Therefore, Adelstein expects the streaming service to renew One Piece live-action adaptation in a week or two after analyzing the viewership.

Meanwhile, other fans were worried about the strikes in Hollywood. Hollywood’s SAG-AFTRA meant that actors and writers would not work until the issues surrounding the same were resolved.
