The ONE PIECE live-action season 2 has been officially announced in a message from Eiichiro Oda himself. Previously, the producers said that the scripts for a second season are already ready and that production could last between 12 to 18 months after the SAG-AFTRA strike ends. However, in the official announcement, Oda states that it will take some time to prepare the scripts and that the crew now needs a doctor. Watch the announcement:
The live-action series has Matt Owens (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Luke Cage) and Steven Maeda (The X-Files, CSI: Miami, Lost) serving as writers, executive producers, and showrunners. The creator, Eiichiro Oda, is also among the show’s executive producers. We also got the chance to interview the Director of Photography for the first 2 episodes, Nicole Hirsch Whitaker, and we talked a bit about the production, cast, staff, challenges, fun and more. Check out the full interview for more.
The first season made its debut on August 31, and it topped Netflix’s global English TV Ranking with 18.5 million total views, 140.1 million hours viewed and an average runtime of 7:34 hours. It kept its top spot in the 2nd week as well, marking a huge success for the adaptation.
