Netflix has released the official trailer for Season 2 of the hit live-action series One Piece: On the Great Passage, giving fans a first look at the next chapter of the high seas adventure ahead of its March 10th premiere.
The trailer arrived with newly released images and a personal letter from author Eiichiro Oda expressing his excitement for the new season of the animated adaptation of the best-selling manga. Season 2 sees Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates adventure to the legendary Grand Line. The Grand Line is a treacherous sea filled with formidable enemies, strange islands, and high stakes in your quest for the world’s greatest treasures.
Alongside the trailer release, Netflix announced 13 global fan screenings and activations for “One Piece.” The event will run from February 23rd to mid-March in multiple cities including Mexico City, Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, Cape Town, Bangkok, and Rio de Janeiro.
The series, produced by Tomorrow Studios in partnership with Shueisha and Netflix, premiered in 2023 and spent eight weeks at number one on Netflix’s Global Top 10, reaching number one in over 75 countries. It is also the first English-language Netflix series to debut at number one in Japan.
Season 2 will be co-showrun by Matt Owens and Joe Trucks, and the ensemble cast will be expanded with Iñaki Godoy, Kensuke Mackenzie, Emily Ladd, Jacob Romero, and Taz Schuyler returning. Netflix has already renewed the series for season 3.

Pop superstar Pink will guest host a week of episodes on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” starting March 2 in honor of Women’s History Month.
According to the show, this week will focus on recognizing women who are “driving change, breaking down barriers and lifting each other up.” Episodes will feature surprise performances and conversations with pioneers in the entertainment industry and those working to make a difference in their communities.
“I’ve played in stadiums and danced on the sides of buildings, but joining my daughter Kelly Clarkson as guest host is a whole new feat,” Pink said in a statement. “Let’s celebrate women, joy, resilience, and whatever else comes our way.”
Clarkson added, “The only thing I regret about Pink hosting ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ for a week is that I won’t be able to be there to see her. I’ve been a fan for a long time and have always been inspired by her music and her personality. I love her.”
Pink previously appeared on the show’s “Songs & Stories” episode, where she performed her hits “Who Knew” and “What About Us” and told the stories behind her music.
Season 7 will be the final season of The Kelly Clarkson Show, following Clarkson’s decision to step back from work and prioritize her children following the death of her husband Brandon Blackstock in 2025.
The remainder of Season 7 will air as scheduled until fall 2026, and will feature Clarkson and several special guest hosts, which have yet to be announced.
