As a dedicated fan myself, I’m sharing the news that Matt Owens, who skillfully navigated Netflix’s live-action One Piece series through its initial two seasons, has decided to part ways with the show. This departure will surely leave a significant impact on the series.
Last Friday, Owens announced via an Instagram post that he’s stepping down from the show to devote more attention to his personal well-being and mental health. The production for the second season of One Piece has already been wrapped up.
Over the past six years of working on the live-action adaptation of One Piece, Owens expressed that this has been a transformative, dream-fulfilling experience. It’s been an incredibly challenging ride as well, so he is choosing to depart from this journey – the Going Merry. He extends his heartfelt gratitude to Oda, Shueisha, Tomorrow Studios, Netflix, and the entire cast and crew for their faith, collaboration, and unwavering dedication.
From the beginning, Owens has been involved in the live-action transformation of Eiichiro Oda’s popular manga, which has also led to numerous anime series. Over time, he devised a strategic plan for the series and took on the role of co-showrunner for both seasons that have aired so far. During season one, he worked alongside Steven Maeda, with Maeda continuing as an executive producer. In the upcoming second season, Owens will be joined by Joe Tracz as co-showrunner.
I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be leading the post-production for season two. As of now, Netflix hasn’t given us a release date yet, but we’re all eagerly waiting to bring it to you!
The official One Piece Instagram account shared Owens’ post (details available below), adding the remark “You’ve steered us towards something genuinely extraordinary.
Before diving into the world of “One Piece”, I was a scribe for two Marvel shows, “Agents of SHIELD” on ABC and “Luke Cage” on Netflix. Together with Tracz, I’m co-executive producing “One Piece” alongside Oda, Maeda, Marty Adelstein, and Becky Clements. As a gamer, imagine stepping into the creator’s shoes for this epic adventure!
