One Piece season 2 debuted on Netflix last week, and as expected, the latest installment of the live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s hugely popular manga series has rocketed to the #1 spot on the streaming service’s Top 10 list. However, views are down when compared to the first season.
One Piece Season 2 on Netflix’s Top 10
In its first four days of availability, One Piece season 2 has become the most-watched TV title of the week with 16.8 million views and 136.2 million hours viewed. Impressive numbers, but it’s a slight decrease from the first season, which debuted with 18.5 million views in 2023.
The first season saw a bump in viewership as well, enough to land it at the #7 spot with 3.6 million views. Both seasons have debuted at #1 in Japan, the only English-language series to do so.
The new season, titled One Piece: Into the Grand Line, follows the adventurous pirates Luffy (Iñaki Godoy), Zoro (Mackenyu), Nami (Emily Rudd), Usopp (Jacob Romero), and Sanji (Taz Skylar) journey into an unpredictable new part of the ocean where a host of new — and deadly — adversaries await them on their quest to find treasure.
We Loved One Piece
Our own Steve Seigh had a blast with the second season of the series. “The show never shies away from its anime roots, choosing to revel in One Piece‘s swashbuckling silliness, extreme sense of style, and powerful messages of optimism, adventure, and making your dreams come true,” he wrote. “Hollywood often portrays pirates as crude, covetous villains of the high seas, but One Piece flies a different Jolly Roger, one that stands for exploration of strange lands, forging of unbreakable bonds, and limitless possibilities in the face of the impossible and strange. I can’t get enough of this series, and hope that Netflix continues to believe in it as much as Luffy does in his dream of one day becoming the King of the Pirates.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.
We’ve got more One Piece on the way, as Netflix has already renewed the series for a third season, which actually started production last year.
