Netflix likes to adapt manga and anime into live-actionbut the result is often disappointing (Death Note, Cowboy Bebop). As saying that the adaptation of One Piece serial live was expected at the turnthe producers had allocated an $18 million budget for each of the eight episodes, and the result is… good.
Yes, despite obligatory script shortcuts, the live series One Piece met with real critical success, but also public success, with 37.8 million views on Netflix in two weeks. All this is enough for a season 2 to be made official this weekand it is the mangaka Eiichiro Oda who announces the good news to thesnailphone. The sequence, quite nightmarish it must be admitted, already confirms the presence of a character appreciated by all fans: Tony-Tony Chopper will be there in season 2 of One Piece !
Well, don’t expect these new episodes to arrive in the coming months, the writers’ and actors’ strike is still preventing the launch of new projects. Besides, if the producer of the series Becky Clements affirmed to Deadline that the script for season 2 was finished, Oda contradicted her in her message, undoubtedly in support of the strikersyou will therefore have to be patient, but this is only the beginning of a long adventure.
Tomorrow Studios indeed admitted to Deadline to have plans for 12 seasons of One Piece on Netflix, it must be said that with 1091 chapters published at present, you only have to look to find ideas. More concretely, the producers focus on season 2 but also on the main lines of seasons 3 to 6. If Netflix does not return to its bad habit of canceling a series midway, fans should have episodes to watch for years!
Because yes, yes One Piece attracted people to Netflixclimbing into the Top 10 of 93 countries, season 1 failed to dethrone the popularity of Squid Game, Stranger Things or Wednesday. Suffice to say that spectators had better be loyal if they do not want to see the adventures of Luffy and its band be cut short. You can find derivative products One Piece on Amazon.
