There will be some changes behind the scenes for Season 3. While Matt Owens and Joe Tracz co-showran the second season, Tracz will now share leadership duties with Ian Stokes for the upcoming season. Owens plans to take a step back to focus on his mental health and self-care.

The news came out of the annual One Piece Day celebration on Tokyo, where it was also revealed that Ian Stokes would be joining Joe Tracz as co-showrunner on Season 3. Stokes was previously a co-executive producer on Season 1. Production on the third season will begin later this year in Cape Town, South Africa.
