Premiering its first season in August 2023, this fan-favorite series took Netflix by storm. However, no one should've really been surprised. The show is based on one of the most iconic and long-running manga series of all time. If you've guessed One Piece, you'd be absolutely right! The popular live-action Netflix series will return with its highly anticipated second season in March, and now fans will have two ways to watch it.

Originally, One Piece season 2 was only going to be released on Netflix. While that's true to an extent, there's now an exciting twist for the global fanbase. The streaming giant has announced that the first two episodes of the second season will also be shown in theaters for a special premiere event. This unique theatrical experience gives fans the chance to step into the world of Netflix's One Piece like never before.

In fact, this is only the second time a Netflix series has hit theaters. The first time was when the Stranger Things series finale was released in theaters on Dec. 31, 2025. So, yeah, this is pretty big!
