Netflix has expanded the roster for the third season of its live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s ONE PIECE. Four new actors will join the production as it heads into Season 3, titled The Battle of Alabasta. The season focuses on the high-stakes conflict surrounding the desert kingdom at the heart of this major story arc.
The casting news broke during a stage presentation at ONE PIECE DAY’26. Voice actors from both the long-running anime and the live-action series shared the stage to mark the reveals and celebrate the ongoing expansion of the world.
Here are the four actors joining Netflix's live-action ONE PIECE for Season 3:
Emilio Sakraya (Sixty Minutes) as Koza
Omid Abtahi (The Mandalorian) as Toto
Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot) as Pell
Nabeel Khan (The Nowhere Man, stunt actor) as Chaka
The live-action ONE PIECE first arrived on Netflix on August 31, 2023, and quickly earned strong notices for its faithful yet energetic approach, especially the carefully chosen ensemble. Season 2, known as Into the Grand Line, followed on March 10, 2026, and continued building momentum with its deeper dive into the series’ larger world. Season 3 is currently lined up for a 2027 premiere window.
These four additions round out key figures tied to the Alabasta storyline, giving the production more of the characters who help drive the political tension, personal loyalties, and large-scale confrontations at the center of the arc. With principal photography already complete, the creative team can now focus on post-production as the season moves toward its expected 2027 arrival. The continued casting of recognizable talent alongside the core Straw Hat crew keeps the live-action version on a steady path of growth while staying rooted in the source material’s spirit.
As the live-action series prepares to tackle one of the manga’s most memorable early sagas, Netflix’s broader ONE PIECE footprint keeps expanding. The platform will also bring the new ONE PIECE anime remake from WIT Studio to viewers, offering a fresh animated take on the early adventures that will arrive around the same time as Season 3. Together the projects ensure the franchise remains highly visible across both live-action and animation for the next stretch of its journey.
