The series stars an ensemble cast including Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, Jacob Romero Gibson, and Taz Skylar as the members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The first season was released on Netflix on August 31, 2023,[1] receiving positive reviews from critics and fans alike, praising the performances, writing, visual effects, and general fidelity to the source material.

[51] On September 7, 2023, Tomorrow Studios CEO Marty Adelstein revealed that the scripts for the second season are ready but filming could not begin until the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved.

[54] In February 2025, the Writers Guild of America West website listed a third season of One Piece as a 2025-2026 production, with Matt Owens and Joseph E. Tracz returning as showrunners and executive producers.

In a July 2023 open letter, Oda stated that there were numerous scenes he felt "weren't good enough to put out into the world", so the film crew re-shot them.

She made small changes to the original designs to either "spice up scenes with variation" or adjust due to safety concerns when filming the live action.

[61] The adaptation made several structural changes with Oda's approval, such as focusing on Garp and revealing his connection to Luffy much earlier as well as moving Arlong's introduction up and swapping him with Don Krieg's storyline.

[65] In November 2021, the main cast portraying the Straw Hat Pirates was revealed via a series of wanted posters: Iñaki Godoy as Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.

[66] In March 2022, Netflix added Morgan Davies as Koby, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino as Alvida, Aidan Scott as Helmeppo, Jeff Ward as Buggy, McKinley Belcher III as Arlong, Vincent Regan as Garp and Peter Gadiot as Shanks to the cast in recurring roles.

[15][67] June 2022 saw the addition of Langley Kirkwood as Captain Morgan, Celeste Loots as Kaya, Alexander Maniatis as Klahadore, Craig Fairbrass as Zeff, Steven Ward as Dracule Mihawk, and Chioma Umeala as Nojiko.

[7] On May 6, 2024, another video posted on the series' social media had Godoy celebrating the birthday of his character Luffy, ending by teasing the appearance of Mr.

[19] On June 27, Callum Kerr, Julia Rehwald, Rob Colletti and Ty Keogh were revealed for the roles of Smoker, Tashigi, Wapol and Dalton, respectively.

[92] On June 17, 2023, the series' premiere date and teaser trailer were revealed by the main cast in-person during the fourth edition of Tudum at Ibirapuera Park in São Paulo, Brazil.

[96] The presentation took place at the Ibirapuera Auditorium for an audience of 11,000 people, and was streamed live on Netflix's official YouTube channels to 78 million viewers.

[97] The three-day event was held between June 16 and 18 and featured a One Piece-themed immersive experience, which displayed a life-size replica of the pirateship Going Merry at the Pavilhão Ciccillo Matarazzo,[98] located inside the park.

The website's consensus reads: "One Piece captures the essence of its beloved source material with a charmingly big-hearted adaptation that should entertain longtime fans as well as patient newcomers.

[109] Brian Truitt of USA Today gave the series 3 out of 4 stars, writing, "In this energetic cross between Pirates of the Caribbean and Scott Pilgrim, with a dash of Doctor Who-style camp, a young crew of buccaneers goes searching for lost treasure and helps people along the way in a bighearted, swashbuckling answer to Stranger Things.

"[110] Lauren Milici of GamesRadar+ wrote that the series "breaks the live-action curse," adding that the directorial choices "make it more than clear that the show was created by fans, by people who genuinely wanted to see something they love brought to (a new) life.

[112] The Hollywood Reporter's Angie Han wrote, "By putting its faith in its characters' youthful joie de vivre, One Piece delivers enough fun to thrill the inner child in tweens and grown-ups alike.

"[113] Coleman Spilde of The Daily Beast felt the show "consistently surprises" although the "writing sometimes struggles to find a steady middle ground between the tweenage and adult demographics it's trying to appeal to".

[115] Dray also highlighted the amount of source material lore packed in – "even a cursory glance makes it abundantly clear that a lot of love and care has gone into all of its lush world building".

[115] Paste's Elijah Gonzalez thought the adaptation made the "wise decision" to handle a small amount of the source material by sticking with "the 'East Blue' arc, which spans the first 100 chapters of the manga and around 60 episodes of the anime".

[116] Gonzalez opined that this iteration "even occasionally feels more cohesive than the original" as it can introduce later aspects earlier "to create compelling overarching drama" and "aid certain backstories".

[120] Lloyd commented that Luffy is "meant to be the spirit of the tale, but turns tiresome in human form, where he's surely supposed to be delightful" and viewed the other characters joining him as "arbitrary and improbable".

[120] However, Bastién felt Godoy did "a tightrope walk of a role" as Luffy and observed that "there just aren't characters like him in white-colonial media – men whose kindness is essential to their being and for whom friendship is tantamount".

[117] David Opie of Empire stated "Rudd embodies the heart of the show with an emotive take on Nami" and "Mackenyu nails Roronoa Zoro's stoicism just as well as his intricate swordplay".

[121] Spilde viewed Godoy, Rudd, and Mackenyu as having "stellar chemistry" but that "the frenetic energy of the show falters when it becomes too contracted, spending more time on friendship than fighting".

[130] Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters stated that the show's debut met "a very high bar" and that, despite "haters looking for a reason to hate you" for it, to "be able to deliver it and have it be massively popular and a success around the world is amazing to see".
