One Piece fans are happy about the new rumors concerning the series. There are claims that it will return for more seasons.
Eiichiro Oda’s manga, One Piece, was a hit that it eventually scored a live-action adaptation on Netflix starring Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Emily Rudd as Nami, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Taz Skylar as Sanji, and Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp to name a few. New actors will be joining the second season, including Joe Manganiello, who will play Crocodile, one of the villains in the franchise. Understandably, many are already excited to watch One Piece Season 2, but online discussions suggest that seasons 3 and 4 are possible.

Netflix’s One Piece Star Drops Big Hint About The Future of the Series
One of the stars of Netflix’s hit anime adaptation had some interesting things to say about the future of One Piece.
According to fan account @OP_Netflix_Fan, the upcoming season would be shorter and as it would reportedly only have seven episodes. The first season has eight episodes, with each episode running for 40 minutes. The first season covered about 40 episodes from the anime. It was dense, but the storyline was so great that even those who didn’t read the manga loved the series. As for what the episodes will be about, one suggested the following — Lougetown (episode 1), Reverse Mountain (episode 2), Whiskey peak and the revelation of Mrs. Wednesday as Vivi (episodes 3 and 4), an intro about Ms. All Sunday and the Little Garden (episode 5), and Drum Island (episodes 6 and 7).
The claims that One Piece Season 2 will have fewer episodes also ignite the speculations that the series will return for more seasons. Vincent Regan, who plays Vice Admiral Garp, recently shared his filming experience for Season 2 in Cape Town, South Africa, when he appeared at Vienna Comic-Con. The Empire star said he was done filming his part and teased the possibility of Seasons 3 and 4. “I guess they’ll start filming season 3 pretty soon, and I think they are doing- I think it’s called the Albasta story arc. I think it’s going to take two seasons,” Regan shared.
If the second season has fewer episodes but the series returns for more seasons, it will be a great treat to fans. While there is no official word about the third and fourth seasons, the rumors are likely true. With One Piece Season 2 having fewer episodes and the franchise still having a lot to offer, it’s reasonable for One Piece to return for more seasons. The One Piece manga is not yet finished, and its anime version has been airing for 25 years already. It is currently in its 21st season. With the success of Netflix’s One Piece, it’s possible that the series will air beyond four seasons.
The inaugural season captured the original series’ heart and connected to brand new audiences. The show enabled the franchise to gain more fans. Now, many are waiting to witness the next adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates and be introduced to the new characters in the show. With the manga’s massive popularity, long-time fans and new advocates, One Piece will likely thrive on Netflix and return for more seasons.
