A Slumber Party with the Straw Hats
Netflix recently released a special teaser video that reunites our favorite crew—Monkey D.

The teaser, shared ahead of Netflix’s global fan event Tudum on May 31, 2025, shows the Straw Hats bonding over a cozy slumber party on the Going Merry. This heartwarming moment is a perfect reminder of the crew’s unbreakable bond, setting the stage for the challenges they’ll face in Season 2.
The teaser hints at the crew’s journey to the Grand Line, where new adventures and formidable foes await. Fans are speculating that this Tudum event might finally reveal the release date or even a first glimpse of the new season. Could we also see the debut of Tony Tony Chopper, the adorable reindeer doctor? The anticipation is real!
What to Expect in One Piece Season 2
According to updates from sources like The Pinnacle Gazette, Season 2 will dive into some of the most iconic arcs from Eiichiro Oda’s legendary manga, including Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, and the highly anticipated Drum Island arc. These storylines will introduce new characters and challenges, expanding the vibrant world of One Piece. Expect to meet fan-favorite characters like Nefertari Vivi, Tony Tony Chopper, and the menacing Sir Crocodile, played by Joe Manganiello.
The returning cast is joined by exciting new additions, including:
- Charithra Chandran as Miss Wednesday
- Katey Sagal as Dr. Kureha
- Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk
- Daniel Lasker as Mr. 9
- Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5
- Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine
- David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3
- Callum Kerr as Smoker
- Julia Rehwald as Tashigi
- Rob Colletti as Wapol
Filming for Season 2 began in June 2024 in Cape Town, South Africa, and wrapped in January 2025, with a potential release slated for the first quarter of 2025. The production timeline suggests we might not have to wait much longer to see Luffy and his crew back in action.
Why One Piece Season 2 Is a Must-Watch
The first season of Netflix’s One Piece broke records, surpassing Stranger Things to become the most-watched TV show in 84 countries during its debut weekend in August 2023. Its success lies in its faithful adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga, combined with a stellar cast that captures the heart and spirit of the Straw Hat Pirates. Creator Eiichiro Oda himself has praised the cast, especially Iñaki Godoy’s portrayal of Luffy, calling him the perfect fit for the role.
Season 2 promises to up the ante with better action sequences (Zoro fans, get ready for some epic sword fights!) and deeper emotional moments as the crew ventures further into the Grand Line. The introduction of Chopper and the Drum Island arc will add a new layer of heart and humor, while villains like Smoker and Baroque Works members will keep the stakes high.
Get Ready for Tudum and Beyond
Netflix’s Tudum event on May 31, 2025, is shaping up to be a big moment for One Piece fans. Whether it’s a release date, a full trailer, or a sneak peek at Chopper, this event is one you won’t want to miss.
