One Piece media franchise expansions

Overview

The One Piece franchise continues to expand through various media adaptations, merchandise, and ongoing series content. Netflix and the LEGO Group previously announced a non-canonical animated special, ‘LEGO One Piece,’ scheduled for September 2026.

The original anime remains in the Elbaf arc. Following the release of episode 1175 in August 2026, episode 1177, titled ‘Un despreciable juego de rehenes – Las exigencias descaradas de Sommers’, is scheduled for release on September 6, 2026, via Crunchyroll. Toei Animation is adjusting its production schedule for the long-running series, planning to limit output to a maximum of 26 episodes per year organized into two-course seasons, moving away from the previous weekly release format.

Distribution of the anime has expanded with its arrival on Disney+, which offers 96 episodes spanning three seasons up to the Drum Island Arc. This release includes the classic Spanish dub from the early 2000s.

Netflix has provided casting details for the third season of its live-action adaptation, ‘One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta.’ Production has wrapped in Cape Town, South Africa, with a scheduled return to Netflix in 2027. Additionally, Wit Studio is developing an ambitious remake of the series for Netflix, aiming to modernize the beginning of the story with episodes approximately 40 minutes in length.

In the manga, Chapter 1192 is expected to be released globally on September 6, 2026. Merchandise expansions include potential Nike collaborations and various collectibles from retailers like Amazon.
