Netflix’s One Piece Season 2 Production Status

The shooting for the second season officially began in July 2024. The new season was filmed in South Africa, Spain, and Mexico. The latest news is that the production for One Piece Season 2 has wrapped up.

What Is the Plot of One Piece Live-Action Season 2?

Netflix’s One Piece live-action Season 2 will continue to focus on the Straw Hat Pirates exploring the perilous oceans and visiting new islands during their adventures to find the legendary One Piece treasure. If you are looking for the official synopsis of the second season from Netflix, it is as follows:

Luffy and the Straw Hats set sail for the extraordinary Grand Line — a legendary stretch of sea where danger and wonder await at every turn. As they journey through this unpredictable realm in search of the world’s greatest treasure, they’ll encounter bizarre islands and a host of formidable new enemies.

More importantly, you can also find Luffy recruiting some fresh new members for the crew as well. Since the first season adapted the East Blue Saga (excluding the Logue Town arc), we will get to see this arc as the first one to get the live-action treatment in the next season.
