Netflix Geeked Week 2024 is currently underway, and of course, we have Jeff Ward (actor who plays Buggy the Clown) giving fans a quick behind-the-screen look at One Piece Season 2, along with the production team involved in making the upcoming season a reality.
There is still a long way to go until the release of One Piece Live-Action Season 2, which Ward does confirm to be 2025. However, in the meantime, he came forward to give us an exclusive set tour of the ongoing production of season 2 in Cape Town, South Africa.
Exploring the Production Set
As a long-time One Piece fan, it is exhilarating to meet the production crew and explore the different units, including all of the costume, hair & makeup department, props master, and production design experts for the One Piece live-action adaptation.

During the tour, we first get to see some of the new costumes, which differ from the Straw Hats’ usual attire. This sneak peek gives fans a chance to see how the characters will evolve in the upcoming season. Then, we move on to the hair design department, where we see the various wigs for upcoming Baroque Works members, Buggy, and more.

The new costumes are an exciting aspect of the production. They showcase the creativity and effort put into making the characters visually stunning and true to their manga origins.

The wigs and hairstyles are crafted with precision, ensuring that each character has a distinctive look that aligns with their manga counterparts. This attention to detail enhances the overall viewing experience.
