Netflix has released the official trailer for Season 2 of its hit live-action series “One Piece: Into the Grand Line,” offering fans a first look at the next chapter of the high-seas adventure ahead of its March 10 premiere.
The trailer arrives alongside newly released images and a personal letter from creator Eiichiro Oda, who shared his excitement for the new season of the adaptation based on his best-selling manga. Season 2 finds Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat pirates venturing into the legendary Grand Line, a treacherous stretch of sea filled with formidable enemies, bizarre islands and escalating stakes in the search for the world’s greatest treasure.
In tandem with the trailer drop, Netflix announced 13 global fan screenings and activations for “One Piece.” Events will roll out across multiple cities, including Mexico City, Los Angeles, Paris, Tokyo, Cape Town, Bangkok and Rio de Janeiro, beginning Feb. 23 and running through mid-March.
The series, produced by Tomorrow Studios in partnership with Shueisha and Netflix, debuted in 2023, topping Netflix’s Global Top 10 for eight weeks and reaching No. 1 in more than 75 countries. It was also the first English-language Netflix series to debut at No. 1 in Japan.
Season 2 is co-showrun by Matt Owens and Joe Tracz, with Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero and Taz Skylar returning, alongside an expanded ensemble cast. Netflix has already renewed the series for a third season.

PROGRAMMING
Pop superstar Pink is set to guest host a week of episodes on “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” beginning March 2, to celebrate Women’s History Month.
The week will focus on recognizing women who “inspire change, break barriers and uplift one another,” according to the show. The episodes will feature surprise performances and conversations with trailblazers in the entertainment industry and people working to make a difference in their communities.
“I’ve played stadiums and danced on the side of buildings, but stepping in to guest host for my girl Kelly Clarkson is a brand-new feat,” Pink said in a statement. “Let’s celebrate women, joy, resilience and whatever comes else comes our way.”
Clarkson added, “The only thing that bums me out about Pink hosting a week of ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’ is that I’m not going to be able to be there to watch her. I have been a fan for so long and have always been inspired by her music and her person. I love her.”
Pink previously appeared on the show during a “Songs & Stories” episode where the singer performed her hits “Who Knew” and “What About Us,” and shared the stories behind her music.
Season 7 will be the final season of “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” as per Clarkson’s decision to step away and prioritize her children after the death of her husband, Brandon Blackstock, in 2025.
The rest of Season 7 will air as planned through the fall of 2026, with Clarkson and a few special guest hosts, who have yet to be announced.
