One Piece Season 2: Joe Tracz Joins Netflix Series as Co-Showrunner

Netflix's live-action series take on author Eiichiro Oda's manga One Piece is welcoming Joe Tracz as the new co-showrunner for Season 2.

Netflix, Tomorrow Studios & publisher Shueisha's live-action series take on author Eiichiro Oda's manga One Piece is welcoming Joe Tracz (Percy Jackson and the Olympians) as the new co-showrunner for Season 2. Tracz will join Season 1 co-showrunner, writer, and executive producer Matt Owens – with Season 1 co-showrunner Steven Maeda staying aboard as an executive producer. "Joe has brought a wealth of enthusiasm and experience into our second season that will help take 'One Piece' to new heights. We're incredibly lucky to have him as a co-captain of this ship. The best crew on the seas grows larger!" Owens shared. Tracz added, "I've been lucky to work on big adaptations of several beloved series, and they don't come bigger or more beloved than 'One Piece.' I'm a huge fan of Oda-san's incredible imagination, and I was blown away by what the live-action team created in Season One. So it's a dream and a joy to come aboard the Going Merry as it enters the Grand Line for an even more giant Season Two."
