Netflix’s latest anime adaptation has been a massive success, soaring to the top of the charts (in the UK at least) and receiving a whopping96% Rotten Tomatoes score. Unfortunately, it looks like those of us who want to spend more time withOne Piece’sStraw Hat Pirates are going to have to rewatch season 1 for a little while.

With such success, you’d expect the savvy brains at one of thebest streaming servicesto get to work on season 2 ASAP, especially with 1075 anime episodes to draw from, but it’s not that simple. Speaking toVarietythe show’s producers revealed that some scripts for season 2 have been completed already, but that the current Hollywood strikes mean that work can’t get underway.

If you are looking for a goofy, off-the-wall adventure where a pirate with rubber limbs is one of the more standard characters,One Pieceis definitely worth your time. There aren’t many direct alternatives I can recommend but if it’s the superpowers that drew you in, then maybe tryExtraordinaryonDisney+ for a slightly more British take on superheroes (and it has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes). Or stay on Netflix for theTom Cruise movieadapted from theDeath Notecreator’s manga.
