An artwork for the upcoming THE ONE PIECE‘s first episode, “Romance Dawn,” has been revealed, with the rest of Season 1‘s episodes to get their own artwork “throughout” the season. It was also announced that June 24, 3 PM CEST will see the release of the WIT STUDIO-produced remake’s teaser trailer.
THE ONE PIECE‘s first season will drop on Netflix in February 2027. It will contain seven episodes that adapt the manga’s first 50 chapters across roughly 300 minutes. The anime was announced in December 2023.
Masashi Koizuka (Attack on Titan seasons 2 and 3) is directing the anime with Taku Kishimoto (Ranking of Kings) as series composer, Kyoji Asano (Attack on Titan) and Takatoshi Honda (In/Spectre) as character designers and chief animation directors, and Hideaki Abe (Jujutsu Kaisen Episode 15 storyboard artist and director, Episode 4 director) as assistant director.
The One Piece manga by Eiichiro Oda began serialization in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997 and has 114 volumes as of March 2026. VIZ Media describes the manga as such:
As a child, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to become a pirate by listening to the tales of the buccaneer “Red-Haired” Shanks. But his life changed when Luffy accidentally ate the Gum-Gum Devil Fruit and gained the power to stretch like rubber…at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years later, still vowing to become the king of the pirates, Luffy sets out on his adventure…one guy alone in a rowboat, in search of the legendary “One Piece,” said to be the greatest treasure in the world…
The manga initially inspired a Production I.G-produced OVA that was released the same year as the its debut. The still ongoing Toei Animation-produced One Piece TV anime, which recently switched to a 26-episode-a-year release schedule with the episodes divided into two blocks, began airing in 1999 and entered the “Elbaph Arc” in April 2026. A number of anime films, as well as the One Piece Fan Letter special, were also released over the years. One Piece Heroines, a special episode based on the “episode : NAMI” story from the ONE PIECE novel HEROINES spin-off, is set to premiere on July 5.
Other upcoming One Piece video content are One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta, the third season of Netflix’s live-action series, and LEGO ONE PIECE.
