New One Piece Netflix Announcements Expand Universe


Netflix made a number of One Piece announcements today, expanding the One Piece universe with a surprise animated special.

Lego One Piece hits Netflix on September 29, 2026 as a two-part special. A Netflix first, this animated special produced in partnership with the LEGO Group, Shueisha, and Atomic, “retells the epic events of the first two seasons of the live action One Piece, in a way only the LEGO Group can — jam-packed with comedy, high-stakes thrills, and brick-built action that is the perfect entryway for new recruits and an exciting new perspective for veteran pirates.”

Meanwhile, Season 3 of the live-action series has an official title: One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta. It’s due out on Netflix in 2027.

Here’s the official blurb:

The horizon is looking even brighter as we officially confirm that Season 3 of the live-action series, created in partnership with Shueisha and produced by Tomorrow Studios, will debut in 2027. To celebrate, we are sharing a first look at the next chapter with the reveal of the official season title, One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta, and a sneak peek at the journey ahead. In this upcoming season, war is coming for Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat crew in the desert kingdom of Alabasta, Princess Vivi’s homeland. A rebellion threatens to tear the nation apart, fueled in secret by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the ruthless Sir Crocodile, and his underground syndicate Baroque Works, who seek to conquer Alabasta for themselves. In a season defined by unbreakable bonds and impossible choices, the Straw Hats must face a brewing civil war and a powerful warlord to save Vivi’s kingdom before it crumbles into the sand. Fans can look forward to formidable new enemies and brand-new worlds where the stakes have never been higher.

“The Alabasta saga is one of the best-loved stories in all of One Piece — and one of our personal favorite arcs — so it’s a huge honor to bring it to life,” said Joe Tracz and Ian Stokes, One Piece co-showrunners. “Season 3 builds on everything we’ve done before to tell a war story that’s epic and emotional, spectacular and surprising. We can’t wait for fans to join us in Alabasta, where the stakes are high… and the ducks are big.”

And finally, we have a first look at The One Piece, a new anime saga from WIT Studio. Here’s the official blurb:

Currently in production in collaboration with Shueisha, Toei Animation and Fuji Television Network, this reimagining of the iconic East Blue saga provides a fresh yet familiar lens on Oda’s rich world-building. The series utilizes cutting-edge visual technology to bring the legendary start of Luffy’s quest to a new generation.
