Netflix’s One Piece may have come out a couple of years ago, but that isn’t stopping the show from continuing to win awards for its phenomenal performance. This live-action adaption of one of the biggest anime in the industry struck chords with audiences everywhere for its amazing rendition of the story fans have all come to love and adore, with a stellar cast that was perfect for the roles of the original Straw Hat crew.
Thanks to the success of season 1, audiences are now waiting in anticipation for the next season, which will air at the end of the year. Filming and production have long since wrapped up, meaning that with the recent wins at the Emmys, Netflix could be swayed to release some teaser or hints about what to expect for season 2.
Netflix’s One Piece Scores A Win For Original Song and Stunt Coordination
With Nominations for Even More Categories
The awards that One Piece’s live-action obtained were for the Outstanding Original Song for a Children’s or Young Teen Program, “My Sails Are Set” featuring Aurora, and the Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Live Action Program. Season 1 was also nominated for approximately ten other categories for awards, such as Outstanding Casting, Costume Design/Styling, Hairstyling and Makeup, and many more.
It’s no surprise that One Piece managed to take home a few wins given “My Sails Are Set” scores heart-warming message that echoes the same sentiments as some of the respectable scores from Moana. Meanwhile, the series was praised for its excellent fight coordination with the battles being half of the excitement for a shōnen anime, such as One Piece. Between Zoro’s sword-fighting, Luffy’s Devil Fruit powers, and Nami herself even putting in the work during combat, the first few episodes managed to capture a well-coordinated fight for its adaptation.
One Piece’s Wins Amp Up Fans’ Excitement for Season 2
The End of the Year Couldn’t Come Fast Enough
One Piece‘s live-action Emmy wins showcase how this beloved show can be shared across many mediums, connecting families and being enjoyed by everyone, even those who may not be as familiar with anime as others. This is a crowning achievement for the franchise as it will not only go on to a second season, but with its success, fans can expect that Netflix will continue the story for as long as it’s in demand.
Although it hasn’t been given an official release date, One Piece‘s live-action adaptation for season 2 is said to arrive either at the end of 2025 or near the beginning of 2026. With its win at the Emmy’s, maybe it wouldn’t hurt to expect that a tease will appear to reward fans with a taste of what’s to come.
