Netflix fans have been given a disappointing update over the release of the second season of a ‘curse-breaking’ TV show.

One Piece – a live-action adaptation of a Japanese anime series – landed on the streamer to great critical acclaim in 2023 and was described as ‘perfect’ by viewers.

Watched 71,600,000 times, the eight-parter follows Captain Monkey D. Luffy, played by Iñaki Godoy, and his crew of straw hat pirates.

The group spend their time hunting for mythical treasure across the ocean, as if they find it then he’ll become the best pirate of all time.

Since season one, fans have been eagerly anticipating its follow-up; however, Netflix has not entirely determined its release date.

According to What’s On Netflix, the streamer accidentally leaked that it would arrive in 2025 on its website Tudum.

An archived website page mentions that One Piece lego sets ‘bring you treasures you can cherish while you wait for new episodes of One Piece, which arrive later this year.’

That would mean at least a two-year wait for One Piece fans between seasons.

In a further blow, Garp actor Vincent Regan previously implied season two would return at Christmas.

After binging season one in 2023, fans raved about One Piece with @Bolt_Otsutsuki said: ‘I need season 2, this is by far the best live action anime show ever One Piece really broke the curse… if you haven’t watch the One Piece live action show yet Oh boy you missing out.’

Echoing their sentiment, @Stelldubs raved: ‘Ladies and gentelthems, #onepiece is perfect.’

@luffyslover shared: ‘Omg the One Piece Netflix Live Action is so good…truly made me fall in love with One Piece all over again.’

@GeorgeAlexClark added: ‘I’ve got no history with #OnePiece so when I say that I’m loving this, I truly mean it! Episode 1 is great, I don’t know anything about this world, but I’m having such a fun time and the characters are excellent. Can’t wait to watch more!’

One Piece producers Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements previously revealed to Deadline their ambitions for 12 seasons of the show

Marty shared: ‘We have hopes for 12 seasons, there’s so much material.’

Becky continued: ‘We’re over 1,080 chapters at this point in the manga. We have plans with Matt Owens for how we would break multiple seasons, and I think even if we did six seasons, we would probably only use up half of the chapters of the manga. It really could go on and on and on.’

Production for One Piece season two is reportedly continuing in South Africa and is due to wrap at the end of the month.

One Piece is available to stream on Netflix.
