One Piece season 2 production has already begun following the end of the Writers Guild of America’s 148-day strike. The writers are back and have begun working on the script for the upcoming season. Season 1 was just the tip of the iceberg, and the real story starts here. Matt Owens has teased the audience regarding the theme of season 2 that will turn haters into fans.
Co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer for the Netflix live-action series Matt Owens is giving out subtle hints about the upcoming theme of season 2. The theme will be based on Luffy’s leadership as they began their conquest.
Luffy’s leadership will be the main theme of season 2 of One Piece live-action
There are many things to look forward to in the upcoming season of One Piece live-action, including the introduction of several new characters and very promising arcs.
Season 1 was a superhit, accumulated a very hefty amount of watch time, and became the best live-action anime to date.
In an interview with Deadline, Matt Ownes spoke about what fans can expect from the upcoming season of One Piece live-action, although he was very tight-lipped when it came to revealing much information.
He said this:
Without saying too much, and speaking to any new characters that we might meet, I would say a major theme that we’re working with in Season 2 is the challenge of leadership. From Luffy’s perspective, he’s got his crew now, and they are setting out to the Grand Line. They’re doing the thing, and there are a lot of challenges that come with that responsibility. And that theme ties into some other stories and characters that I won’t give away just yet. But the challenge and leadership is a big theme for us in Season 2.
Fans are in for an exciting adventure as some of their favorite characters will be introduced. New additions can be seen to the cast with improved animation, SFX, and better-than-before direction.
When can fans expect to see their loved characters back on screen?
Due to the Writers Guild of America strike, the script was delayed by a lot of time; therefore, it is still in its early stages.
Matt Owens said :
“We did start our Season 2 writers room for a little bit before the strike. We didn’t get much further than starting to plan out what the season is going to be and got a couple of outlines done. But that’s as far as we got. So there are not actually any scripts for the season that are done. It’s still going to take some time.”
The upcoming season will take some time before it is released to a global audience; however, the wait will be worth it.
With the ground-breaking success of season one and the love fans showed for the series, it is no surprise fans want to see their beloved straw hats back on the screen.
No information except the confirmation of season 2 has been released from Oda sensei or the production team.
