La saison 2 de ‘One Piece’ a les scripts prêts, selon les producteurs.
Netflix’s “One Piece” has made a big splash since its debut, and now the producers of the live-action series are already preparing for a potential Season 2. Marty Adelstein, CEO of Tomorrow Studios, revealed that the scripts for the next season are ready and production could potentially begin within a year.
Season 2 in the Works
After the success of Season 1, the producers of “One Piece” are eager to continue the story with a second season. Marty Adelstein, the CEO of Tomorrow Studios, announced that scripts for Season 2 are already completed. If everything goes smoothly, the next season could be ready to air within a year.
Delays and Optimism
Although production for Season 2 is on hold due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, Tomorrow Studios president Becky Clements remains hopeful. Once the strike is resolved, she expects Season 2 to premiere as early as next year. However, the exact timeline will depend on the progress of production.
“Somewhere between a year and 18 months, we could be ready for air,” Clements said. Despite possible delays, the team remains optimistic and ready to bring the “One Piece” universe to life once again.
Overview of “One Piece”
“One Piece” is set in a fantastical world where pirates and marines battle for control over the Blue Sea. The story follows Monkey D. Luffy, a young boy who dreams of becoming the king of the pirates. Despite being unable to swim due to a side effect of eating a magical fruit, Luffy sets out on a journey to find the legendary “one piece” treasure.
Along the way, Luffy forms a crew known as the Straw Hat Pirates and secures his ship, the Going Merry. Their adventures in the East Blue section of the sea captivate viewers as they search for the treasure and encounter both friends and foes.
Positive Reception and Hopes for Renewal
Netflix has been thrilled with the success of Season 1 of “One Piece.” The show quickly climbed to the top of the English-language TV series on the platform, accumulating 18.5 million views in just four days. While official news of Season 2 renewal has yet to be announced, Adelstein and Clements believe a pickup is likely based on the show’s reception.
“With Netflix’s support of the title, we expected it to be number one and we sensed their research and algorithms probably saw the possibility for that,” said Clements. “But in our subsequent calls post-launch, we have been told that we have exceeded expectations, which is also fantastic.”
Even though Netflix has not commented on the status of Season 2, the producers remain optimistic. They anticipate that the positive audience response and Netflix’s support will lead to a renewal.
Proving the Series’ Potential
The success of “One Piece” has been a major victory for Tomorrow Studios, especially after the cancellation of their previous adaptation, “Cowboy Bebop.” Adelstein and the team are now focused on proving that “One Piece” deserves a second season by maintaining its initial viewership numbers and attracting new fans.
Adelstein emphasized the importance of broadening the show’s audience and appealing to viewers who may not be familiar with the original manga or anime. The series stands on its own and has already attracted a wide range of viewers, including families.
“I think what it would need to do, and it’s been doing, is broadening out. We’re getting a lot of family viewing and that is really the key, is to bring in the non-fans and people who aren’t aware of the IP because the show stands on its own and you get people to watch it and people really love it,” Adelstein said.
In conclusion, the producers are eagerly awaiting the decision from Netflix regarding Season 2 of “One Piece.” With scripts already completed and a dedicated fanbase, they are confident that the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates will continue to captivate audiences around the world.
