After a popular first season, the live action adaptation of One Piece is planning its big return. For the occasion, Netflix reveals the casting of three important characters in the story arcs to come.
An expected second season
In 2023, the live action of One Piece landed on Netflix, and this, despite enormous fear from fans. And for good reason, the latest examples of live action adaptations of manga or anime were often far from unanimous. Discuss the disasters that were Death Note And Dragonball Evolution should be enough to legitimize this fear of the community. However, to everyone’s surprise, this first season of One piece was rather well received by the publicproof of this are the honorable scores of 8.3/10 on IMDb and 85% on Rotten Tomatoes. And for Netflix, the producer of the project, it is a total success: the series has accumulated over 500 million hours of viewingas we mentioned in this article.
Faced with this success, the streaming platform immediately packed up for a second season.. Having concluded the Arlong Park arc in the final episodes, the producers will now need to bring the Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Little Garden and perhaps Drum Kingdom arcs to life. Important story arcs for the Straw Hatsespecially because they have a good number of encounters there. We obviously think of Chopper, but also giants Dorry and Brogy as well as Crocus the grumpy.

…which reveals its casting
And to interpret these new characters, Netflix has just made official the casting of three new actors. Among them, we find a fairly neophyte actor in the presence of Werner Coetser, who will bring life to Dorry. To stand up to him, it will be Brendan Murray who will take on the role of Brogy. In his career, Murray has played several secondary or tertiary roles in major series such as The Boys, Designated Survivor or even Suits. And as for Crocushe will take on the features of Clive Russel, a British actor who notably played the role of Brynden Tully in Game of Thrones. All join the cast of Baroque Works that Netflix recently revealed.
According to the latest news, filming for this second season was due to begin this year and end in early 2025. We can therefore hope for a release for summer 2025 (at least)but nothing confirms it for the moment. Let’s just hope that enough time is taken, to continue to deliver a quality series that respects the original medium. In the meantime, if you want to (re)discover the first season of One Piece in live action, all episodes are available for streaming on Netflix.
