Joe Tracz expressed his enthusiasm to join the crew for season 2 and mentioned that this project would be his BIGGEST yet!
“I’ve been lucky to work on big adaptations of several beloved series, and they don’t come bigger or more beloved than One Piece. I’m a huge fan of Oda-san’s incredible imagination and I was blown away by what the live-action team created in Season One. So it’s a dream and a joy to come aboard the Going Merry as it enters the Grand Line for an even more giant Season Two.”
Matt Owens comments on Joe Tracz working along with him for One Piece Live-action season 2, stating that Joe’s immense treasure of experience will help the crew swim through the shallow waters of what the new season will offer.
“Joe has brought a wealth of enthusiasm and experience into our second season that will help take One Piece to new heights. We’re incredibly lucky to have him as a co-captain of this ship. The best crew on the seas grows larger!”
