One Piece: find out everything about the new Netflix series!

How about finding out everything about the new Netflix series that has always been a worldwide success and now promises to win people's hearts even more? Come and find out more about One Piece!

Many people claim that Hollywood is lacking creativity to create new films and series and that we are living in the era of adaptations, reboots, remakes and sequels that are not always necessary for the story.

This may even have some truth to it, as many original stories have lost ground to stories like this, but we can also say that adaptations are always welcome, as there are so many excellent stories out there that can be told through audiovisual media.

With the popularization of streaming, many good stories have gained space in series and miniseries formats, which is a very good thing, because this way it is possible to work more on the work, without having to chop it up too much and being able to work on the evolution of the characters.

Netflix usually brings many stories from books, manga and comics to the small screen and is often acclaimed by fans, as was the case with Sandman and Heartstopper, but what has arrived recently and has caused a lot of excitement among fans is the series inspired by the Japanese manga “One Piece”.

If you still don't know One Piece, or have heard of it but don't know the story, here we'll tell you everything you need to know about the live action series that is being acclaimed by critics and fans.

What is the story of One Piece?

The One Piece universe is huge and already has more than 100 mangas and more than 1,000 published chapters and this has already resulted in an anime with more than 20 seasons and more than 1,300 episodes and which still has no date to be completed.

Here, we are talking about the new live action series and in this first season the East Blue arc of the manga will gain more space to be developed and as many people who will watch the series may not know anything about the story, the main characters will be introduced and will be developed in this first season as well.

Let's meet the protagonist of “One Piece” who is Monkey D. Luffy begins his journey as a pirate who sets out in search of a mythical treasure that is called the name of the series.

The protagonist's goal is to become the king of the pirates, but he won't be able to do that, after all, no good pirate is alone, so he needs to recruit his crew to help him on this mission.

During this recruitment he meets Usopp, a very talented inventor, Sanji, a first-class cook, Roronoa Zoro and Nami, a thief with a unique talent for navigation.

During the first season we will also follow Arlong's fight against Luffy in this plot that is a delicious mix of fantasy and pirates and that will show all the adventures, dangers and enemies that this group will have to face to find the One Piece.

How to watch One Piece?

Production on the live-action series began over a year ago when it was announced on Netflix's social media and casting began, and since then we've had several announcements about the series.

During Netflix's TUDUM event in June 2023, the series gained a promotional stand and even a life-size boat from the series was set up so that fans could take photos.

The series' premiere date was also announced at the event, and a teaser was released to make fans even more curious. The date announced was August 31, 2023, meaning the series arrived yesterday and is now available for you to watch.

The first season of the series has eight episodes and they last approximately an hour, some a little longer and some a little shorter.

All episodes are now available on the Netflix platform and can now be watched by subscribers of any plan, from the plan with ads to the premium plan that allows you to watch the series in 4K.

Is One Piece renewed for a second season?

Despite being a huge success among anime and manga fans, “One Piece” has just arrived on Netflix and has not yet been renewed for a second season.

Every series on the platform needs some time for the metrics to be evaluated and to compare what was earned and what was spent to produce that content. If there is a profit at the end of this calculation, the series usually gets a new season.

Netflix usually waits at least 3 weeks after the release of a series to renew it for a new season, but this usually happens with series that are very successful. If the success is lukewarm, it may take a little longer for confirmation to arrive (around 3 months).

So, if you are a fan of the story, hurry up and watch it and help the series get a new season.

What is the impact of the series?

Another thing that is very important for the success of a series and its future renewals is the impact it has among the public and specialized critics.

But for fans, rest assured. The series is being acclaimed in both parts and praise is being heaped on all parts of the live action.

On Rotten Tomatoes, a website that gathers reviews from experts around the world, the series has an approval rating of 80% (with 35 reviews counted so far), but many reviews are still coming in and this number may change. The audience rating is 94% and already has more than 5 thousand reviews.

On IMDB, which is the website where you can find all audiovisual productions and make your evaluations, the series has a rating of 8.6 out of 10 and already has more than 15 thousand evaluations.

What is the cast of One Piece?

The series' cast doesn't have any big names, but that could be a good thing for the series, as new faces could bring a freshness to it.

The protagonist is Iñaki Godoy, who was in the hit Netflix series “Who Killed Sara?”. The other protagonists are Emily Rudd (Fear Street: 1978), Mackenyu (Pacific Rim: Uprising) and Jacob Romero (Greenleaf).
