The third season of One Piece on Netflix has finished filming. This installment adapts the Alabasta arc, with Princess Vivi as a regular character and Sir Crocodile as the main villain. Series followers will be able to see new adventures in spring 2027. The wait will be approximately one year, a timeframe considered agile for a production of this caliber.
Production and effects for the Alabasta arc 🎬
Filming has been completed in locations in South Africa and Spain, where the deserts and cities of the Alabasta kingdom were recreated. The technical team has worked on integrating visual effects for Crocodile's sand abilities and Luffy's Gomu Gomu fruit movements. Post-production will extend for several months to adjust the action sequences and digital sets. The result is expected to maintain the visual quality of previous seasons.
A year of waiting to see sand and drama ⏳
A whole year to see Luffy sweat under the Alabasta sun while Crocodile throws handfuls of sand at him. Fans will have plenty of time to debate whether Vivi's makeup is faithful to the manga or if Crocodile's actor looks more like a lizard than the original character. Meanwhile, we just have to sit and wait, hoping Netflix doesn't cancel the series just when it starts getting good.
