Owens, who previously announced the resumption of pre-production for One Piece Season 2, has been placing a significant emphasis on crafting the scripts. This ensures that the process of set construction and scheduling can soon kick into high gear. Owens candidly acknowledged that the writing process will require some time, as the team was only able to complete a few story outlines before the Writers Guild of America strike.

Furthermore, Owens offered intriguing insights into what fans can anticipate when One Piece returns with fresh episodes. While remaining discreet about specific details and any potential new characters, Owens emphasized a central theme for Season 2: the challenges of leadership. He hinted at the formidable obstacles that the pirate crew, led by Luffy, will encounter as they venture into the perilous Grand Line.
From Luffy's perspective, he now has a loyal crew by his side, and they are embarking on their journey into the Grand Line. However, the weight of responsibility comes with a host of challenges. This theme, according to Owens, will intertwine with various other stories and characters that he refrained from revealing at this stage. The theme of leadership challenges is poised to play a significant role in Season 2's narrative.
Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos shared the remarkable difficulty the company faced in casting the role of Monkey D. Luffy. He referred to Inaki Godoy, who ultimately secured the role, as one of the most challenging casting decisions in the history of Netflix's original programming. Godoy was already part of the Netflix talent family, having appeared in the popular Mexican series, "Who Killed Sara?". Sarandos highlighted how Godoy has since become a global sensation, thanks to his compelling performance. One Piece director Marc Jobst added that Godoy brought heart, warmth, and an undeniable chemistry to the character, endearing viewers to Luffy.
For those eager to dive into the world of One Piece, all eight episodes of Season 1 are readily available for streaming on Netflix.
