Netflix unveils Lego One Piece special and anime remake teaser
Developing story first seen 2 hours ago
Netflix has unveiled a fresh wave of One Piece content, headlined by a new trailer for "Lego One Piece", a two-part Lego special retelling the live-action show's early events with its original voice cast ahead of the third season's 2027 release. The push also includes a first teaser image for "The One Piece", a manga-accurate anime remake by WIT Studio premiering in February 2027, underscoring the franchise's continued expansion across formats even as creator Eiichiro Oda has indicated the decade-spanning story is nearing its end.
The Lego special follows the Straw Hat Pirates' early voyages, including their clash with Buggy the Clown, framed as a tale recounted by Usopp and fast-forwarding to Chopper's Drum Island arc; it launches on 29 September. Also newly announced is "One Piece Grand Gourmet", a restaurant management game from Kairosoft due on mobile, Switch, Switch 2 and Steam on 23 October, while the manga has reached chapter 1190 and Toei's long-running anime is cutting its output to 26 episodes or fewer per year.

New here? Start with this
Netflix's live-action One Piece, based on Eiichiro Oda's long-running manga and anime about a young pirate named Monkey D. Luffy and his crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, is expanding with new spin-off content. The franchise has become one of the most popular in the world, spanning manga, a decades-old Toei anime series, and Netflix's live-action adaptation, which retells the same story with real actors.
The Straw Hats are a crew of pirates searching for a legendary treasure, and their journey has taken in adventures such as early clashes with rivals like Buggy the Clown and stops including Drum Island, where they meet the reindeer doctor Chopper. Netflix's live-action version has already covered some of this ground in its first two seasons, and further material, including a Lego-themed retelling and a separate straight anime remake from studio WIT, builds on that same story for existing and new audiences.
This matters because One Piece is a major, long-running franchise nearing the end of its original manga story after decades of publication, and its various adaptations, live-action, Lego, classic anime, and a new remake, mark different ways the same tale is being retold and extended across platforms.
