Jacob Romero starred in the TV series Greenleaf, which aired from 2019 to 2020. He played the role of AJ Delajae in 15 episodes of the series. However, he did not gain prominence as an actor until he starred as the braggart marksman, Usopp.
Romero, best known for his performance in the Netflix series One Piece, has recently given a sneak peek into the show’s second season. By answering fan queries and giving potential Season 2 spoilers, the actor gave an insight into quite a few things.
Romero along with his One Piece castmates enthralled the audiences with the live-action series. In a video for Netflix released on YouTube on Usopp’s birthday, Romero gave a sneak peek of the much-anticipated Season 2.
Jacob Romero Gave a Sneak Peek into One Piece Season 2
On the occasion of Usopp’s birthday on April 1, a video was uploaded on the Still Watching Netflix channel. In the video, Romero gives some “honest” answers to fans’ questions about the second season.
One of these questions was about the addition of Princess Vivi and her loyal pet duck Karoo to the cast. However, the answers to all these answers might have to be taken with a pinch of salt considering Romero looked very much in character, who is well known for his mischievous nature.
Matt Owens also appears in the video and attempts to stop Romero from revealing actual Season 2 spoilers. The video ends with a drawing of Usopp facing a dinosaur. This appears to be a potential hint that Season 2 would feature the prehistoric island of Little Garden, which was one of the first islands that the Straw Hat pirates explored in the Grand Line.
One Piece Season 1 Was a Hit With the Fans
One Piece is the live-action adaptation of the eponymous popular manga series by Eiichiro Oda. Matt Owens and Steven Maeda created the fantasy adventure series. The show is centered around Captain Monkey D. Luffy, a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Other group members are Nami (Emily Rudd), Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu), Usopp (Jacob Romero), and Sanji (Taz Skylar).
The first season of the series received appraisal for the cast’s performances, visual effects, and loyalty to the source material from both audiences and critics. Shortly after the release of the first season, Netflix renewed the show for a second one.
When Will One Piece Season 2 be Released?
Tomorrow Studios CEO Marty Adelstein claimed that scripts for the second season were ready (via Variety). Unfortunately, the filming could not begin until the SAG-AFTRA strike was resolved.
However, Tomorrow Studios president Becky Clements’ expressed her hope in the fact that they would be able to release the show within twelve to eighteen months after the strike was over. Clements said:
“Realistically, hopefully, a year away, if we move very quickly, and that is a possibility. Somewhere between a year and 18 months, we could be ready for air.”
In an interview with Deadline, Clements also said that while they had had “thorough conversations” about Season 2, there were “less extensive conversations” on Seasons 3 to 6. Rest assured, fans are definitely getting a second season.
All episodes of One Piece Season 1 are available for streaming on Netflix.
