Developments: 13. Netflix’s push to broaden its Japanese‑content slate continued in July 2026 with the release of a teaser for a two‑part LEGO One Piece animated mini‑series, slated for a global debut on 29 September 2026. Co‑produced with the LEGO Group and Atomic Cartoons, the series revisits the early East Blue adventures of the Straw Hat crew, narrated by Usopp and overseen by showrunner Tom Hyndman and creator Eiichiro Oda. To complement the launch, Netflix, LEGO and Walmart staged a live‑shopping broadcast on Walmart Live on 23 July, featuring exclusive LEGO One Piece sets sold only through Walmart and hosted by LEGO ambassadors Matticus Bricks and Danibob Studios, with assistance from Walmart’s AI guide Sparky. In early August, Netflix added the classic 1968 western *Hasta que llegó su hora* (Once Upon a Time in the West) to its streaming library, underscoring a broader strategy that pairs celebrated legacy titles with new franchise‑driven adaptations. Together, the LEGO One Piece series and the classic western illustrate Netflix’s dual focus on expanding family‑friendly, cross‑media offerings while enriching its overall content catalogue. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-02: Netflix expands catalog with classic western and LEGO One Piece series Netflix adds classic western 'Once Upon a Time in the West' and launches a LEGO One Piece miniseries, expanding its diverse streaming catalog. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/netflix-expands-catalog-with-classic-western-and-lego-one-piece-series ### 2026-07-23: LEGO One Piece collaboration spans Walmart live shopping event and Netflix series debut Walmart, Netflix and LEGO launch a live‑shopping event for the LEGO ONE PIECE collection, while Netflix also announces a LEGO ONE PIECE animated series debuting 29 Sept. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/lego-one-piece-collaboration-spans-walmart-live-shopping-event-and-netflix-series-debut ### 2026-07-19: Netflix Announces LEGO One Piece Animated Special for September 2026 Netflix will debut a two‑part LEGO‑animated One Piece special on 29 Sept 2026, retelling the live‑action’s first two seasons with Usopp narrating and the original cast voicing LEGO versions. 19 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/netflix-and-lego-launch-one-piece-animated-special-teaser ### 2026-07-18: Netflix's One Piece Live-Action Surpasses 1 Billion Hours, Inside Job Gains Viewership Post‑Cancellation Netflix’s One Piece live‑action tops 1 billion viewing hours, while cancelled series Inside Job logged 139.9 million hours between 2023‑2026, showing lasting audience interest. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/netflixs-one-piece-live-action-surpasses-1-billion-hours-inside-job-gains-viewership-postcancellatio ### 2026-07-15: New Animated Movies and Anime Series Slated for 2026‑2027 Five animated films debut in late 2026, while 2027 will see a third season of Dandadan, a second season of Delicious in Dungeon, and a Netflix One Piece adaptation. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/new-animated-movies-and-anime-series-slated-for-20262027 ### 2026-07-14: Netflix launches One Piece: Heroines spin‑off special Netflix released the *One Piece: Heroines* anime spin‑off on 11 July, spotlighting Nami, and confirmed a third season of its live‑action series for 2027. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/netflix-launches-one-piece-heroines-spinoff-special ### 2026-07-13: Netflix and studios launch wave of live‑action anime adaptations Netflix’s hit One Piece live‑action spurs a wave of anime adaptations, with confirmed projects like Naruto, Solo Leveling and My Hero Academia, and a rumored Demon Slayer series. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/netflix-and-studios-launch-wave-of-liveaction-anime-adaptations ### 2026-07-01: Netflix confirms One Piece live‑action Season 3 slated for 2027 Netflix says its live‑action One Piece season 3 finished filming in June 2026 and will debut in 2027, focusing on the Alabasta arc with Princess Vivi and villain Mr. 0. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/netflix-confirms-one-piece-liveaction-season-3-slated-for-2027 ### 2026-06-25: Netflix Sets February 2027 Release for Anime Remake “The One Piece” Netflix’s new anime remake ‘The One Piece’ will debut globally in February 2027, produced by WIT Studio, covering the East Blue saga in seven episodes with Mayumi Tanaka returning as Luffy. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/netflix-releases-trailer-for-one-piece-animated-remake ### 2026-06-23: Netflix unveils extensive anime slate featuring The Ribbon Hero, One Piece remake and Blue Eye Samurai sequel Netflix announced a slate of new anime at Annecy, including The Ribbon Hero film (Aug 8 2026), a One Piece remake (Feb 2026), Blue Eye Samurai season 2, Fool Night series and other projects. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/netflix-unveils-trailer-for-anime-film-the-ribbon-hero-debuting-aug-8-2026 ### 2026-06-23: Netflix announces One Piece anime remake debuting February 2027 Netflix’s new One Piece anime remake, produced by WIT Studio, will debut worldwide on Netflix in February 2027 with seven episodes covering the East Blue arc;
