Production is officially underway on the live-action adaptation of Japan’s highest-selling manga series One Piece season two. Netflix announced the start of production with a short video showing the series’ stars reuniting in Cape Town to begin filming.
Season one premiered on August 31, 2023 and earned a quick season two renewal in September. Netflix’s latest announcement didn’t confirm when fans can expect to catch up with the Straw Hats crew for season two.
The popular series stars Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. The returning cast also includes Ilia Isorelys Paulino as Alvida, Jeff Ward as Buggy, and Michael Dorman as Gold Roger.

“One Piece is a legendary high-seas adventure unlike any other. Monkey D. Luffy is a young adventurer who has longed for a life of freedom since he can remember,” reads Netflix’s synopsis. “Luffy sets off from his small village on a perilous journey to find the legendary fabled treasure, ONE PIECE, to become King of the Pirates! But in order to find the ultimate prize, Luffy will need to assemble the crew he’s always wanted before finding a ship to sail, searching every inch of the vast seas, outpacing the Marines, and outwitting dangerous rivals at every turn.”
Matt Owens and Joe Tracz serve as writers, executive producers, and co-showrunners of the series, based on Eiichiro Oda’s pirate manga. Additional executive producers include Oda, Tetsu Fujimura, Chris Symes, Steven Maeda, and Tomorrow Studios’ Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements.
