Season 2 sees Luffy and his pals heading to Drum Island. Netflix’s TUDUM talked to showrunner Joe Tracz about the upcoming journey. Expect epic when it comes to Season 2 of the beloved anime adaptation.
“Drum Kingdom is a winter island. It’s our medieval Winterfell Game of Thrones location, where you have this haunted-seeming castle at the top of a snowy mountain inhabited by someone the villagers say is a witch,” Tracz told Tudum.
“We brought in piles and piles of fake snow,” Tracz add. “It tricks your brain. You’d get to set and feel like you should be cold, even though it was summer, because of all the fake snow everywhere.”
