Eiichiro Oda talks about the new season.
- Oda is deeply involved in this project.
- He believes it will be better than the first season
One Piece's official X (formerly Twitter) account posted a message about Eiichi Oda's trip to Cape Town. It begins with Oda telling fans that Cape Town is the live-action filming location for One Piece. He expressed his delight at the crew's work and the detail put into creating the sets for the series.
Oda also spoke about the crew's dedication to the show and how much he loves the food. He said he spoke with key cast members from season 1 and new cast members. Oda also said that he made his selections while he was in Japan, so he based his choices on photos and videos. But after seeing them up close, he was convinced it was the perfect choice. Oda also made it clear that One Piece Live Action season 2 will surpass the first season.
One Piece Live Action was a huge success.
One Piece Live Action was announced in 2019. Filming for the first season was scheduled to begin in 2020, but was postponed due to the pandemic. After completing filming, Netflix released the first season in 2023. The response was overwhelmingly positive. So it's not really surprising that it was extended for two more seasons.
The main reason for the positive response was Oda's hard work. The writer serves as the executive producer of the series because he or she knows the needs of the audience. One Piece Live Action helped the series reach a wider audience. There is no doubt that it played a role in One Piece's popularity. A second season of the live action series is already in the works and it won't be long before it premieres on Netflix.
One Piece Live Action is available to stream on Netlix.
