Netflix has released further details on their anime adaptation of One Piece.

THE ONE PIECE is a brand-new anime series that adapts the original manga from the very beginning of the East Blue saga. Produced by Wit Studio, the series is set to premiere on Netflix in February 2027.

First serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997, Eiichiro Oda’s manga “ONE PIECE”, which has become a global phenomenon, has surpassed 600 million copies in circulation worldwide as of March 2026.

The newly revealed concept art captures a moment in Windmill Village, where the story’s protagonist, Monkey D. Luffy, spent his childhood. The scene shows Luffy enjoying a lively time at the village bar, PARTYS BAR, alongside the visiting Red-Hair Pirates captain Shanks and first mate Benn Beckman, and the bar’s owner, Makino.

Season 1 will cover approximately the first 50 chapters of the original manga, spanning seven episodes with a total runtime of around 300 minutes, leading up to Luffy’s encounter with Sanji, the sous chef of the floating restaurant Baratie.
