The show became one of the biggest hits on Netflix in 2023.
Season 2 was announced soon after. And while we don't have a Season 2 release date yet, we now have an update about Season 3.
, who is playing Crocodile aka Mr. 0, in the second season of the adaptation, was in an interview with Cinemablend to promote the Netflix film Nonnas. In the interview, he was asked if he could give an update about the upcoming season.
One Piece live action Season 3 filming to start later this year
The actor revealed, 'We've taken a break between Season 2 and Season 3.
So yeah, I'll be heading back later on this year, and we'll be working on the next part of the story. So that's about all I can say.'
While Netflix still hasn't announced Season 3 officially, this comment from Manganiello confirms the earlier comments made by his colleague Brashaad Mayweather. Last year, Mayweather, who portrays Patty in Season 1 of the adaptation, was in an interview at What's Popping! with Bruce Crossey.
At the end of the interview he had this to say 'And hopefully, you know, there's a flashback scene with Patty. We'll see if they flash back to it because they're seasons, seasons 2 and 3 back-to-back starting soon, so we'll see what happens.'
While many fans were excited hearing this a lot of people also doubted these words. Because considering Mayweather is not returning for Season 2 or Season 3, how would he have this information.

Also Netflix usually announces this stuff prior to it happening.
But this is a smart move by Netflix as this story is so long you can't film a season every 2-3 years, these actors will age out by season 4 and we won't have covered any ground truly by then.
