Netflix's One Piece Live-Action Showrunner Announces Surprise Exit From Series

“So I’m stepping off the Going Merry to take a break and focus on myself and my mental health,” Owens continued. “Thank you so much to Oda, Shueisha, Tomorrow Studios, Netflix, and the entire cast and crew for your trust, partnership, and hard work. For now I’m gonna take a breath, do some therapy, try and rank up in Marvel Rivals, and come back refreshed for the new adventures that await. Thanks to everyone who has supported me. See you real soon!“

Seems to be for personal health reasons, so it's unlikely that the show is at risk at this point. Wishing them the best!
