Netflix Is Producing a Live-Action Adaptation of the Anime ONE PIECE

The creative team behind the hit manga and anime series One Piece has been working on developing a live-action adaptation for some time. Creator Eiichiro Oda previously said that they have been working with a Hollywood production studio to make this happen. He said he wanted to explore a live-action version of the series before he got too old to oversee the project.

Well, it looks like their project has gained some major traction as Oda has confirmed that the series has been picked up by Netflix and that the first season will consist of ten episodes. If the first season is a success, you can expect a second season of the new take on the Grand Line.

Fans of the anime have been waiting for an update on this project for a long time, and this is the best news possible! The fact that the creative team behind the anime are developing the live-action series is exciting because it will stay true to what has come before.

The story for One Piece follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, “a boy whose body gained the properties of rubber after unintentionally eating a Devil Fruit. With his crew of pirates, named the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy explores the Grand Line in search of the world's ultimate treasure known as ‘One Piece’ in order to become the next King of the Pirates.”
