Netflix had announced that Season 2 of the One Piece live-action series would release in 2025. The announcement appeared on Netflix TUDUM alongside news about a partnership with LEGO. However, the website has now removed the release year from the article.
No one knows why Netflix changed the post. Maybe they announced the release date too early or aren’t sure about it yet. Either way, fans are left wondering when Season 2 will arrive.
The new season looks huge. More than 20 new actors have joined the cast, and last September, we got a glimpse of Drum Island and Chopper. Eiichiro Oda said this season will be even better than the first. Jeff Ward even teased in a recent set tour video that it might still come out this year.
Matt Owens and Steven Maeda are returning as showrunners, writers, and executive producers. Oda is also closely involved to make sure the series stays true to the original story.
The new cast includes David Dastmalchian as Mr. 3, Campus Johnson as Mr. 5, Clive Russell as Crocus, Callum Kerr as Smoker, Joe Manganiello as Crocodile, and Charithra Chandran as Vivi. Many more actors are joining the adventure, each bringing their own unique touch to the One Piece world.
