The long-running One Piece anime has entered a multi-year broadcast hiatus, shifting the franchise's primary content delivery to streaming platforms. This schedule change means viewers will not see new episodes of the original Toei Animation series until 2027, fundamentally altering how fans consume the story during this interim period.
Toei Animation halts weekly broadcasts until 2027
Toei Animation has completed its first year on this new seasonal rhythm, with Episode 1180 airing on September 27 serving as the final installment of the current year. Toei Animation has halted the weekly broadcast of the One Piece anime to restructure its release schedule.
In the absence of new Toei episodes, Netflix is expanding its presence with distinct content offerings. A two-part LEGO special featuring the character Usopp is scheduled for release on September 29, providing a short-form diversion for the audience.
The most significant upcoming development is the launch of The One Piece remake by WIT Studio, which is set to debut on Netflix in February 2027. The live-action remake by WIT Studio is scheduled to launch in February 2027, serving as the main new visual content during the anime's break.
Following the 2027 remake, the third season of the animated game One Piece: The Grand Line is scheduled for release. A two-part LEGO special featuring Usopp will be released on Netflix on September 29, offering new content for fans while the anime is on hiatus.
