(Deadline recommended six seasons, however she was evasive on specifics.) All of it depends upon Netflix and different companions hungering for extra, however she referred to as Owens “creatively ready” to maintain One Piece going for some time.
As for once we’ll see season two, Clements mentioned they’re a “very long time out.” Manufacturing will proceed by way of December, and this can be a “VFX-heavy 12 months” in leisure. To tide your self over, you could as nicely go on and watch the animated model, and even learn the manga. Likelihood is you’ll be all caught up by the point Netflix places out the following season.
