One Piece live-action season 2 is happening, according to Oda

The Straw Hat crew’s live-action journey is heading to the Grand Line. Netflix will bring its live action Straw Hat crew to Grand Line. One PieceThe series will return for a new season. A video released by the company on Thursday, in collaboration with creator Eiichiro Ada, announced this.

It was announced via video by Oda. One PieceThe author announced the return of the series via snail mail. After he makes the announcement, Oda teases that in season 2 the crew will need a great doctor, before drawing a the series’ beloved little reindeer/doctor Tony Tony Chopper.

Unfortunately, this announcement did not include a release date, which isn’t much of a surprise considering the ongoing Hollywood strikes. We do, however, know that scripts have been written for One Piece season 2 are already written (though Oda says there’s still some finalizing to do), which might mean that as soon as the Screen Actors Guild strike ends, the show can jump back into production. Marty Adelstein, the co-showrunner of The Walking Dead says the new season will be available between 12 to 15 months following the SAG Strike.
