Netflix 'One Piece' anime series in development with Toei

One Piece is getting a new anime adaptation.

Titled The One Piece, the anime series will be produced by the renowned WIT Studio, recognized for their work on hit anime such as SPY x FAMILY and Attack on Titan (Season 1-3). 

Currently in production, The One Piece will be streamed worldwide exclusively on Netflix, marking a significant collaboration with The One Piece production committee, made up of representatives from Shueisha, Fuji Television Network, and Toei Animation Co.

Manga creator Eiichiro Oda is also part of the behind the scenes team on the new animated adaptation. 

With The One Piece, the committee aims to "provide viewers with a fresh yet familiar experience, utilising cutting-edge visual technology to reimagine Luffy’s adventures through the beloved East Blue saga." This is the same story in Oda’s manga, starting at the same plot point as both the existing anime and Netflix’s live-action adaptation. 

This series is separate from the existing One Piece anime series, produced by Toei Animation, which has been running since 1999.
