Netflix’sOne Piece Live Actionhas garnered massive numbers in viewership, and the numbers are still increasing after five months. Seeing the popularity and the positive responses, Netflix did not waste time to renew the series for a second season. The executives confirmed that they had the scripts ready, but it would take at least a year to eighteen months forseason 2to start airing.
But, the time period will be extended since writers’ and actors’ strikes have delayed the procedure. Even though Mackenyu said that he would play a better Zoro in the upcoming year, it would not happen since the series will require more time to return. Other than Mackenyu, the fans are excited about Tony Tony Chopper’s live-action debut. Many new characters will make their debut, and the journey ahead will become more difficult.
