ONE PIECE Season 3: New Cast, BTS Photos, Synopsis, More - Netflix Tudum
That bubbly ringing you hear is the sound of a snail phone delivering fresh intel about ONE PIECE Season 3: Four new faces have boarded the pirate adventure.
The newcomers climbing aboard in recurring roles include Emilio Sakraya as Koza, Omid Abtahi as Toto, Jamie Ward as Pell, and Nabeel Khan as Chaka.
The upcoming chapter, titled ONE PIECE: The Battle of Alabasta, brings the fan-favorite Alabasta arc to life as the Straw Hats race to help Vivi (Charithra Chandran) save her homeland, which is on the brink of civil war.
“For many ONE PIECE fans, Alabasta is the arc that hooked them as nakama for life, combining [ONE PIECE manga creator Eiichiro Oda] Oda-san’s incredible talent for world-building and memorable characters in a story that’s thematically rich, emotionally gripping, and visually spectacular,” Season 3 co-showrunners, writers, and executive producers Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes tell Tudum. “Reaching this story has been a dream for our team since the live-action series began. We’re excited to be in production on Season 3 right now. We’ll see you in Alabasta — it’s going to be epic!”
Read on to learn more about the new season, including the synopsis and cast.
What is ONE PIECE Season 3 about?
After agreeing to help Princess Vivi at the end of Season 2, Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and the Straw Hat crew face a brewing war in the desert kingdom of Alabasta, Vivi’s homeland.
In Season 3, a rebellion “threatens to tear the nation apart, fueled in secret by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the ruthless Sir Crocodile, and his underground syndicate Baroque Works, who seek to conquer Alabasta for themselves,” the logline reads. “In a season defined by unbreakable bonds and impossible choices, the Straw Hats must face a brewing civil war and a powerful warlord to save Vivi’s kingdom before it crumbles into the sand.”
Formidable new enemies and brand-new worlds await in this upcoming installment, in which the stakes are the highest they’ve ever been.
