Ahoy, One Piece aficionados! If you’re anything like us, you’ve been binging the newly-released One Piece Live-Action series on Netflix like there’s no tomorrow. But now that you’ve raided this treasure, it’s only natural to wonder: will the studios greenlight a sequel voyage? One Piece has faced the daunting task of transcending the so-called “anime adaptation curse,” but initial reviews suggest it’s got a shot.
As written by Anushka Solanki and published on August 31, 2023, “The One Piece Live-Action has just been released and the fans continue to stream through the episodes.”Moreover, speculations are already building up around the next season, and trust us when we say, the fandom is impatient.
A Milestone Anime, But What About Live-Action?
Let’s not forget that One Piece is a behemoth in the anime world. Boasting over a thousand episodes and chapters, this is a tale too large to be constrained within a single season of a live-action adaptation. But is it possible that this sprawling saga will get another live-action installment? Here’s what the creators have up their sleeves.
Neither the makers nor any of the staff or cast members have given out an official update on the show’s return,
Solanki noted. Let’s just say, if you’re planning to set sail on the next season anytime soon, you might be in for a long voyage in uncharted waters.
The Number Game: It’s All About Streaming Metrics
It’s simple. More eyeballs, more chance of survival in the choppy seas of television.A lot depends on the streaming numbers of the show. If there are enough fans who love the series, then there is a chance that the makers will consider working on another one,
according to the source article. But let’s not hold our collective breath; at the moment, the chances for another season appearing next year appear slim.
The Long Road Ahead: Production and Streaming
Hold onto your pirate hats, mates! Even if the crew gets the nod this month, it’s going to be a painstaking process to bring this ship back to port.
With the first one being in the works for more than two years, it is evident that making a live-action adaptation is a tedious process,One Piece Live-Action

per Solanki’s report. Translation: even if Season 2 were approved tomorrow, it would take a year—at least—to go into production. So, the earliest fans can expect a new season is around the Fall of 2024.
Final Thoughts: To Sail or Not To Sail?
Alright, scallywags and seasoned sea dogs, the real treasure—for now—is the newly released season on Netflix. The future of One Piece Live-Action may be as mysterious as the All Blue, but that won’t stop us from dreaming of another epic journey with Luffy and the gang.
While we can’t say for sure that another season is on the horizon, what we do know is that the One Piece fandom is like no other. If sheer will and passion have anything to do with it, then this live-action adaptation just might get its sequel. After all, we’ve got a whole lot more Grand Line to explore.
