Season two of One Piece live action has been in the making for quite some time now. With updates trickling in slowly since production began in July last year, Netflix has been keeping its highly anticipated show quite under wraps. However, the OTT platform answered a few questions during its TUDUM event on June 1, 2025.
One Piece season 2 will be released on Netflix sometime in 2026. At the event, Netflix also announced a new character this season – Tony Tony Chopper. Voiced by Mikaela Hoover, this tiny character was introduced via a short teaser video. Hoover also took the facial capture of Chopper.
Netflix Introduces Chopper From The Live-Action One Piece Season 2
In the 88-second-long teaser video, Chopper hides behind a pole in an indoor room. Chopper is shy, nervous, and slips down the steps before revealing the release timeline for the next season. Chopper receives encouragement from people behind the camera, but does not look happy about it. Chopper runs away, scared and anxious, as the teaser concludes. This teaser gave a good insight into Chopper’s characteristics as a shy, cute, and reliable character.

Chopper is a reindeer-human hybrid character who is a doctor aboard the Straw Hats’ ship. He aims to heal any disease and travel the world helping those in need. Chopper is one of the most important characters in the anime, and his addition to the live-action certainly raises hopes about the story’s development.
