Netflix Announces 'The One Piece'

THE ONE PIECE is a new Netflix anime adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga, beginning with the East Blue saga. Produced by WIT STUDIO, it is planned as a worldwide Netflix exclusive.

《THE ONE PIECE》 is a project that reanimates Eiichiro Oda’s manga 《ONE PIECE》 from the beginning. The official announcement video revealed the title and production involvement, specifying the East Blue Saga as the story’s starting point. The early part of the original manga, in which Luffy sets out to sea and gathers his companions, will serve as the setting for the new series’ first chapter.

Netflix stated that the series is a new production separate from the existing TV anime, which has continued for more than 25 years. It aims to recreate the familiar adventures of the original work through the expressive capabilities of modern technology; it is an independent new animated series, not a rebroadcast or edited version of the long-running TV anime.

WIT STUDIO is handling the animation production. Masashi Koizuka is directing, Hideaki Abe is serving as assistant director, and Kyoji Asano and Takatoshi Honda are participating as character designers and chief animation directors. Taku Kishimoto is credited with series composition.

Netflix announced that it will stream the series exclusively worldwide. The production committee includes Shueisha, Fuji Television Network, and Toei Animation, and according to Netflix’s 2026 announcement, the series is scheduled to premiere in February 2027.
