Joe Tracz has joined Netflix’s “One Piece” as coshowrunner, TheWrap has learned.

The “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” co-EP and writer will serve as coshowrunner, writer and executive producer for the live action show’s second season alongside coshowrunner, writer and EP Matt Owens. The news of Tracz joining the team comes over six months after the anime adaptation was renewed for a second season after dominating Netflix’s top 10 most-watched list.

“I’ve been lucky to work on big adaptations of several beloved series, and they don’t come bigger or more beloved than ‘One Piece,’” Tracz said in a statement. “I’m a huge fan of Oda-san’s incredible imagination and I was blown away by what the live-action team created in Season One. So it’s a dream and a joy to come aboard the Going Merry as it enters the Grand Line for an even more giant Season Two.”

“Joe has brought a wealth of enthusiasm and experience into our second season that will help take One Piece to new heights,” Owens said. “We’re incredibly lucky to have him as a co-captain of this ship. The best crew on the seas grows larger!”

Deadline first reported the news.
