Netflix's One Piece isn't sinking any time soon, despite reports on the contrary, as season 2 topples season 1's streaming record.
According to Nielsen's latest streaming numbers (per The Hollywood Reporter), One Piece season 2 drew in 1.62 billion minutes on streaming during its opening week in the March 9-15 period, with only sequel sensation Zootopia 2 bettering those figures on Disney Plus (1.72 billion).
That exceptional debut actually stands out as the live-action adaptation's highest audience number yet, beating season 1's 1.39 billion in 2023.

Previously, there had been concern over the Netflix show's future as Forbes reported that season 2 debuted to lower numbers than season 1. With a 12-season plan mooted, it appeared One Piece was entering choppy waters for the first time.

All told, there's bountiful treasures for One Piece fans on the horizon. Not only is One Piece season 3 now filming, with new episodes coming in 2027, but a One Piece remake from WIT Studio is headed to Netflix.
On the anime side of things, the Elbaph Arc has kicked off in earnest, though Toei Animation has revealed it will be slowing down the cadence of releases to only 26 episodes in 2026.

With all that spare time on your hands, it might be a good idea to get searching for the real-life One Piece. Series creator Eiichiro Oda sparked a wild goose chase earlier this year by dropping the meaning of the One Piece into the bottom of the ocean in an undisclosed location. Some fans think they've pinpointed where that could be, however.
I'm the Senior Entertainment Writer here at GamesRadar+, focusing on news, features, and interviews with some of the biggest names in film and TV. On-site, you'll find me marveling at Marvel and providing analysis and room temperature takes on the newest films, Star Wars and, of course, anime. Outside of GR, I love getting lost in a good 100-hour JRPG, Warzone, and kicking back on the (virtual) field with Football Manager. My work has also been featured in OPM, FourFourTwo, and Game Revolution.
