The upcoming live-action adaptation of One Piece on Netflix is undergoing a significant shift, as Matt Owens has chosen to step down from the project.
On Friday (March 21), it was announced by one of the joint showrunners that he’s chosen to leave his position, marking the end of his six-year tenure on the Netflix version of the legendary anime series.
Matt, who co-led the show with Joe Tracz, shared an Instagram post announcing his departure from the project in order to prioritize his personal health and wellness.
For six years, the work on the live-action One Piece has been an incredible, life-altering adventure – a dream fulfilled. And it’s been quite a ride! Now, I need some time away from the Going Merry to rest and prioritize my personal well-being and mental health.
He went on to express his gratitude: “Many thanks to Oda, Shueisha, Tomorrow Studios, Netflix, and the whole team – cast and crew alike – for your faith, collaboration, and dedication.
Currently, I’ll step aside for a moment to catch my breath, engage in some self-care, climb the ranks in Marvel Rivals, and return rejuvenated for our upcoming escapades. A big thank you to all of you who have been with me on this journey. Can’t wait to see you again soon!
2023 saw the debut of the initial live-action adaptation of One Piece on Netflix, and I can’t wait to share that I was part of the team who started filming the second series last July!
