Netflix has already become synonymous with One Piece in the West and wants to cement that idea by bringing together in one place all the versions of this modern manga classic. And it’s going to do so by adding a new version. This time, a very unusual spinoff, because they’ve announced a LEGO version of One Piece. Something we’d never expect to see.
LEGO One Piece will once again recount the events we already saw in the different adaptations of the manga, but now with all the characters turned into LEGO. Consisting of two episodes covering the first two seasons of the live-action series, it will serve as a summary of the live-action series for people who don’t want to watch it or need a recap of it. Which is why Jacob Romero Gibson, who plays Usopp in the live action, serves as narrator in this version.
A franchise that keeps on growing
Meanwhile, the other versions aren’t slowing down. The third season of the live action has finished filming in South Africa and is expected to start streaming at some point in 2027. Also, at some point next year the new anime remake, The One Piece, is expected to premiere, starting with the East Blue Saga, and it’ll be handled by Wit Studio, the studio behind the anime adaptations of Attack on Titan and Spy x Family.
All this suggests that Netflix has found in One Piece one of their biggest franchises going forward. Doubling down on its popularity, it seems we’ll have One Piece for a long while. And if one thing seems clear, it’s that fans aren’t exactly going to get bored of Luffy and his crew. Or not while Oda continues the story.
