So, every content around the franchise eventually becomes the most awaited one. Moreover, One Piece’s protagonist, Luffy, is everyone’s favorite, and OPLA has played well there. That’s because the creators of the live-action blessed us with Inaki Godoy’s Luffy, who we feel is the human version of the anime character. Besides him, the live-action gave us all the reasons to invest our time in it, be it the intriguing plot or the incredible performances; OPLA has it all.

The finale of The Witcher Season 3 saw Yennefer, Geralt, and Ciri getting brutally defeated by Vilgefortz. Besides that, following Tissaia’s death, Yennefer becomes Aretuza’s new leader. Witcher Season 4 will likely see Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer separated from each other. However, they will go beyond their limitations to fight the challenges and reunite with each other.

Peacemaker Season 2 will likely see the main character fighting his inner demons. Peacemaker’s father had a big influence on the boy’s life, but our anti-hero made it pretty clear in the first season that he isn’t anything like his father. The second season will probably see the character moving on from the emotional grappling hook of his father.
