One Piece is set to return to Netflix with its second season on March 10, and to ring in the occasion, the streamer is dropping the first two episodes in theaters. The company announced on Tuesday that the fan celebration will take place on premiere day at 6 p.m. ET (March 10) for moviegoers in Canada, Japan and the US.
Ticket sales begin Thursday, Feb. 26, at 11 a.m. ET (8 a.m. PT) and will be available on the special One Piece fan site here. Only select Regal, AMC, Alamo, Cinemark and Cineplex theaters in the US will screen the event, which will be spread across more than 200 locations in all three countries.
Season 2 of the live-action series will introduce the “Into the Grand Line” story arc from the manga, taking Luffy (played by Iñaki Godoy) and his crew into treacherous new sea-faring territory. Will they find treasure? With new characters joining this installment, anything is possible. In this new season, viewers can get excited to see the live-action versions of Chopper (voiced by Mikaela Hooper), as well as Dr. Kureha, Miss All-Sunday, Smoker, Miss Wednesday, Wapol, Joe Manganiello as Mr. 0 and a host of other fresh faces.
With the season 2 debut set for March 10 in theaters and on Netflix, there’s still plenty of time for cosplayers to prepare their best Straw Hat outfits and watch parties.
