One Piece live-action fans fear cancelation after season 2

That’s exactly where the fans’ worries stem from. The shadow of Netflix’s previous cancelations looms large, leading to concerns that the platform might pull the plug on One Piece after just two seasons.

I am kinda curious at this scene in perticular bcz if they are going to follow the story till the laughtale then we maybe having one piece for the next 20-50 years or so. I don’t know that netflix would be around for that long but one piece would definitely be.

Initial reactions to the show (2021) were mixed, with viewers disagreeing about how well it adapted the original material. But as the episodes went on, the show started to take off and drew more and more viewers.

And currently, fans are eagerly awaiting confirmation of a second season (1,2,3,4,5). While Netflix has not officially announced Season 2, discussions among fans are already in full swing.

Such discussion posts have also in some manner become the site for fans to speculate about the series’ cancelation. Thanks to Netflix past records!

Probably cancelled after two seasons. Like a lot of netflix shows.

Here’s what the fans are speculating

People are basing their theories of cancelation of the One Piece series using Netflix’s alleged refusal to pay the actors’ royalties.

Others are speculating that the platform might decide to discontinue the show because of financial difficulties or a lack of new subscribers.

In addition, Netflix is going to need a huge budget in order to adapt upcoming scenes, according to one of the users. And if the platform decides to skip those parts then it will severely impact the essence of the show.

There’s no way they’re going to adapt when the characters powers get a lot more crazy, in east blue only Luffy and Buggy had DF powers(Smoker barely counts), to adapt something like marineford it would take Avengers budget, or if they start skipping parts where the things get crazy then it’s not one piece anymore.

Even if their worries and fears are valid, we shouldn’t assume that One Piece will be cancelled, at least until there is formal confirmation.

That said, we’ll keep tabs on the latest developments and update this article with noteworthy information.

11:56 am (IST): The One Piece creator has recently announced that seven more episodes (or maybe a whole new season) are on the way.
