When it premiered in the summer of 2023, Netflix’s live-action adaption of One Piece took the world by storm, so, of course, the countdown for One Piece season 2 has been on ever since.
Adapting beloved manga and anime stories to a live-action format is no easy feat, but Netflix seems to have struck gold with One Piece. Based on the original story by Eiichiro Oda, who’s also involved in the live-action series, One Piece follows the story of a young pirate named Monkey D. Luffy (played by Iñaki Godoy) who grew up dreaming of being a pirate and acquired supernatural elasticity (and a quasi-mortal weakness to water) after eating a devil fruit in his childhood. Now, he’s determined to become the King of the Pirates and find Gold Roger’s long-lost treasure, the One Piece.
Season 1 of Netflix’s One Piece introduced us to Luffy as he recruits the first members of the Straw Hat Pirates — namely Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji — following the manga and anime’s initial chapters to a tee and enthralling audiences around the world.

The show amassed almost 40 million views in less than two weeks, which made it the number 1 title globally on the platform upon its release, so suffice it to say, expectations are high for season 2.
