Netflix has green-lit a second season for the live-action adaptation of "One Piece."

The renewal was announced on Netflix's social media platforms two weeks following the series' premiere.

The show draws its inspiration from the globally renowned manga and anime, "One Piece", chronicling the quests of Monkey D. Luffy, a youthful pirate in pursuit of the legendary One Piece treasure. Success would crown him the Pirate King.

Taking on the role of Luffy is Iñaki Godoy, with a star-studded ensemble featuring Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd portraying Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji. Other notable cast members are Vincent Regan, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Morgan Davies, Aidan Scott, Langley Kirkwood, Jeff Ward, Celeste Loots, Alexander Maniatis, McKinley Belcher III, Craig Fairbrass, Steven Ward, and Chioma Umeala. The series boasts the creative minds of Matt Owens and Steven Maeda as its writers and executive producers, with the duo also taking the helm as show-runners. Eiichiro Oda, the original brain behind “One Piece”, joins the executive producer roster, collaborating with Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements from Tomorrow Studios. The show is a joint creation of Tomorrow Studios, Shueisha, and Netflix.

Given its stellar run on Netflix's top 10 charts over a fortnight and positive critiques, the renewal wasn't unexpected. Adelstein had hinted in a conversation with Variety about the completion of scripts for the next season. Clements added that viewers might expect the sequel in approximately a year to a year and a half.
