“One Piece” editor Eric Litman is “so excited to get involved” in the live-action Netflix version of the popular Japanese manga series by Eiichiro Oda, which was also turned into an animated TV show in 1999. Litman had previously collaborated with co-showrunner Matt Owens on Marvel’s “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.” so he was happy to continue their working relationship on the new pirate-themed project. “When I finally got the call that they wanted to bring me on, I was just absolutely beyond myself,” the editor tells us. Watch the exclusive video interview above.
Litman calls it a “responsibility” and an “honor” to be a part of such a world-renowned franchise, adding, “You want to make sure you do right by the fans.” As he explains, “Anime hasn’t always translated well in the past. And we wanted to make sure that the fans really responded well to the show, and the...

Jacob Romero starred in the TV series Greenleaf, which aired from 2019 to 2020. He played the role of Aj Delajae in 15 episodes of the series. However, he did not gain prominence as an actor until he starred as the braggart marksman, Usopp.
Romero, best known for his performance in the Netflix series One Piece, has recently given a sneak peek into the show’s second season. By answering fan queries and giving potential Season 2 spoilers, the actor gave an insight into quite a few things.
Romero along with his One Piece castmates enthralled the audiences with the live-action series. In a video for Netflix released on YouTube on Usopp’s birthday, Romero gave a sneak peek of the much-anticipated Season 2.

Upon his debut as the face of Netflix’s live-action One Piece series, Iñaki Godoy impressed everyone with his portrayal of Monkey D. Luffy, the amiable and upbeat leader of the Straw Hat Pirates and a highly recognizable manga and anime character. Despite his extensive experience as a star in Telemundo’s series La querida del Centauro and Netflix’s The Imperfects, the young actor was still relatively unknown.
Nevertheless, it is inspiring to see a 20-year-old succeed to this extent (he presently has over 2.5 million Instagram followers). The fantasy adventure series, which was based on the well-known Japanese manga series, made the Mexican actor extremely popular among youths.

Any actor, though, is aware that a single role does not define a career. Though Godoy is appreciative of the chance to bring Luffy to life, he is aware that he is capable of so much more.

Based on Japan’s bestselling manga series in history, which has sold more than 500 million copies globally, the adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s sprawling tale currently has one of Netflix’s highest audiences scores ever.
But before Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) could sail across the East Blue to search for the mysterious One Piece treasure, he had to assemble his very own pirate gang for the adventure. And much like the young pirate captain in One Piece, showrunners Matt Owens and Steve Maeda had to find their own crew of actors who’d be able to bring the same spirit of Eiichiro...

After the disaster that was M. Night Shyamalan‘s adaptation of Nickelodeon’s brilliant animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Netflix is here with another adaptation and the hopes for this one are kind of high because the last Netflix live-action adaptation of One Piece was loved by new and existing fans of the IP. Avatar: The Last Airbender follows the adventures of a young boy named Aang, who is the world’s only hope to defeat the tyrannical Fire Nation. To do that he has to master all of the elements and in this adventure, he is helped by Katara and Zukko. While, Netflix’s live-action adaptation is not a direct adaptation of the animated series, as it is much more of a dramatic and visual feast than the comedic animated adventure like the animated series.

In what was probably their first Hollywood red carpet appearance post-strike, One Piece cast members Iñaki Godoy and Jacob Romero showed up at the premiere for Netflix’s new live-action series, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and teased where season 2 could go.
While the duo largely remained mum on start of production plans for Season 2, which is expected to begin filming relatively soon, and whether they have seen scripts. One Piece co-showrunner Matt Owens told Deadline back in October that the Season 2 writers room had met briefly before the WGA strike, with the team getting into writing scripts after the end of the work stoppage this past fall. Romero confirmed the Straw Hats’ mission next season.

Netflix’s adaptation of One Piece into a live-action series last summer wasn’t just a hit – it topped the charts as the most in-demand show of 2023. The pressure was immense, given the massive popularity of Eiichiro Oda’s original manga and its anime version. But Netflix’s series didn’t just meet expectations; it soared past them, quickly becoming a streaming sensation.
Since its debut, One Piece has been a juggernaut on Netflix, even securing a second season thanks to its overwhelming success. According to Parrot Analytics and The Wrap, the series’ demand was 52.8 times higher than many other streaming shows in the first 30 days of its US release.

This isn’t just a flash in the pan. One Piece’s live-action series not only leads the pack in Netflix’s streaming charts but also outshines other popular 2023 releases.

After Curtis announced on Instagram that she intends to ask for the role once the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes have concluded, showrunner Matt Owens commented, “Mommy dearest, that’s why we sent you that figure! No need to lobby.”
Owens continued, “Once we get what we deserve and get back to work, let’s talk!”

Netflix’s One Piece, the live-action adaptation of the popular manga and anime series, has been officially renewed for a second season. The streaming platform announced the news with a video message from the creator of One Piece, Eiichiro Oda, who expressed his gratitude to the fans and the production team1.
One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a young pirate who dreams of finding the legendary treasure called One Piece and becoming the King of the Pirates. Along with his crew of misfits, known as the Straw Hat Pirates, he sails across the vast ocean, facing enemies and allies, and exploring different islands and cultures.

There’s a version of “One Piece” that follows Eiichiro Oda’s original manga more closely. In the original story, the East Blue Saga chronicles Luffy and his pirate crew’s adventures right until they hit Loguetown, the last big port before they hit the Grand Line — a stretch of sea known for bigger, badder pirates and more impressive treasure.
It’s a storytelling formula that’s common in manga. You spend the first major arc building up your hero and introducing viewers to the stakes of this world and end the story right before the next major challenge. But instead of ending with a multi-enemy fight at Loguetown, the first season of Netflix’s live-action “One Piece” stops right before that, ending with Luffy’s (Iñaki Godoy) fight with Arlong (McKinley Belcher III). The culprit? Berries — er, money.

Just two weeks after the premiere of One Piece, Netflix has officially announced the live-action series has been renewed for season two. One Piece‘s creator and illustrator Eiichiro Oda even shot a short video – with the help of a Transponder Snail – confirming the good news. Oda hinted that season two will find the Straw Hat crew in need of a doctor, and then drew Tony Tony Chopper.
Oda’s message also asked fans, both those who love the popular Manga and those who were just introduced to Monkey D. Luffy and his ragtag crew, to be patient. The ongoing writers and actors strike is going to push back the start of production for the just-announced second season.
Eiichiro Oda’s full message:
“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.

Fans had every right to approach Netflix and Tomorrow Studios’ One Piece with trepidation. Live-action adaptations of anime and manga have had a troubled history of just being downright terrible, with some of them like Adam Wingard’s Death Note coming from Netflix themselves. Fans were on high alert from the moment the streamer announced an adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s beloved One Piece manga. However, as more information such as castings came to light and that first trailer dropped, I found myself doing something very much in the spirit of the Straw Hat Pirates: against all the odds, I dared to dream – and those dreams were answered.
For the unfamiliar, the basic gist of One Piece is that it’s an action-adventure series following Monkey D. Luffy, (Iñaki Godoy) a joy-filled pirate who sets out to sea in search of his dream – finding a legendary treasure and becoming the next King of the Pirates.

On the heels of its splashy debut, the producers behind Netflix’s “One Piece” say scripts for a possible Season 2 are completed and that the next season could be “ready to air” in a year, once production is able to begin.
“We’ve got scripts ready,” Marty Adelstein, CEO of Tomorrow Studios, which produces the live-action “One Piece” in partnership with manga creator Eiichiro Oda and publisher Shueisha, told Variety Thursday.
Though production on a potential second season would not be able to begin until the SAG-AFTRA strike against the AMPTP has been resolved, Tomorrow Studios president Becky Clements says once they’re allowed to get going again, Season 2 could launch as early as next year.
“Realistically, hopefully, a year away, if we move very quickly, and that is a possibility,” Clements said. “Somewhere between a year and 18 months, we could be ready for air.”

Jobst has dabbled in some extremely exciting worlds across these many series, but none compare to the epic undertaking that he’s experienced in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of anime sensation, One Piece.
Marc Jobst, working alongside One Piece’s executive producers Matt Owens and Steven Maeda, has helped bring to life a special world of superpowered pirates that many said was impossible. Jobst directed One Piece’s first two episodes and in honor of the show’s premiere, he gets candid with Den of...

Exclusive: It’s been less than 24 hours since One Piece debuted on Netflix, but the buzz surrounding the series already fairly strong.
The 10-episode series launched on the streamer Thursday and, to celebrate, Netflix held fan events in 10 cities around the globe that drew thousands of straw hat pirates. Things kicked off in Los Angeles on August 24 and have traveled across the seas (much like Monkey D. Luffy himself) to hit Paris, Tokyo, Milan, Bangkok and more.
The events are just one part of an extensive campaign that Netflix has launched in support of the manga adaptation, which is expected to be quite popular.
As is expected in 2023, the streamer is also leaning heavily on social media to engage the fandom during launch and throughout the premiere weekend. In addition to its own social media assets, Netflix has also partnered with influencers across the globe to connect with current One Piece...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers through Episode 2 of “One Piece,” now streaming on Netflix.
When Marc Jobst came on as director and executive producer of “One Piece,” Netflix and Tomorrow Studios’ adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s iconic pirate manga, he had a clear connection to the gig early on, as he had directed multiple episodes of the high-seas drama “Black Sails.” That show, which ran for four season on Starz, features several of the ships that Netflix commandeered to refashion into the bright and colorful ones used in “One Piece.”
While the series’ crew was handling that overhaul, Jobst was working to create an overall aesthetic for the “blue skies” adaptation of “One Piece” that also allowed for the natural incorporation of the manga’s darkest elements, including villain Buggy the Clown (Jeff Ward).
Buggy is a nemesis that teenage aspiring pirate king Monkey D. Luffy (Iñaki Godoy) and...

On paper, adapting “One Piece” — a manga filled with rubbery protagonists, giant swords, fish people and flamboyant costumes — for live-action seems like a task as foolish as trying to become King of the Pirates. But for Tomorrow Studios CEO Marty Adelstein and partner/president Becky Clements, it was a challenge they couldn’t resist.
“Because it was such a big piece of IP, beloved all over the world, we’re basically masochists,” Adelstein joked to TheWrap. “We just felt that there was a way forward to do it. And if it could be done, it would resonate with all the fans around the world. It was a challenge we couldn’t not pursue.”
It’s also a challenge that’s already paid off, at least on some level. In early January, the teams at Tomorrow Studios and ITV Studios hosted a screening attended by “One Piece’s” creator, artist Eiichiro Oda.

From Daredevil and Luke Cage to The Witcher and now One Piece, Marc Jobst has quietly become one of Netflix’s most prolific directors.
Born in Zimbabwe, the One Piece director/executive producer has now worked on seven Netflix series, and he has Luke Cage to thank in particular for this latest collaboration. In 2018, Jobst directed Cage’s season two episode, “Wig Out,” which was written by Matt Owens, One Piece’s co-showrunner. Owens never forgot the way Jobst handled the varying tones of his Cage episode, so that encounter led to Jobst directing the first two episodes of One Piece and setting the tone for the entire series, which released on Thursday.
“Out of the blue, I got this phone call asking if I would be interested in coming to talk about shooting One Piece. And what Matt [Owens] told me was, it was partly because of the fact that...
