‘One Piece’ Season 2 Won’t Release Until 2025!!

Ahoy mateys! The second season of Netflix‘s One Piece has gone into production. Last year, the live-action adaptation of the series took the streamer by storm as it rapidly ramped up its watching hours with its impressive storytelling. The success of One Piece was evident early on as the records began to fall pretty quickly and soon enough, the series earned a second season order. The series is adapted from the popular Japanese manga series of the same name by Oda Eiichirō. The manga was first adapted as an anime which currently spans over 1,000 episodes since its launch in 1999. The live-action crew of the Straw Hats includes Iñaki Godoy (Luffy), Mackenyu (Zoro), Emily Rudd (Nami), Jacob Romero (Usopp), and Taz Skylar (Sanji).

Fans of the show will most certainly be looking forward to the show’s return now that production has kicked on. Next on the agenda for fans of the show will be the question of its release date. Speaking with Deadline, Tomorrow Studios CEO Marty Adelstein and President Becky Clements commented on the production and release schedule for Season 2 of One Piece. On the issue of premiere dates, Clements notes that the second season might not be out for a while. “This is a very VFX-heavy year, so it’s going to be a while. We are a long time out. We film into December,” her comments read in full. With filming billed to wrap in December, that suggests that any prospective release dates will lie in 2025 or later.

Given how entertaining the first season of One Piece turned out to be, it would be sad if the second season took an extended period before it returned. Clements’ revelation that the new season is a VFX-heavy year could mean that post-production delays might impact how long it takes for new episodes to arrive. There is also the small matter of prospectively filming both seasons two and three back-to-back. Last month, season one star, Brashaad Mayweather, suggested as much stating, “Hopefully there’s a flashback scene with Patty. We’ll see if they flashback to it, because they’re filming two seasons – season two and three – back to back starting soon. So we’ll see what happens.”

Barrow Works Action For Season 2

The upcoming season of One Piece will see the Straw Hats head into the Grand Line with the crew coming up against a new foe – the criminal syndicate known as Baroque Works. The members of the Barrow Works include David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Camrus Johnson, will play Mr. 5.and Daniel Lasker will play Mr. 9. While the Barrow Works will be a worthy foe for the Straw Hats in the coming season, Netflix has kept other plot details a secret. Other notable additions to season 2 include Brendan Sean Murray as Brogy, Callum Kerr as Smoker, Clive Russell as Crocus, Jazzara Jaslyn as Miss Valentine, Julia Rehwald as Tashigi, Rob Colletti as Wapol, Ty Keogh as Dalton, and Werner Coetser as Dorry.
