chopper to life, and now he's ready to be introduced to the world!!"
— Eiichiro Oda, One Piece Creator
Beyond Chopper and the giants Brogy and Dorry, a slew of other iconic characters are joining the adventure. Here’s a quick look at some of the new cast members:

Behind the Scenes: The Talented Crew Guiding the Grand Line Journey
The success of One Piece Season 1, which became Netflix's #1 English-language series in Japan and topped the Global Top 10 for eight weeks (amassing nearly 100 million views!), is a testament to the dedicated team behind it. Season 2 sees Matt Owens and Joe Tracz stepping up as co-showrunners, writers, and executive producers.
Eiichiro Oda continues his active involvement as an executive producer, ensuring the live-action adaptation stays true to the spirit of his beloved manga. Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements for Tomorrow Studios, along with Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Christoph Schrewe, and Steven Maeda, round out the executive production team.
Good news for the future too: Season 3 is already confirmed and set to begin production soon in Cape Town, with Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes taking the reins as co-showrunners. This means plenty more One Piece adventures are on the horizon!
What to Expect from Netflix's One Piece: Into the Grand Line
Season 2 is poised to deepen the Straw Hat Pirates' bond as they face fiercer adversaries and more perilous quests. The Little Garden arc promises not only the introduction of Brogy and Dorry but also an expansive, prehistoric setting filled with ancient ruins and dinosaurs. The photos and teasers released by Netflix give us a peek at this lush environment, with Dorry and Brogy in a standoff, Luffy exploring curiously, and Usopp, predictably, running away!
The upcoming arcs — Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and Drum Island — will bring new challenges, emotional storylines (especially with Chopper's backstory), and dynamic battles. The production is clearly committed to delivering cinematic scope and character-driven storytelling, expanding the world introduced in Season 1.
While an exact release date for 2026 hasn't been announced, the steady stream of updates and the early Season 3 renewal show just how much faith Netflix has in this global phenomenon. So, get ready to dive headfirst into the Grand Line; it’s going to be a wild ride!
