Netflix's live-action adaptation of One Piece, which is based on one of the biggest anime shows and mangas not just in Japan but globally, has quickly ascended the ranks to become the streaming giant's most-watched show in its initial two weeks. This surge in popularity comes even without a formal announcement of a Season 2, although it's all pretty much confirmed that at least one more season is coming with the scripts for the next one already finished.
As fans wait for Netflix to give One Piece the green light, the show's producers, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements, are feeding into the hype. The two, who are obviously huge fans of the source material, could barely contain their enthusiasm for the show and its future in a brief sit-down with Deadline. Adelstein, in particular, expressed hope for as many as 12 seasons, emphasizing the immense content available: "We have hopes for 12 seasons, there's so much material." This sentiment was mirrored by Clements, who highlighted that the manga has a whopping 1,080 chapters, suggesting that even six seasons might only utilize half of the available material.
