A bit about the series: Based on Eiichiro Oda’s legendary manga and anime, One Piece follows the fearless Monkey D. Luffy and his crew as they set sail to find the mythical treasure, One Piece, aiming to claim the title of King of the Pirates.
The announcement of Tony Tony Chopper’s casting was a highlight at Netflix’s Tudum live event, where Godoy, Rudd, Mackenyu, and Skylar also shared exciting updates. Fans can look forward to Season 2 arriving in 2026.
The series is a collaborative effort, created alongside the original One Piece anime studio Shueisha and produced by Tomorrow Studios, in partnership with ITV Studios and Netflix.
Stay tuned—this next chapter of One Piece promises even more adventure, heart, and of course, adorable moments with Tony Tony Chopper!
