Is there any info on release date and actors yet? I know I can't expect much but I hope they at least get actors that fit the role xD
One Piece, adapted from the pirate adventure manga series-turned-multimedia-empire created by Eiichiro Oda, is not quite as far along as Bebop in its development yet. Netflix announced the upcoming live-action adaptation, along with news that Oda will serve as executive producer, in January of 2020, and Adelstein and company originally intended to launch production this summer. Though the timeline might shift a bit, he's still hoping One Piece will ramp up later this year.
"We were supposed to start filming in August in Cape Town, South Africa. We anticipate the date being able to film September, at the latest," Adelstein said. "We have basically all 10 scripts written. We will start casting when we go back. My suspicion is June 1, but we will start doing our casting. We have a lot of names that we’re talking about, and we should be in production in September. We have been working very closely with Sensei Oda. So, we’re going to get started, and this one is very big. I mean, Snowpiercer was a big production; this is even bigger."From the SyFy article I posted the link to earlier that was read during the video that Judge posted.
So no, the casting hasn’t happened and no filming yet, so there’s no release date. I’ve got another article up there and the one I linked had a tiny bit more data but this is everything confirmed that we know. The video went through Steve Maeda’s Instagram and speculated about potential actors based on when they were added.

Haha...maybe it's just me but I had a good laugh at the wishful thinking of wanting 200 seasons of job security.
Well they’re doing ten episode seasons so funny but true at the same time lol
