On June 24, 2026, Netflix released the first official teaser for 'THE ONE PIECE', the One Piece remake anime produced by WIT Studio. The teaser was first shown during the 'Next on Netflix Animation' presentation at the 2026 Annecy International Animation Film Festival before being released online through Netflix’s official channels. It offers the first look at the series’ visual direction through a completely new rendition of the early East Blue Saga from Eiichiro Oda’s original manga.

The voice cast drew the most attention in the teaser. It officially confirmed that Mayumi Tanaka, who has voiced Monkey D. Luffy since the original TV anime began airing in 1999, will return in the same role for the remake. The announcement reveals the production team’s intention to preserve continuity with the original anime while modernizing the animation and direction.

'THE ONE PIECE' is directed by Masashi Koizuka, best known for 'Attack on Titan', with Kyoji Asano handling character designs. Season 1 will consist of seven episodes, each running approximately 42 minutes—nearly twice the length of a typical TV anime episode—bringing the season’s total runtime to roughly 300 minutes. It will cover Chapters 1 through 50 of the original manga, from Romance Dawn through the Baratie arc.

The series will premiere worldwide on Netflix in February 2027, with the entire season scheduled for simultaneous release rather than weekly distribution. By removing filler and compactly restructuring the original story, the remake has generated strong reactions since its announcement, trending on social media and prompting fans to analyze it frame by frame.
