I've been reading the tea leaves, and I'm pretty sure that Netflix is making a bigger bet on One Piece than some people might realise. The anime/manga adaptation is just about to start its second season (as confirmed by a fairly raucous final trailer during the past few days) but Netflix might have ambitions for it to become a tentpole franchise as it moves forward.
The signs are there – one of the most subtle being that when Netflix unveiled its Netflix House real-world locations last year it had one with a One Piece area, something marking the show out among other giants like Squid Game, Wednesday and Stranger Things. That last one is relevant, since it just ended after years as a big number-spinner for Netflix.
