During a recent interview with Digital Spy, One Piece star Taz Skylar finally shared a new update regarding the current status of the upcoming second season of Netflix’s hit fantasy series.
Skylar confirmed that the creative team already has “general dates” in mind for One Piece Season 2’s potential filming start, teasing the cast and crew will soon be returning to the show’s South Africa set.
“I know they’re working on it,” he said. “I know we have general dates so as to when we are going back to South Africa, which isn’t too long from now. I love the way that they’re adapting it, I love what they’re doing with each one of our characters.
Skylar continued, “We all as a cast, as a team, as a crew, we are so excited to get back together, because the first time was such a great experience and we made so many great friends. And we love South Africa, so we all can’t wait to go back there this year and hopefully knock it out of the park again.”
