Creator and illustrator Eiichiro Oda confirms the hugely popular show will return, hoisting its sails with more adventures.
Co-showrunner Steven Maeda and VFX supervisors Victor Scalise and Scott Ramsey took extra-special care crafting the live-action series adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s famed 106-volume manga and 20-season anime series, noting huge risks tackling the beloved property while mindful of the long list of failed anime-to-live-action efforts that preceded them.
The adaptation, starring Christian Slater as the evil ogre Mulgarath, Joy Bryant as loving matriarch Helen Grace, and Lyon Daniels and Noah Cottrell as twins Jared and Simon, will be shopped to a new home network after being dropped by the Mouse House due to cost cutting.
The streamer continues teasing the August 31 series debut with video featuring the original anime ‘Straw Hat’ cast; creator Oda-Sensei shares a message to ‘Crank up the volume’ and enjoy!
