While these words looks very promising, Marty Adelstein, who is the CEO of One Piece production company Tomorrow Studios, has recently revealed the exact release window for One Piece Season 2, along with that, she has officially confirmed that the script writing of the sequel season is finished.
In a conversation with the Variety, she has mentioned, “[they have] got scripts ready!“. That means, almost half of the work has been completed because script writing is the only thing which takes a good amount of time in development.
If these words are not enough to convince you, then you might feel even much better after knowing that the president of the Tomorrow Studios has released his official statement on the release schedule.
In the same interview with the Variety, the president Becky Clements has told that One Piece Season 2 will officially release in the next 18 months!. Becky said :

One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Plot : What Is Going To Happen?
Now after knowing about the release dates of One Piece Live-Action Season 2, you may ask about it’s plotline. After all, what is going to happen in the second season? Will Smoker play an important role in the second season?
With 1000-plus episodes down the line, studio has a lot to cover. We knows that Tony Chopper, Nico Robin, Franky, Brook, Jinbe and Nefertari Vivi are definitely going to appear in the second season, however, the biggest story to kick off season two will probably be centered around newcomer Smoker.
Though we only saw the back of his profile in the season one cliffhanger, we’re almost certain he was the individual burning a hole into Luffy’s most wanted poster with his cigar. His white hair and signature two cigars in one hand are the clue on which we base our findings.
If this is the case, of course it will be, then Luffy will face some problems as the Marine vice admiral has made it his mission to capture Luffy. Apart from this, we may also get some new characters because the studio won’t leave any chance to cash in this opportunity of grabbing some handsome amount of cash!
So we should just keep our hopes high because a lot is going to happen in the One Piece Live-Action Season 2! However, as per now, it is too early to predict everything about the plotline, so we should keep an eye on the studio.
One Piece Live-Action Season 1 Ending Explained!
By the end of the first season, we saw how Luffy and the Straw Hats made their way to Conomi Islands in order to save Nami from Arlong and recruit her back into the crew. Consequently, this mission ended up being a success as the Straw Hats defeated the Arlong Pirates and rescued Nami’s hometown.
The only difference that we got to see between the original and the Live-Action version was that, in the Live Action One Piece, we see Garp finally catching up to and confronting Luffy.
It was revealed at the end that Garp was testing Luffy all along to see how firm his determination was toward his beliefs and dreams. Next, we move back to see the reunion of Straw Hats on the Going Merry. The live-action then shows the Straw Hats screaming out their dreams, placing their foot on top of a sake barrel, and setting sails for the Grand Line. Thus, the Straw Hat Pirates crew is officially born.
Hence, the season 1 of the Netflix’s version of One Piece Live-Action ends on a happy note, along with an indication of a new character, maybe Smoker, in it’s post credits scene!
One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Cast: Who Is Returning?
The plot for season 2 is set, the script writing has been completed and the ending scene was perfect, but who is going to return in One Piece Live-Action Season 2? Well, we have some solid answers.
The show will remain incomplete without our main characters, so it confirms the return of:
• Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D Luffy
• Emily Rudd as Nami
• Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro
• Jacob Romero as Usopp
• Taz Skylar as Sanji
Apart from these five legends, how can we forget about our epic villains? After all who would the King of the Pirates be without a few enemies, and following their first season adventures, Luffy and his crew have racked up quite a few.
So there’s a huge possibility to get the following characters back in action in the sequel season :
• Captain Alvida (played by Ilia Isorelýs Paulino)
• Buggy the Clown (played by Jeff Ward)
• Klahadore/Kuro (played by Alexander Maniatis)
• Arlong (played by McKinley Belcher III)
It’s likely a whole new host of friends and foes will join the cast, especially given that Luffy’s crew is set to grow in numbers but we should also expect some new faces in the franchise as tons of new characters are definitely going to make their appearance in the second season.
That being said, a lot is going to get uncovered about the castings of One Piece Live-Action Season 2 in the next few months, and we are sure that Netflix will bring the perfect casting for this epic saga!
One Piece Live-Action Season 2 Episodes : How Many Episodes Are Going To Be There?

In fact, things were taking place very quickly that many times we were wondering about the scenes which got skipped and could make the show even much better.
With these things in mind, we can expect the same treatment from the second season. However, there are some new reports which are claiming some new details about the second season episodes. If rumors to be believed, we may get the total of 10 or more episodes in the second season.
