WIT Studio's THE ONE PIECE Sets February 2027 Netflix Debut in First Teaser

What was announced

THE ONE PIECE, a from-scratch anime remake of Eiichiro Oda's pirate epic from WIT Studio, will premiere worldwide on Netflix in February 2027. The streamer and the project's official accounts confirmed the date on June 24 alongside the release of a first teaser trailer. Per Netflix, the series reimagines Luffy's East Blue adventure through, in its words, "the lens of modern production technology."

A seven-episode first season

According to the official One Piece staff account, Season 1 will run seven episodes for a combined runtime of roughly 300 minutes, adapting the first 50 chapters of the manga, from the opening Romance Dawn arc up to Luffy's first meeting with Sanji. Anime News Network reports the debut episode is titled "Romance Dawn." Netflix typically releases its anime seasons all at once, so all seven episodes are expected to arrive together in February 2027.

Mayumi Tanaka returns as Luffy

The headline for longtime fans is in the casting. Mayumi Tanaka, who has voiced Monkey D. Luffy in the long-running One Piece TV anime since 1999, reprises the role for the remake. The official accounts confirmed her return as part of the teaser reveal, a thread of continuity to the version many fans grew up with.

The studio and staff

THE ONE PIECE is animated by WIT Studio, the team behind Attack on Titan and Spy x Family, and directed by Masashi Koizuka, an Attack on Titan veteran. Per Anime News Network, the staff also includes series composer Taku Kishimoto, character designers Kyoji Asano and Takatoshi Honda, and composer Yuki Hayashi. Koizuka has signaled the remake will lean into the manga's heavier themes more directly than the 1999 series did.

Why it matters

The original One Piece anime has aired continuously since 1999 and is one of the most-watched series in the medium, so a complete, modern remake is a major swing for both WIT Studio and Netflix. Restarting from Romance Dawn gives newcomers a clean entry point while promising existing fans a sharper, less-edited retelling of the East Blue saga. After three years of anticipation since the project was first teased, fans finally have a date to circle.
