Netflix has shaken the entire anime fan base following the release of its One Piece live-action series. Premiered back on August 31, the Eiichiro Oda manga has taken the world by storm. The series has become a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike. One Piece has become Netflix’s biggest hit for the year, setting new records since its release. And it seems like the series would not be stopping anytime soon. 

Over the past few weeks, a series of great shows and films have made their way to the streaming platform. However, One Piece continues to be among the streamer’s biggest hits almost a month after its release, as the series continues to dominate the charts.

Where does the One Piece live-action series rank on Netflix charts

Since its release on August 31, the One Piece live-action series has been bringing huge viewership for Netflix. Within the first few days of its release, the series garnered 17.6 million views. However, after topping the chart for three continuous weeks, the anime series fell from the top following the release of Sex Education season 4. Despite losing the first spot, One Piece is still well within Netflix’s Top 5 in its fourth week.

One Piece live-action fell to the third spot below Sex Education and Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal. However, the series raked up 6.2 million views after announcing season 2. In addition to that, the audience streamed One Piece for almost 46 million hours this week. To date, the live-action series has garnered nearly 54 million views and 407+ million hours streamed. 

Much to the delight of the fans, One Piece will soon be returning with a sequel on Netflix following an incredible response.

When will One Piece live-action series season 2 be released?

One Piece season 2 is arguably the most awaited project of Netflix. With season one ending the live-action curse for the steamer, things only seem to be getting better from here. Not long ago, Netflix green-lit the production for a sequel. Moreover, casting rumors for the second season seem to be in the works. Jamie Lee Curtis surprised the fans after announcing her decision to lobby for the role of Dr. Kureha. 

At this moment, there is no release date for the sequel. The director previously revealed that they are already working on the series and we might witness a new installment very soon. Meanwhile, the release also depends on the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and Writer’s strike.
