The live-action One Piece was a surprising hit for Netflix, and the second season is currently underway.
Though we don’t have a look at the incoming season yet, Netflix releases promos once in a while, and the most recent one has series lead Iñaki Godoy (Luffy) interviewing One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda. Check this out:
Here’s the official description:
Iñaki Godoy, who plays Luffy in ONE PIECE, meets with the legendary creator, Mr. Oda, to discuss his first set visit. The conversation takes place in Japanese, and offers a look into the future of the series. The Grand Line… here we come!
While manga creators are usually hands off when it comes to adaptations, Oda was actually invited to the set of the series, and it looks like they’re taking his input seriously. After news of Oda going on a break from One Piece, it’s great that he actually got to visit the set in South Africa.
Though there hasn’t been an official look at them yet, the main antagonists for the next arc are Baroque Works, an organization run by Mr. 0 (played by Joe Manganiello). The arc will also see the introduction of Nico Robin (Lera Bova) and Vivi (Charithra Chandran).
The first season of One Piece wasn’t perfect, but it was definitely a great adaptation of a goofy comic. I’m just hoping they have more of a budget for special effects in the second season, because they are very sparing when it comes to Luffy’s powers.
Season 2 of One Piece is currently in production, and it’s likely it could release on Netflix sometime in 2026.
