Netflix’s One Piece Live Action Season 2 Got A Majestic Filming Update

On Tuesday, December 17, 2024, the filming of Netflix’s One Piece Live Action Season 2 wrapped (Via Comicbook). The most talked-about Netflix’s One Piece Live Action Season 2 was filming in Cape Town with the entire cast and crew. The first season of OPLA was a phenomenal hit, crashed many records and broke the years-long crash of anime live-action failure.

Netflix’s OPLA Season 1 was not only successful in the streaming platform but also ignited hope among others to continue producing anime’s live-action adaptation. It is one of the manga adaptations, given its fidelity to the source material, performance, and visuals.

One Piece Live Action Season 1 was the most-watched show on Netflix in the second half of 2023. Released on Thursday, August 31, 2023, on Netflix, OPLA Season 1 brought the storm in the entertainment industry. And just after two weeks of season 1 ended, Eiichiro Oda, the One Piece writer, illustrator and Executive Director, confirmed the series has been renowned for the second season. Since Eiichiro Oda is the Executive Director of the show, he took every possible step to ensure that the best series possible is delivered.

The filming started in South Africa, and the recent update suggests it has been wrapped up. The cast and crew had a celebration party in Cape Town. Natalie Walsh, a stuntwoman and actress from Cape Town, shared with three stuntmen and choreographers on her Instagram story: Nathan Barris, Shaun Verth, and Mcrae Douglas.

Although no official announcement has been made public, the wrap-up celebrated the key roles, likely excluding the main cast. The filming officially began in June 2024 and is expected to end in December, so it’s on schedule. However, the One Piece Live Action Season 2 won’t be available to stream till late 2025.

What To Expect From Netflix’s One Piece Live Action Season 2?

OPLA Season 2 is the next in the series and continues Luffy’s and the Straw Hat’s grand adventure to discover the Pirate King’s treasure, the “One Piece.” OPLA Season 1 covers the Romance Dawn, Shell Town, Orange Dawn, Syrup Village, Baratie, Arlong Park, and Loguetown Arc. The seven total arcs from the One Piece manga series. Fans can expect the upcoming season to cover the next five arcs, including Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Whiskey Peak, Whiskey Peak, and Drum Island.

As the story unfolds, new characters will join the Straw Hats: Nico Robin and Tonny Chopper. Despite the initial thought, the series confirmed it would adapt the Arasbasta Arc in Season 3. This allows Netflix to remain loyal to the manga without excluding the moments and characters. OPLA Season 1 ended on a cliffhanger with a serious man holding Luffy’s wanted poster. Fans can expect the identity of the character will be revealed in the upcoming season.

Further, the Straw Hats are making their way to the Grand Line and will face greater threats than ever. Fans can meet new characters, including one who will join the crew. Oda already teased in the announcement video that the crew will need a doctor. And this doctor happens to be the show’s most celebrated character. Not only that, but we will soon find out more about the King of the Pirates.

While One Piece Live Action follows the story from the manga, it has considerable changes. Hence, there’s no guarantee the scenes will play out exactly as Oda envisioned.
