One Piece has rallied a magnanimous fandom behind it through its manga and anime series throughout the past three decades. The effort was further magnified with the release of a live-action adaptation that brought some more global audience to its adventurous story of a lively pirate crew. The franchise is just growing its branches into different directions and projects after projects are announced to keep expanding Eiichiro Oda’s world. From the plethora of projects planned, something about Lego One Piece is gaining wind lately.

The internet is talking about a Lego One Piece project, and many are still unversed as to what this new project is.

Inspired by the popular manga series' live-action version, the LEGO Group and Netflix have collaborated to create Lego One Piece. The initiatives under this partnership include a whole range of Lego sets inspired by iconic scenes of the show (released on August 1, 2025), and a two-part animated special is scheduled to debut on September 29, 2026. 

This collaboration intends to bring the cherished One Piece universe to life for fans, making it an important occasion for both LEGO and anime lovers. The two-part special serves as an entertaining, family-friendly retelling of the memorable events from seasons 1 and 2 of the live-action pirate story. Viewers will get to see their favorite Straw Hat crew in a very Lego-like appearance, making their way to the Grand Line.

Produced in collaboration with the LEGO Group, Shueisha, and Atomic, this animated special recounts everything that has happened so far in the live action in the Lego-style of storytelling, which is full of humor with a dash of high-stakes action. It is the ideal introduction for recruits and a thrilling, fresh viewpoint for seasoned pirates. 

Fact Check: Is One Piece Ending in January 2027?

As thrilling as the arrival of Lego One Piece is, Netflix has given an additional reason to jump with joy with the announcement of season 3 of the live-action release schedule.

Netflix just confirmed the third season of the One Piece live-action adaptation, providing the official title and release schedule for the upcoming season. Season 3 will be titled One Piece: The Battle of Alabasta, and it will debut somewhere in 2027. With the title and release schedule, the streamer also unveiled the first look at the new season, giving the first glimpse of the journey ahead.

The announcement of the third season of the live-action series and the upcoming release of the Lego One Piece on September 29, 2026, clearly points to Netflix’s efforts to go as deep with the franchise as possible. And this interest from the streaming giant is understandable since the live-action version has received about 100 million views since its premiere and has a sizable, multigenerational fan base. With this, Lego One Piece seems to be just the start of the streamer's plans for the franchise.
