ONE PIECE, the new animated adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga One Piece, will land on Netflix in February 2027. Produced by WIT Studio, the series will retell the story from the start, beginning with the East Blue saga.

Based on Eiichiro Oda's manga

Original title: THE ONE PIECE

This new project isn’t a continuation of Netflix’s live-action series, nor is it a new arc of the beloved anime that has been airing since 1999. THE ONE PIECE is a fresh animated adaptation of the original manga, conceived as a return to Monkey D. Luffy’s early adventures.
The first season will adapt the story’s opening arc, focusing on the East Blue saga. Netflix says this portion will cover the manga’s first 50 chapters, charting Luffy’s early quest for the One Piece and the gradual assembly of his crew.
The project has been handed to WIT Studio, already renowned for its work in Japanese animation. The direction is led by Masashi Koizuka, with Hideaki Abe serving as assistant director, Taku Kishimoto handling the series composition, and Kyoji Asano along with Takatoshi Honda in charge of character design and chief animation direction.
The main draw of THE ONE PIECE lies in its positioning: it offers a fresh entry point into the universe of One Piece, without asking viewers to dive straight into hundreds of episodes. The series is especially aimed at those who want to discover Eiichiro Oda’s manga from its origins, while remaining distinct from the anime that already exists.
Netflix has rolled out a new teaser and imagery for THE ONE PIECE as part of its 2026-and-beyond animation slate. At this stage, no exact release date has been announced beyond February 2027.
