“We have hopes for 12 seasons, there’s so much material. Everything we do is in concert with Netflix, [manga publisher] Shueisha, and Oda-san, they are a part of that conversation. We’ve definitely had more thorough conversations about what we would do with Season 2 should we have the opportunity and then less extensive conversations about where we would go for seasons three to six.”
”The one thing I would say, we’re all unified in the parts of the manga that you just absolutely cannot eliminate, and that’s our guiding principle, the stories that we know and the characters that we know are important to the fans. So that really is the start in breaking future seasons. It will require a lot of conversations, but we feel lucky to have the roadmap”
