LEGO ONE PIECE arrives on Netflix on September 29, 2026. It is a two-part animated special that retells events from the first two seasons of Netflix’s live-action ONE PIECE, with the actors behind the Straw Hats returning to voice their brick-built counterparts. It is a new way through a familiar story, not a new arc after Season 2.

When and Where Does LEGO ONE PIECE Release?

Netflix lists September 29 as the release date and says the special is available only on Netflix. Its official description calls this a two-part special. Netflix has not specified a universal launch hour in the English-language guide, so local availability is best checked on the official title page on release day.

What Does the Special Retell?

Usopp tells Tony Tony Chopper about the Straw Hats’ adventures. According to Netflix, his account covers events from live-action Seasons 1 and 2, taking the crew from the East Blue into the Grand Line. Usopp’s point of view is the hook: viewers are revisiting those adventures through a character known for embellishing a good story.

Netflix says the approach is meant to welcome newcomers while giving existing viewers a different perspective. That makes it a possible entry point, but Netflix has not said it replaces either full live-action season. If you are following the Grand Line story, our Baroque Works explainer gives more context on one of the groups the Straw Hats encounter, with story details beyond this release guide.

Is LEGO ONE PIECE the Anime or THE ONE PIECE Remake?

No. This special is an animated retelling of Netflix’s live-action adaptation, made in partnership with the LEGO Group, Shueisha and Atomic Cartoons. It is separate from the long-running Japanese TV anime and from THE ONE PIECE, the WIT Studio remake that Netflix has announced as another project. Readers tracking the regular anime can find our separate ONE PIECE anime update.

Who Voices the Straw Hats?

Netflix confirms that the live-action Straw Hat performers voice their characters in both parts:

CharacterVoice actor
Monkey D. LuffyIñaki Godoy
NamiEmily Rudd
Roronoa ZoroMackenyu
UsoppJacob Romero
SanjiTaz Skylar
Tony Tony ChopperMikaela Hoover

The returning cast is a link to the live-action show, even though the special presents its adventures in a different visual style.

How Many Parts Are There, and Who Made Them?

There are two parts. Netflix’s main English-language guide confirms the format but does not give a clear runtime for each part, so there is no reliable episode-length figure to put on a watch plan yet.

Tom Hyndman is the showrunner, writer and an executive producer. Chelsea Ker directed both parts. ONE PIECE creator Eiichiro Oda is an executive producer. Netflix also credits Jill Wilfert, Keith Malone and Lars Danielsen for LEGO, plus Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements for Tomorrow Studios. The production partners are the LEGO Group, Shueisha and Atomic Cartoons.

Do You Need to Watch the Live-Action Seasons First?

Netflix presents the special as accessible to new viewers; it has not announced a viewing prerequisite. The story it retells comes from Seasons 1 and 2, though, so anyone wanting the complete live-action versions should watch those seasons themselves. The LEGO special is a retelling from Usopp’s perspective, not Season 3.

Netflix has separately announced live-action Season 3, ONE PIECE: The Battle of Alabasta, for 2027. Its WIT Studio remake, THE ONE PIECE, is another distinct production. Neither changes what this two-part September 29 special covers.
