One Piece is returning to Netflix for a second season. The streaming service has renewed the live-action adventure series based on the anime of the same name. Those behind the series at Tomorrow Studios had revealed that they had season two scripts ready to go once the current strikes end. The series was created by Matt Owens and Steven Maeda.
Starring Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, Vincent Regan, Jeff Ward, Morgan Davies, Jacob Romero Gibson, and Taz Skylar, the live-action series is set in a world where pirates and marines fight over control of the Blue Sea.
The story follows Monkey D. Luffy (Godoy), a young adventurer who has longed for a life of freedom for as long as he can remember. Luffy sets off from his small village on a perilous journey to find the legendary fabled treasure, “One Piece”, to become King of the Pirates. But, in order to find the ultimate prize, Luffy needs to assemble the crew he’s always wanted before finding a ship to sail, searching every inch of the vast blue seas, outpacing the Marines, and outwitting dangerous rivals at every turn.
The series’ renewal is unsurprising since it’s been very successful for the streamer. It’s been the most-watched series on Netflix since it debuted on August 31st.
Series executive producer and creator of the original 1997 manga, Eiichiro Oda, announced the renewal of One Piece via video.

What do you think? Are you excited to see more of this Netflix series?
I just finished watching this series and I really liked it! It was very entertaining. I am extremely happy this has been renewed. Monkey D Luffy is a very lovable character.
Yes he is. For a live action remake of a still ongoing anime with over 1000 episodes. This first season is pretty good and I hope they can do the whole anime series. But knowing how Netflix is with series it might not make it to a season 4.
