One Piece Live Action season 2 teases more information for Netflix’s Geeked Week

On Thursday, August 1, 2024, the X (formerly Twitter) account for the One Piece Live Action adaptation teased news for season 2 during Netflix’s Geeked Week 2024. Although the post did not directly confirm the series’ appearance, it did encourage fans to mark their calendars for the week of the event, strongly suggesting its presence.

Geeked Week holds a significant place in the series’ history, as it was the platform where the adaptation first unveiled its major promotional videos in 2022. It is expected that One Piece Live Action season 2 will follow suit and utilize Geeked Week as their primary means of updating fans.

One Piece Live Action Season 2 News to Be Revealed During September’s Geeked Week

With the date of Netflix’s 2024 Geeked Week in mind, it is reasonable to assume that a major announcement will be made during the event regarding the highly-anticipated season 2 of One Piece Live Action. This aligns with the timeline of the previous season’s announcement, which was made approximately 1 year prior. Additionally, given that filming commenced in June of this year, it is possible that a trailer will be ready to be unveiled at the event, potentially giving fans a sneak peek into the Straw Hats’ adventures in the Grand Line.

The upcoming second season is expected to kick off with an adaptation of the Loguetown arc, where Luffy and his crew will embark on their journey into the Grand Line using Reverse Mountain. There have been speculations, yet to be confirmed, that the filming for the second and third seasons will take place consecutively, and this may be officially announced during Geeked Week. If this is the case, fans can anticipate a faster release of the third season compared to the gap between the first and second seasons.

The announcement of its new castings has sparked much discussion around the second season. Among the new cast members, the choice for Nico Robin has caused some division while other characters like Crocus, Dorry, Brogy, and others have been met with less controversy. More cast members are expected to be announced, as many characters set to appear in the second season still remain unnamed.

Despite the series’ producers’ wishes to cast her, Jamie Lee Curtis will not be appearing in season 2. In a recent interview, the producers confirmed that Curtis’ schedule did not align with the filming block for the second season, leading them to go in a different direction. Although some may doubt this explanation, it is unlikely to be a deception.

Despite concerns from fans about its longevity, Netflix’s adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga series is widely considered to be one of the greatest anime/manga adaptations of all time. The production team remains optimistic and plans to create at least six seasons of the series.
