Netflix Renews Iñaki Godoy-Starrer “One Piece” for Second Season

Iñaki Godoy is preparing for another season of Piece…

Netflix has picked up a second season of One Piece, its hit live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s best-selling manga starring the 20-year-old Mexican actor.

Iñaki GodoyThe announcement was made via social media in a special message from Oda himself.

“To the Straw Hat Grand Fleet: What did you think of Season 1 of the live-action One Piece? I spent a long time working on it with Netflix and Tomorrow Studios. It seems people around the world have been enjoying the show, which makes the hard work from the production team truly worth it,” he said, before adding: “Two weeks after the launch, I just received some great news. Netflix has decided to renew the show! The adventures of Iñaki and the live-action Straw Hats will continue onward!”

Oda warned fans it will “still take a while” for the scripts for Season 2, asking for patience. However, as Deadline reported earlier this week, One Piece is believed to have written material, a creative outline for where the story could go in Season 2. Writing of scripts is on hold due to the WGA strike.

“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 season three to six,” One Piece executive producer Becky Clements told Deadline earlier this week. “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.”

The announcement comes shortly after the series wrapped its second week at No. 1 in Netflix’s Top 10 with another dominating performance internationally. Since debuting on the streamer on August 31, One Piece has been off to quite the promising start. In less than two weeks, it has tallied more than 38M views, which is quite a win for Netflix. There’s also been plenty of buzz on social media, indicating that the first season could see enough longevity to make it onto Netflix’s all time most popular TV list.

Based on Oda’s manga title, One Piece follows the otherworldly adventures of Monkey D. Luffy (Godoy) and his pirate crew as they explore exotic islands and endless oceans in search for the ultimate treasure “One Piece” to become the next Pirate King.

The cast also includes McKinley Belcher III, Morgan Davies, Aidan Scott, Vincent Regan, Jeff Ward, Craig Fairbrass, Langley Kirkwood, Celeste Loots, Alexander Maniatis, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Chioma Umeala and Steven Ward.

Steven Maeda and Matt Owens serve as writers, executive producers and showrunners. Oda, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements also executive produce.

One Piece is produced by Tomorrow Studios and Netflix in partnership with Shueisha.

Iñaki Godoy’s search for the “One Piece” is on…

Netflix has released the latest trailer for its upcoming live-action series One Piece, starring the 19-year-old Mexican actor, based on the popular manga.

Based on the manga title by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece will follow the otherworldly adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew as they explore exotic islands and endless oceans in search for the ultimate treasure “One Piece” to become the next Pirate King.

Along with the trailer, Netflix also released a letter from Oda about the upcoming series. He started by thanking fans for their outpouring of excitement thus far.

“It’s already fun seeing the flurry of reactions after each release of information,” he wrote. He was also quick to remind fans that, while the story is adapted from the popular manga series, they should expect some changes from the source material.

“After the launch, I’m sure I’ll hear about some people pointing out how this character is missing or that scene is omitted, or this bit is different from the manga, but I’m sure they’ll come from a place of love,” he continued. “So I intend to enjoy even those comments!”

In One Piece, Godoy stars as Monkey D. Luffy, along with the Straw Hats played by Mackenyu (Roronoa Zoro), Emily Rudd (Nami), Jacob Romero Gibson (Usopp) and Taz Skylar (Sanji).

Cast also includes McKinley Belcher III, Morgan Davies, Aidan Scott, Vincent Regan, Jeff Ward, Craig Fairbrass, Langley Kirkwood, Celeste Loots, Alexander Maniatis, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Chioma Umeala and Steven Ward.

Iñaki Godoy is bringing in the piece…

Netflix has released the trailer for its television adaptation of One Piece, starring the 19-year-old Mexican actor.

Iñaki GodoyOne Piece is a live-action take on the beloved Japanese manga of the same name.

The eight-episode series stars Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp and Taz Skylar as Sanji.

The first look was revealed at Netflix’s Tudum 2023 event in Brazil. It will release on Netflix on August 31.

The show tells the story of Luffy, a young man on his way to become pirate king alongside a crew of friends who help him on his hunt for treasure.

Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the original One Piece manga, is an executive producer on the series and worked closely with Netflix to ensure the show was as accurate to his vision as possible. He made a statement on the One Piece Twitter in May about the show’s progress.

“Even though they understand each of the characters, we obviously come from very different cultures,” Oda said. “So, when it comes to entertainment, we have different codes, skill sets, and aims. Sometimes it could be frustrating for both sides. It felt like, ‘We’re all trying to get to the same place so how come we’re not on the same wavelength? There was even a time when I thought, ‘Is a foreign production even possible?!’”

“I believe this is the last chance to bring ‘One Piece’ to the entire world,” he said. “If we’re going to do it, I want to be able to supervise things while I’m still active…it was announced that the show will launch in 2023, but they’ve promised that we won’t launch it until I’m satisfied.”

Additional cast includes McKinley Belcher III, Morgan Davies, Aidan Scott, Vincent Regan, Jeff Ward, Craig Fairbrass, Langley Kirkwood, Celeste Loots, Alexander Maniatis, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Chioma Umeala and Steven Ward.
