There's no denying that One Piece Live-Action Season 1 (read our review) was a game-changer for live-action adaptations. The show's massive success led to an immediate renewal for Season 2 and pre-production is already underway. Today, an unexpected update has arrived confirming that a new writer will be joining the pirate crew as co-showrunner.
One Piece Live Action Season 2 Ace Confirmed?
The first season of the One Piece Live-Action series was developed by showrunners Matt Owens and Steve Maeda. Now, the latter has decided to become an executive producer for the upcoming season 2.
As a result, the recent "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" fame Joe Tracz has boarded the ship as a co-creator along with Matt Owens for One Piece Live-action season 2. Previously, he also worked on many famous Netflix projects such as Dash & Lily, A Series of Unfortunate Events, etc. Upon joining the cast, Joe shared his excitement in an official statement (via Deadline):
"I've been lucky enough to work on major adaptations of several beloved series, and they don't get bigger or more beloved than One Piece. I'm a huge fan of Oda-san's incredible imagination, and I was blown away by what the live-action team created in season one. So it's a dream and a joy to come aboard the Going Merry as it enters the Grand Line for an even more gigantic season two."
