Netflix\u2019s One Piece co-showrunner breaks silence on Season 2 NetflixA few weeks after the official announcement of Netflix\u2019s One Piece Season 2, co-showrunner Matt Owens has shared the first updates about the upcoming episodes. Netflix\u2019s most successful live-action adaptation series, One Piece, is all set for its sequel. The second season is currently under production. It was renewed two weeks after the series debuted and created quite a buzz on the internet. Season 2 was announced with Eiichiro Oda\u2019s video message, thanking global fans for their support. Oda also teased Chopper\u2019s introduction, which more or less confirms that Season 2 will adapt the Arabasta Saga. The Saga follows Luffy and his crew all the way to the Grand Line, with more dangerous enemies. Because of the WGA strike that lasted for a few weeks, there have been no updates about the series since then. Now that it\u2019s finally, Netflix\u2019s One Piece co-showrunner shares the first updates about Season 2. Netflix\u2019s One Piece co-showrunner Matt Owens shares the theme of Season 2 In an interview with Deadline, Matt Owens was asked about the overarching themes of Season 2. He said: \u201cWithout saying too much and speaking to any new characters that we might meet, I would say a major theme that we\u2019re working with in Season 2 is the challenge of leadership. From Luffy\u2019s perspective, he\u2019s got his crew now, and they are setting out to the Grand Line. \u201cThey\u2019re doing the thing, and there are a lot of challenges that come with that responsibility. And that theme ties into some other stories and characters that I won\u2019t give away just yet. But the challenge and leadership is a big theme for us in Season 2.\u201d The new cast of One Piece Season 2 has yet to be finalized In the same interview, Matt Owens also shared, \u201cNo one\u2019s been cast yet not only because of both strikes going on but we were still early in the process; we weren\u2019t beyond talking about potential, digging into the characters, talking about who they are, maybe coming up with a couple of comps. But no, we had not gotten into any actual casting yet for Season 2.\u201d He further shared his thoughts on casting Jamie Lee Curtis as Kureha. \u201cWe have opportunities to stunt cast some roles, some rules that are very important, and it came out that Jamie Lee Curtis is a One Piece fan,\u201d he continued. \u201cAs soon as she said that, we were like, okay, we have to try and get her on the show. What can we do? And Doctor Kureha, very luckily, is a character who is coming up in our story and is someone who is perfect for Jamie Lee Curtis. \u201cSo we tried to start manifesting this dream of ours. After she won her Oscar, the writers\u2019 room sent her a figure of Doctor Kureha with a nice note that said, Congratulations on your statue; here\u2019s another one to put next to it. Hope to speak to you soon. \u201cWhen she reposted that, it got a lot of fan interest, and I commented on it. We\u2019re trying to manifest it. Yes, as of right now, SAG is still striking, so there have not been real conversations. But as soon as there can be, I\u2019m ready. I will take her out to dinner; we\u2019ll talk about it. We\u2019ll do all of it because, at this point, we\u2019re writing for her \u2014 we really, really want her to come and play with us in Season 2.\u201d How far has the One Piece Season 2 script progressed? It seems there\u2019s still a way to go before the scripts are ready and finalized. Matt Owens also shares the status of One Piece Season 2 scripts. \u201cWe did start our Season 2 writers room for a little bit before the strike,\u201d he explained. \u201cWe didn\u2019t get much further than starting to plan out what the season was going to be and got a couple of outlines done. But that\u2019s as far as we got. So, there are not actually any scripts for the season that are done. It\u2019s still going to take some time.\u201d \u201cWe are now back up and running as of this week, and we\u2019re going to try and take the appropriate time that we need to get it right, but we\u2019re going to try and get stuff up and running again as soon as possible. The writers\u2019 room is up and running, yes, getting scripts done so that we can get into design work, scheduling, and pre-production, all of that kind of stuff.\u201d One Piece live-action is currently streaming on Netflix, and the anime is available on Crunchyroll.
