With the release date of Season 2 near, the series has already been renewed for Season 3, which has fans thrilled, yet anxious for one important reason.

One Piece live adaptation series could struggle with one issue

Netflix’s One Piece live-action series could face the challenge that many long-running shows do, which is that the actors grow older, even when the story timeline remains the same. One Piece is a longer story based on a manga that spans decades, and long breaks between seasons could make it harder to sell the idea that these adventures are happening close together in time. However, it has one advantage that could help the production team.

The story includes an official two-year time skip, where Luffy and the Straw Hats return older. This will give the show a natural way to match the actors’ aging with the story. However, Netflix will need smart planning and faster production schedules to make it work.
