For the second season of the live-action series "ONE PIECE", a making-of video has been released, offering insights into the production and the atmosphere on set. The series, based on the world-famous manga by Eiichiro Oda, who also serves as executive producer, is expected to be released on Netflix in 2026.
The plot of the second season will lead the "Straw Hat Crew" into the Grand Line. This sea region is known for its unpredictable weather conditions, fantastic creatures, and the gathering of pirates from all over the world. Settings will include, among others, Loguetown, Reverse Mountain, Twin Capes, Whisky Peak, and Little Garden.
The cast members are enthusiastic about the filming. Iñaki Godoy, who plays Monkey D. Luffy, shares his anticipation and announces that the new season will be "bigger and more entertaining." Mackenyu, in the role of Roronoa Zoro, promises more intense action and further impressive appearances by the Straw Hat Crew. Emily Rudd (Nami) emphasizes that the crew grew into a "family" during the first season and that this bond of trust will become even deeper in the second season. Jacob Romero Gibson, who portrays Usopp, highlights the emotional and humorous aspects of the plot and describes the series as "a big adventure story that makes you laugh and cry" with an important message. Taz Skylar (Sanji) sees a central message in always staying true to your dreams, regardless of others' opinions.
Behind the cameras, the actors invested a lot of dedication into their roles. Jacob Romero Gibson trained intensively with a slingshot to be able to portray Usopp's precision authentically. Taz Skylar not only completed demanding action training for Sanji's fighting style but also culinary training with a professional chef to credibly fill the role of the cook.
The making-of video conveys the team-oriented spirit among the cast, which reflects the close bond of the crew from the series. The production of the second season appears to be even more ambitious than the first, with more elaborate action sequences and an expanded world.
