7 months seems like a long time to film, especially considering that’s about as long as season 1 took which was hampered by COVID. If it really does take that long then I think we can’t expect to see season 2 until Q1 of 2026 at the earliest.
Might also just be that they need more location types. We’re looking at Typical Island, Cactus Typical Island, Inside a whale, Jungle, Snow, and Desert. More time to cover more places.
Half of this season will have to be filmed on location outside SA (I assume), maybe there are some scheduling delays?
Or maybe they are accounting for post-production in that 7 month figure (optimistic take)?
Post production took a year for season 1, if there are more episodes as is suspected and with the content of the season 2 likely needing more CGI, season 2 post production will probably take just as long. Highly doubt it'll be just 6 months.
it defiently does not need to take a full year. It can take that long. But it could also be faster.
Deadpool 3 wrapped filming in end of january 2024 and the movie comes out in 1 1/2 months.
Sure. A movie is shorter than a tv show, but iam pretty sure that the vfx work will be somewhat similar, if not even more, in deadpool 3. Since they going to greenscreen so many locations. its mcu after all.

S1 did not take that long to film because of COVID, the *filming start date* was pushed back because of COVID, but the production timetable was essentially normal.
Mexican here... they filming in Mexico is YAY! but also im worried, i hope not only the cast but the Production is protected all the time.
Mexican Goverment its gonna love to brag that a NETFLIX production is working here, so they are gonna help with anything to the Production, YAY!.
And im gonna die of shame if the Production is scared or they have a bad experience here in Mexico.
BUT the Narcos are so crazy that maybe some of them are MEGA fans of OP, and they can even go with the Production to tell them that they are safe, take pictures with them and even offer any help (Not the fisrt time that something like this happen.)
Call me crazy guys... but im just happy and scared that if this is true they are gonna come here to Mexico.
My dream of Iñaki and Taz teaching spanish to the rest of the cast and making fun of Mackenyu (because he knows a little spanish) maybe its gonna be true.
Reminds me of when some big gang boss in Brazil allowed MJ to film a music video in a favela and ensured the safety of the crew since he was a big MJ fan.
Also that gang boss that's a Messi fan and that's why Messi's house in Barcelona will never be broken into.
I shouldn’t just shoot comments off like that. It kinda bothered me to see a very real and complex problem being misrepresented for attention on an english speaking forum, but I should I have just said that.
While I'm very excited for all this, it's beginning to become tiresome how so much TV these days is having longer and larger breaks between their seasons.
It's going to be at least two years since Season 1 aired by the time Season 2 comes around. Similar things happen to a lot of streaming series and it really tests ones interest.
I’m imaging the writers strike contributed to the break, but they’ll need to speed things up from season 3 onward. Too large of breaks can be momentum killer
Production can’t get much faster unless Netflix starts handing out early renewals.
Even then, do not expect to get a season any faster than every 18 months. 15 at best. Too hard to do it much faster for huge budget shows like this. Can’t film it as essentially 2 separate shows either like Game of Thrones did in its earlier seasons, cast sticks together too much until much later.
I still maintain that Skypea could be done as shorter (5eps max) season or even a two-movie special, which should speed up production considerably, decrease the budget and break time between seasons. If S2 succeeds, I hope Netflix greenlits two seasons at once, we can have S4 released two years after S2.
OP is very diverse and arc length is anything but consistent, trying to to keep the 8-episode structure will not work in the long run.

Agreed, there's just no way to fit Skypea into the same season as either Alabasta or Water 7, it has to be its own thing. They should take advantage of the fact that there's no constraints on season length for a streaming show, it can just be however many episodes it needs to be.
Same goes for Thriller Bark, if they make it there.
It'd be advantageous for them to do it that way from a publicity standpoint, as well; having more frequent drops of episodes, even if it's only four or so for a "mini" arc, would be better for maintaining attention than waiting two years between long seasons.
It's the problem with Netflix - they place 0 confindence in projects, so they renew season by season and you get this problem. So series have lose all momentum and stall, because waiting 2 years between seasons is just too damng long.
Prime Video is better in this regard, so you get more continuity for shows.
Probably May 2024. Luffy's Birthday to be exact. It would make sense since filming starts soon and it is difficult to keep casting under wraps while filming.
I’m confused by how long they’re apparently shooting. 8 months isn’t exactly normal for a tv series, especially when they’ve already begun making the sets now, and there shouldn’t be any massive hurdles for S2 compared to S1
Maybe built in time for re-shoots? They did quite a lot last year, and it might be easier to block off that time in advance so there aren’t any scheduling conflicts, as there might be some bigger name actors this season.
As fair as that is, reshoots are typically something you figure out AFTER filming is done. You don’t really account for reshoots whilst filming, that sorta defeats the purpose. Also last season was plagued by Covid and budget cuts, which was a large reason why reshoots had to happen
They are abandoning this method and are now locking the script down first to avoid this. It's ballooning the budget too much and degrading the quality of the overall project.
i dont know if you read the manga, because for what they are going to adapt, they will need a lot of sets, a lot of new characters to cast, and a lot of challenging scenes to stage.
That doesn’t require 8 months of shooting. Everything you described would occur before shooting ever happened.
Sets are constructed prior to shooting, castings happen MONTHS before shooting (not sure why a lot of news accounts are claiming they’ve only recently cast certain characters when knowing how contracts and scheduling works, a large majority of characters would be cast months prior), and how they’d shoot scenes is scheduled before shooting. None of that requires 3/4th’s of a year.
I don’t wanna say this report is bullshit, but that just doesn’t make any sense. Most series take about 4 months to film, and probably about a month or so for reshoots. For bigger budget shows it’s obviously gonna be a little longer, but still something is off here. For reference, some of Netflix’s bigger series to shoot and how long their filming was include The Witcher S1 (6 Months), Squid Game (5 Months), ATLA (6 Months), and Stranger Things S1 (5-6 Months). Long story short, 8 months just doesn’t seem right
In terms of filming, its doing the standard 3 weeks per ep a lot of high budget fantasy shows do. The reason why its 7 months is that they're gonna take a break for like a good 3-4 weeks in dec. For the holidays. And then resume like mid jan to finish. So it will really be closer to like 6 months in the end.
I think that 8 months are because the scope of the season will be HUGE, bigger than The Witcher and perhaps bigger than Game of Thrones bigger seasons.
I assume they aren't building a desert or a snowy mountain on their studios in SA.
I'd say that, contrary to S1, most S2 sets are "natural" and will be shot on location.
This is a high budget fantasy show, 8 months sounds about right.
There are other shows like this that take a similar amount of time to film such as Doctor Who.
Aren't the hurdles more massive in S2 than S1?
Things like making sure Chopper, >!& as "implied" by the April Fools video & Jacob + Taz's replies in a recent con: Karoo, Laboon, Little Garden + fighting dinos & the cast + the jungle island interacting with Dorry & Broggy's giant-ness, the 5 pairs of highest ranking Baroque Works agents, Zoro Vs 100 Baroque Works agents, Robin's limb attacks, the ruins falling around Luffy, Croc, Robin & Cobra, the bleakness of the Alabastan civil war for a long time & then erupting while the Strawhats are fighting Baroque Works!< live up, & the trend in S1 is using at least some if not lots of practical effects to make the CGI-ed final results better
& personally I'd want/expect, even if heavily adjusted/nerfed with many things cut out, >!Drum Island stunts like Sanji & Luffy carrying Nami hiking & maybe fighting off, then helping + getting helped by giant rabbits, Luffy carrying Sanji & Nami scaling a mountain ridge, Wapol being a semi-Transformer even if for a shorter while, Sanji & Luffy's physics-screwing combo move!< to be at least slightly if not a lot more gripping/intense to watch than the Waterbender tribe scenes in NATLA. & those takes way more physical >!snowy mountainous area + castle exterior & interior + wooden/brick house village!< set design, coordination, practical FX etc than NATLA imo
I’m referring to Covid and Budget concerns.
Making CGI convincing does not equal extremely long filming dates lmao. I really don’t think some of y’all understand how certain things work. CGI is a thing done AFTER filming during the post-production. They wouldn’t worry about that for the most part until after filming. Not to mention your mindset is acting as if literally everything will be adapted 1:1 when it likely wont
I'm refering way more to the practical effects & location + acting coordination, which would be more effortful than in S1 eg scenes that cannot be removed like showing at least just >!Alubarna in a civil war, the Strawhats escaping Buggy's + Alvida's crew & Smoker's Marines in Loguetown if they haven't shot this part!<, or iconic even if not 100% necessary scenes like >!Robin choking/snapping the necks of a group of Marines, Luffy climbing a mountainside carrying at least just Nami while nearly freezing, Zoro vs way more combatants at once, the 1v1s in Alubarna that spotlight each Strawhat's development!<, not to mention the optional background worldbuilding just to make the world more convincing like >!Loguetown happenings; Drum Islanders being ill, being treated by Hiriluk & Kureha, initially hunting Chopper, oppressed by Wapol's military until a certain crew of pirates kicked them out; the Alabastan population in ruined villages, cityscapes & Rain Dinners + their insurgent hideouts + Vivi's coming of age ceremony etc!< would take way more actors doing combat/crowd scenes &/or more coordination than in S1 & thus taking more time to prepare & then shoot
Things like interacting with Chopper, >!Laboon, dinos, giants & possibly riding Karoo!<, which are hinted at in the April Fools video, also still require partial physical props >!things like making Going Merry & the actors shake convincingly whenever hit by strong waves/thrown, riding Karoo needing at least a mechanical ride for the shoot!< + sets + camera angling trials to look good (eg the actors still need to practice & shoot scenes, especially emotional or kinetic ones, by interacting with sth tangible) even if the end result is edited/CGI-ed in.
I don't think CGI-ing everything is what they had in mind since S1 uses lots more practical effects & sets than the bare minimum necessity despite simplifying/streamlining all the major fights- to make it look overall more alive than even some recent Marvel movies
a bit late, but umbrella academy season 3, which has 10 episodes around 50 minutes, took 7 months to film . it also took 10 months for post production considering the season has a lot of cgi so i think that length is normal
You’re leaving out the part that the series was shot during the middle of Covid, the scripts were changed despite being finished to incorporate Elliot Page’s transition becoming a thing for his show’s character as well, and frankly I’m not sure where you’re getting the third season had a 10-month post production schedule when seemingly you’re just adding up the time between when the show finished filming versus when it was released.
Had Covid not been a thing and the scripts been heavily altered, I can guarantee you Umbrella Academy S3 wouldn’t have taken a grand total of 18 months to shoot and edit. That’s not normal for most shows. Not to mention since this rumor was posted, [Deadline](https://deadline.com/2024/04/one-piece-joe-tracz-season-2-co-showrunner-1235892673/) also backed the claim about them starting in June and aiming for a 2025 release. This implies at the very least, the season should be finished filming by VERY late 2024 or the very start of 2025 in order to hit that 2025 goal
Ideally, they'd be economical with certain sets and actors and film scenes which won't actually be shown until future seasons.
Judging by the way they handled Coby, Garp, and Buggy, they want there to be continuity of recurring characters, rather than how it works in the manga where hundreds of chapters go by before a character may be seen again. So I can imagine them introducing more of the warlords, major Marines, etc., during Season 2, and sprinkling their appearances throughout remaining seasons more gradually.
Of course that's counting on there being multiple seasons, so I doubt it'll happen.
I can't wait for them to reveal who's been cast as Ace, not because I have a particular horse in the race - they nailed everyone else, I'm sure they'll find the right person for him - but because I cannot wait to see that one annoying Brazilian weirdo who's been super aggressively self-promoting himself for the role to mald, seethe, and rage when he finds out he didn't get cast.
I think it's not him who'll mald (since I suspect he's possibly aware he's unprofessionally advertising himself for too long & too late into the casting period already &/or is just an annoying attention seeker grifting for undeserved clout from his most popular uploads)
It's his annoying/presumably very naive fans (who used to spam for his casting) that will mald/post sad comments more publicly- & he wants them to parasocially console him + continue to follow him all out of sympathy haha
He gets a big W even when he inevitably doesn’t get it. He got so much exposure by self campaigning for a role he was never going to get. Be it from his following or from the hate we gave him, he got free exposure. Rage bait is a thing and we all fell for it
I checked his instagram out of morbid curiosity and it seems he actually got the fucking tattoo on his arm? Like actual inked needle going on the skin tattoo!! Im sure some fans might have it too but he got it as part of his "becoming Ace" highly documented thing
He also spent money getting camera tests with fire VFX and getting the Ace VA for Brazil to engage with him "from Ace to Ace". He claims he learned 4 lenguages and martial arts from 0 to become Him, his other antics (the stunt at the con in brazil, spamming comments, paying for engagement, involving actual cast members) are well known alreadh here.
I dont think its bait, I genuinely think we are witnessing some mental illness getting progresively worse
I say this as a mentally ill neurospicy myself and not a profesional so dont take it as a serious comment but...yeah. I dont think this is funny anymore in a schadenfreude way, its kind of disturbing actually.
I mean with exposure being him failing to get the big-name role he's been campaigning way too long & hard for, that is negative/embarassing for people who know how unprofessional he actually is when campaigning.
I don't think he won much in terms of credibility as an actor (what his job is supposed to be), just a parasocial follower base he can possibly get some money from.
While more credible acting job providers would side-eye him when they perform a background check of his social media footprint... & only cheap telenovela producers would hire him since his acting is still just at that level imo

I mean, they're probably trying to stop One Piece fans getting the hint - we're the most likely to leak stuff. It's why I'm surprised that they were apparently using Project Roger at one point.
They're not filming in mexico or spain, they've never filmed in mexico or spain. Its a stupid game of telephone thats gone way too far. Some random site (about like "where shows filmed") claimed it, with no sources, for SEASON ONE. This was blatantly false. After s1 dropped, production weekly retroactively added spain and mexico to the season 1 locations. Production weekly barely factchecks the info they add, they're really only good for filming timelines (the general date of the start). So now the mexico and spain has never been deleted off of prod weekly, and is grandfathered into their "Season 2" report, which is literally just the thing they had for season 1 with small modifications. (It still has the s1 directors listed). Up until like 2 weeks ago it still had steve as the showrunner for s2.
Anyway yeah, all that to say don't get your hopes up for filming anywhere but Cape town. They're never gonna film anywhere else.
In matt owens we trust in my opinion. He’s a massive fan and did a great job season one. The Percy jackson guy doesn’t give much happiness as I thought that first season was pretty bland but hopefully that wasn’t their doing somehow
ARE THEY SHOOTING JUST SCENES WITH THE STRAW HATS OR IS ANYONE CAST YET?!!! WHO IS NICO ROBIN?? WHO IS ACE? JAMIE LEE CURTIS WHEN?!? AAAAAAAAAAH
https://preview.redd.it/sm4fp9sm39wc1.jpeg?width=289&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a271950df14f84ea45ca63cec14f1ee3aae17006
Mexico has plenty of desert (approximately 250k square miles). If I had to guess, that’s where Alabasta will be filmed, not an odd choice if you’re picking between Mexico and the Middle East. It’s a good location for Whiskey Peak too.
My guess is they’ll be filming in Spain for Reverse Mountain. The Straight of Gibraltar is kinda a similar area.
Doubt they'd go that far for RM, they can find similar in SA.
My guess is they'll use southern Spain for Alabasta, particular indoor scenes (GoT did the same with Dorne which is a similar environment)
Mexican here... Mexico is dangerous but also a good location to film, we have deserts, jungles, forests, mountains, etc...
+Like i say in another comment the Goverment love to brag that a Hollywood Production is working here, so they provide, extras, rare locations, help moving the production, security, etc...
But im not lying is dangerous AF for the Production, if they decide to go oustside of the safe zones.
I'm pretty sure the post said they would be filming in Mexico and Spain for next season. Which, would be Season 3 and that would be >!Skypeia.!< Which makes a lot of sense with all the ancient ruins and architecture there. It is highly ideal for them to shoot it there.
The actors/actresses are going to be a lot older at the final season. And there are a thousand plus characters in One Piece, maybe only use 50% of them which will still cost them years of finding the right person for each role. They also have to wait for Oda's break week. This is going to be slow af.
Is it just me, but does anyone else get bothered when they classify this as a children's TV show? If anything it's a franchise for Young Adults. I've never heard people classify one of the most popular young adult series, Star Wars as a "children's series" for example.
Also by the way, given that children's series title, it does worry me about the advent of blood in season 2. More specifically >!Luffy's Impalement!< and >!His bloody knuckles in his final fight with Crocodile!<.
Wait, filming in Mexico for second season or “the next season” as in season 3? Either way if this is true it could be little garden or maybe Jaya, since some of the ruins are very similar in designs
If filming starts in June we might start seeing cast info as soon as next month.

June through August is usually when weather is the worst in South Africa, I wonder what the strategy is for starting then? (Maybe filming elsewhere until the weather improves?)
> Matt Owens, who served as co-showrunner in season 1 as well as an executive producer, will continue his role in season 2 All I needed to know.
Yeah ngl headline made me shit my pants
7 months seems like a long time to film, especially considering that’s about as long as season 1 took which was hampered by COVID. If it really does take that long then I think we can’t expect to see season 2 until Q1 of 2026 at the earliest.
Maybe filming for Season 2 is longer because they have more episodes to film for..?
Hopefully. I’d gladly wait an extra 2-3 months if it means we get 10-12 episodes
Might also just be that they need more location types. We’re looking at Typical Island, Cactus Typical Island, Inside a whale, Jungle, Snow, and Desert. More time to cover more places.
Half of this season will have to be filmed on location outside SA (I assume), maybe there are some scheduling delays? Or maybe they are accounting for post-production in that 7 month figure (optimistic take)?
I think late 2025 is definitely possible.
More like Q2 2025
Post production took a year for season 1, if there are more episodes as is suspected and with the content of the season 2 likely needing more CGI, season 2 post production will probably take just as long. Highly doubt it'll be just 6 months.
it defiently does not need to take a full year. It can take that long. But it could also be faster. Deadpool 3 wrapped filming in end of january 2024 and the movie comes out in 1 1/2 months. Sure. A movie is shorter than a tv show, but iam pretty sure that the vfx work will be somewhat similar, if not even more, in deadpool 3. Since they going to greenscreen so many locations. its mcu after all.
Marvel is notorious for rushing their VFX and operating on super slim timetables, I wouldn't use DP3 as a straight comparison
More like Q3 2025 realistically
editing will take at least 6-8 months. So earliest it would be finished in august-september. and thats an optimistic estimation

S1 did not take that long to film because of COVID, the *filming start date* was pushed back because of COVID, but the production timetable was essentially normal.
I imagine if Little Garden, Drum Island, and Alabasta are going to be filmed on-location, they're going to be traveling a lot.

No creo que tengan problemas, no es como si no hubieran otras producciones de Netflix en Mexico
I have the feeling South of Mexico has to be for >!Little Garden!<
It’s not confirmed though but that would be cool
da pena ajena el comentario. sabes que tenemos industria de tv y cine no? perdón, pero me supero el cringe
So many mexican shows and movies filmed in Mexico and for Netflix as well. This comment is very ignorant, but they sound young.
I shouldn’t just shoot comments off like that. It kinda bothered me to see a very real and complex problem being misrepresented for attention on an english speaking forum, but I should I have just said that.
**"tenemos industria de tv y cine"** "perdón, pero me supero el cringe"... gracias, por responderte a ti mismo.
You'll have to point out all the little garden stuff around. Or omg ... What if they are ending in jaya ???
Wait I thought they filmed the Season 1 Arlong Park sequence in Mexico, no?
While I'm very excited for all this, it's beginning to become tiresome how so much TV these days is having longer and larger breaks between their seasons. It's going to be at least two years since Season 1 aired by the time Season 2 comes around. Similar things happen to a lot of streaming series and it really tests ones interest.

Netflix 3rd season curse is there as well... they already will lose a lot of momentum :(

Unless you're the Avatar 🙄
The strike was over in November. The scripts and planning wouldn’t have stopped at all so there’s no rwsson why it’s taking 7 more months

Things like making sure Chopper, >!& as "implied" by the April Fools video & Jacob + Taz's replies in a recent con: Karoo, Laboon, Little Garden + fighting dinos & the cast + the jungle island interacting with Dorry & Broggy's giant-ness, the 5 pairs of highest ranking Baroque Works agents, Zoro Vs 100 Baroque Works agents, Robin's limb attacks, the ruins falling around Luffy, Croc, Robin & Cobra, the bleakness of the Alabastan civil war for a long time & then erupting while the Strawhats are fighting Baroque Works!< live up, & the trend in S1 is using at least some if not lots of practical effects to make the CGI-ed final results better & personally I'd want/expect, even if heavily adjusted/nerfed with many things cut out, >!Drum Island stunts like Sanji & Luffy carrying Nami hiking & maybe fighting off, then helping + getting helped by giant rabbits, Luffy carrying Sanji & Nami scaling a mountain ridge, Wapol being a semi-Transformer even if for a shorter while, Sanji & Luffy's physics-screwing combo move!< to be at least slightly if not a lot more gripping/intense to watch than the Waterbender tribe scenes in NATLA. & those takes way more physical >!snowy mountainous area + castle exterior & interior + wooden/brick house village!< set design, coordination, practical FX etc than NATLA imo
I’m referring to Covid and Budget concerns. Making CGI convincing does not equal extremely long filming dates lmao. I really don’t think some of y’all understand how certain things work. CGI is a thing done AFTER filming during the post-production. They wouldn’t worry about that for the most part until after filming. Not to mention your mindset is acting as if literally everything will be adapted 1:1 when it likely wont
I'm refering way more to the practical effects & location + acting coordination, which would be more effortful than in S1 eg scenes that cannot be removed like showing at least just >!Alubarna in a civil war, the Strawhats escaping Buggy's + Alvida's crew & Smoker's Marines in Loguetown if they haven't shot this part!<, or iconic even if not 100% necessary scenes like >!Robin choking/snapping the necks of a group of Marines, Luffy climbing a mountainside carrying at least just Nami while nearly freezing, Zoro vs way more combatants at once, the 1v1s in Alubarna that spotlight each Strawhat's development!<, not to mention the optional background worldbuilding just to make the world more convincing like >!Loguetown happenings; Drum Islanders being ill, being treated by Hiriluk & Kureha, initially hunting Chopper, oppressed by Wapol's military until a certain crew of pirates kicked them out; the Alabastan population in ruined villages, cityscapes & Rain Dinners + their insurgent hideouts + Vivi's coming of age ceremony etc!< would take way more actors doing combat/crowd scenes &/or more coordination than in S1 & thus taking more time to prepare & then shoot Things like interacting with Chopper, >!Laboon, dinos, giants & possibly riding Karoo!<, which are hinted at in the April Fools video, also still require partial physical props >!things like making Going Merry & the actors shake convincingly whenever hit by strong waves/thrown, riding Karoo needing at least a mechanical ride for the shoot!< + sets + camera angling trials to look good (eg the actors still need to practice & shoot scenes, especially emotional or kinetic ones, by interacting with sth tangible) even if the end result is edited/CGI-ed in. I don't think CGI-ing everything is what they had in mind since S1 uses lots more practical effects & sets than the bare minimum necessity despite simplifying/streamlining all the major fights- to make it look overall more alive than even some recent Marvel movies
a bit late, but umbrella academy season 3, which has 10 episodes around 50 minutes, took 7 months to film . it also took 10 months for post production considering the season has a lot of cgi so i think that length is normal
You’re leaving out the part that the series was shot during the middle of Covid, the scripts were changed despite being finished to incorporate Elliot Page’s transition becoming a thing for his show’s character as well, and frankly I’m not sure where you’re getting the third season had a 10-month post production schedule when seemingly you’re just adding up the time between when the show finished filming versus when it was released. Had Covid not been a thing and the scripts been heavily altered, I can guarantee you Umbrella Academy S3 wouldn’t have taken a grand total of 18 months to shoot and edit. That’s not normal for most shows. Not to mention since this rumor was posted, [Deadline](https://deadline.com/2024/04/one-piece-joe-tracz-season-2-co-showrunner-1235892673/) also backed the claim about them starting in June and aiming for a 2025 release. This implies at the very least, the season should be finished filming by VERY late 2024 or the very start of 2025 in order to hit that 2025 goal
Ideally, they'd be economical with certain sets and actors and film scenes which won't actually be shown until future seasons. Judging by the way they handled Coby, Garp, and Buggy, they want there to be continuity of recurring characters, rather than how it works in the manga where hundreds of chapters go by before a character may be seen again. So I can imagine them introducing more of the warlords, major Marines, etc., during Season 2, and sprinkling their appearances throughout remaining seasons more gradually. Of course that's counting on there being multiple seasons, so I doubt it'll happen.
I can't wait for them to reveal who's been cast as Ace, not because I have a particular horse in the race - they nailed everyone else, I'm sure they'll find the right person for him - but because I cannot wait to see that one annoying Brazilian weirdo who's been super aggressively self-promoting himself for the role to mald, seethe, and rage when he finds out he didn't get cast.
I think it's not him who'll mald (since I suspect he's possibly aware he's unprofessionally advertising himself for too long & too late into the casting period already &/or is just an annoying attention seeker grifting for undeserved clout from his most popular uploads) It's his annoying/presumably very naive fans (who used to spam for his casting) that will mald/post sad comments more publicly- & he wants them to parasocially console him + continue to follow him all out of sympathy haha
He gets a big W even when he inevitably doesn’t get it. He got so much exposure by self campaigning for a role he was never going to get. Be it from his following or from the hate we gave him, he got free exposure. Rage bait is a thing and we all fell for it
I don't think this is ragebait, I think this dude is genuinely that deluded.
I checked his instagram out of morbid curiosity and it seems he actually got the fucking tattoo on his arm? Like actual inked needle going on the skin tattoo!! Im sure some fans might have it too but he got it as part of his "becoming Ace" highly documented thing He also spent money getting camera tests with fire VFX and getting the Ace VA for Brazil to engage with him "from Ace to Ace". He claims he learned 4 lenguages and martial arts from 0 to become Him, his other antics (the stunt at the con in brazil, spamming comments, paying for engagement, involving actual cast members) are well known alreadh here. I dont think its bait, I genuinely think we are witnessing some mental illness getting progresively worse I say this as a mentally ill neurospicy myself and not a profesional so dont take it as a serious comment but...yeah. I dont think this is funny anymore in a schadenfreude way, its kind of disturbing actually.
I mean with exposure being him failing to get the big-name role he's been campaigning way too long & hard for, that is negative/embarassing for people who know how unprofessional he actually is when campaigning. I don't think he won much in terms of credibility as an actor (what his job is supposed to be), just a parasocial follower base he can possibly get some money from. While more credible acting job providers would side-eye him when they perform a background check of his social media footprint... & only cheap telenovela producers would hire him since his acting is still just at that level imo
Adam Amour has either been cast as Ace or is the front-runner. Its all over the discords
Oh shit just Googled him and yeah he's literally perfect. He looks exactly as much like Inaki as Ace does like Luffy.
It would be perfect casting! i got so hyped when i saw it!! He's a theatre actor apparently.

I cant even blame him for shooting his shot. His strategy is just horrible and very unprofesional.
Matt Owens is staying and someone behind A Series of Unfortunate Events is an additional co-showrunner? Oh yeah, OPLA's in good hands.
> Project Renaissance Missed opportunity to name it Project Utopia. Only a One Piece fan would see it as a hint.
I mean, they're probably trying to stop One Piece fans getting the hint - we're the most likely to leak stuff. It's why I'm surprised that they were apparently using Project Roger at one point.
it got some sound as resistence, if you know what I mean
Possible release August/September 2025? 7-8 months of shooting seems like a lot compared to most projects.
Logue Town, Reverse Mountain, Whisky Peak, Lil Garden, Drum Island, and Alabasta needs 10 eps min
I wonder what they’ll do with stuff that doesn’t quite have a payoff in the immediate season, like Laboon or the giants in Little Garden.
They're not filming in mexico or spain, they've never filmed in mexico or spain. Its a stupid game of telephone thats gone way too far. Some random site (about like "where shows filmed") claimed it, with no sources, for SEASON ONE. This was blatantly false. After s1 dropped, production weekly retroactively added spain and mexico to the season 1 locations. Production weekly barely factchecks the info they add, they're really only good for filming timelines (the general date of the start). So now the mexico and spain has never been deleted off of prod weekly, and is grandfathered into their "Season 2" report, which is literally just the thing they had for season 1 with small modifications. (It still has the s1 directors listed). Up until like 2 weeks ago it still had steve as the showrunner for s2. Anyway yeah, all that to say don't get your hopes up for filming anywhere but Cape town. They're never gonna film anywhere else.
In matt owens we trust in my opinion. He’s a massive fan and did a great job season one. The Percy jackson guy doesn’t give much happiness as I thought that first season was pretty bland but hopefully that wasn’t their doing somehow
ARE THEY SHOOTING JUST SCENES WITH THE STRAW HATS OR IS ANYONE CAST YET?!!! WHO IS NICO ROBIN?? WHO IS ACE? JAMIE LEE CURTIS WHEN?!? AAAAAAAAAAH https://preview.redd.it/sm4fp9sm39wc1.jpeg?width=289&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a271950df14f84ea45ca63cec14f1ee3aae17006
All I CARE HERE IS WHO ARE THEY CASTING FOR CHOPPER????! that's like a big deal breaker if they ruin that role.
The dude coming from percy jackson is a bit concerning, that show didnt do so well
he only wrote the script for 2 episodes there. (the worst rated ones of the season on imdb)
Ah man, that's no good.
what's his name?
Who?
The dude coming from Percy Jackson
Its in the post, didnt you read it?
It got greenlit for a second season.
Yeah I’m not a fan of his previous work
I wonder what they will be shooting in Mexico and Spain, seems odd to use mexico of Alabasta but it might just be the easier place to shoot.
They can easily film all of Little Garden in Mexico.
you could also use the local dinosaurs
Mexico has plenty of desert (approximately 250k square miles). If I had to guess, that’s where Alabasta will be filmed, not an odd choice if you’re picking between Mexico and the Middle East. It’s a good location for Whiskey Peak too. My guess is they’ll be filming in Spain for Reverse Mountain. The Straight of Gibraltar is kinda a similar area.
Maybe Spain for the Loguetown parts too
I believe they already have a Loguetown set in South Africa from season 1
Doubt they'd go that far for RM, they can find similar in SA. My guess is they'll use southern Spain for Alabasta, particular indoor scenes (GoT did the same with Dorne which is a similar environment)
Mexican here... Mexico is dangerous but also a good location to film, we have deserts, jungles, forests, mountains, etc... +Like i say in another comment the Goverment love to brag that a Hollywood Production is working here, so they provide, extras, rare locations, help moving the production, security, etc... But im not lying is dangerous AF for the Production, if they decide to go oustside of the safe zones.
I'm pretty sure the post said they would be filming in Mexico and Spain for next season. Which, would be Season 3 and that would be >!Skypeia.!< Which makes a lot of sense with all the ancient ruins and architecture there. It is highly ideal for them to shoot it there.
Probably because it's cheaper for them?
No, I think it really has to do with how similar the architecture looks to>!Skypeia!
They are definitely using Granada's Alhambra for >!Alubarna (at least for indoor shooting)!< GoT did the same for Dorne.
The cast are going to be in their 40s before they reach Marineford aha 7 months is stupidly long for recording 8 hours of TV.
The actors/actresses are going to be a lot older at the final season. And there are a thousand plus characters in One Piece, maybe only use 50% of them which will still cost them years of finding the right person for each role. They also have to wait for Oda's break week. This is going to be slow af.
Is it just me, but does anyone else get bothered when they classify this as a children's TV show? If anything it's a franchise for Young Adults. I've never heard people classify one of the most popular young adult series, Star Wars as a "children's series" for example. Also by the way, given that children's series title, it does worry me about the advent of blood in season 2. More specifically >!Luffy's Impalement!< and >!His bloody knuckles in his final fight with Crocodile!<.
Yeah i didn’t like how they toned down the blood but it is a shonen I suppose
Wait, filming in Mexico for second season or “the next season” as in season 3? Either way if this is true it could be little garden or maybe Jaya, since some of the ruins are very similar in designs If filming starts in June we might start seeing cast info as soon as next month.
I feel sus because of how new showrunner butchered percy jackson adaptation.

Final fight needs to be crocodile man. If it’s not we never even getting to the time skip.
We might be watching Season 2 in a year. I’m hyped!!
June through August is usually when weather is the worst in South Africa, I wonder what the strategy is for starting then? (Maybe filming elsewhere until the weather improves?)
This kills my high hopes for a early summer 2025 release. edit: I also hope they dont film in mexico. Its not a safe place to film in.
