After the huge success of the live-action adaptation of the popular series One Piece, fans have developed high hopes and anticipation for the second season. Many people have appreciated the work done on the 1st season with the cast, graphics, storyline, and characters. And the easter egg left in the last episodes has got the fans to think about season 2 and how the creators need to upgrade their work to get a better result and review for the next season.
Although the hype and hints about season 2 are at their peak, the creators of the series Matt Owens and Steven Maeda might have some different plans. In a recent interview with Variety, Creator Maeda was asked whether he and Owens have planned out a second season and his answer was a little bit disappointing for the fans.
Steven Maeda’s Response to Smoker’s Entry in Season 1
While talking about the hints of season 2 in the first season and the future of the series Steve Maeda’s cryptic response has left the fans to wonder. In the interview with Variety, he said:
“I don’t want to confirm or deny at this point(Smoker’s appearance in Season 1). But it’s a good mystery, I think, and should have people guessing and wondering what’s going on.”
Creator Maeda has neither confirmed nor denied the appearance of Smoker in the first season, and this has led the fans to believe that there might be a season 2 forthcoming. There is no official response from Netflix or the series head, but the characters and other associates have left little leaks about the new series.

When asked about the plans of the series, creator Maeda’s bleak response has disappointed a lot of fans. Including reasons like needing a minute “to catch their breath before steering farther out to sea” and the writer’s strike, he said:
“It’s a worthwhile ask — and answers will be forthcoming. I don’t want to speak on the continuation of One Piece at this point, just because this first season was such a bear. It was a wonderful challenge, but it took years out of our lives and I want to let the focus be on that for the launch.”
Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece was developed till the Arlong Park for the first season and the fans suspect that the second season, if made will include the adventures of Luffy from the Alabasata Saga, which would require a lot more work and analysis for the series. To make it worthy like the first season, creators Owens and Maeda will need to work a lot more than the first season.
