Netflix’s Netflix Geeked Twitter account confirmed on Tuesday that production has officially begun for the Hollywood live-action series of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece manga. The post also shows two photos of the cast during a day of filming.
Steven Maeda, one of the executive producers for the series, hinted through some posts on his Twitter account on Sunday that filming for the series has begun. His first post shows a Straw Hat keychain with the text “The Day of the Beginning…,” while his second post shows a photo of an executive producer chair.
Netflix will exclusively stream the live-action series. The first season will have ten episodes. Oda will serve as an executive producer.

Tomorrow Studios, a partnership between producer Marty Adelstein (Prison Break, Teen Wolf) and ITV Studios, is producing the live-action series. Matt Owens (Luke Cage, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) is the show’s writer. Steven Maeda and Becky Clements are executive producers.
Adelstein stated in a video message shown at Jump Festa in 2017 that the live-action Hollywood television series adaptation of the manga will start with the East Blue arc and will “broaden from there.” Adelstein also stated that the series promises to create “a true One Piece” after he discussed the project with Oda personally.
The manga’s 100th compiled book volume launched in Japan in September 2021, and the 101st volume shipped in December 2021. Oda published the 1,000th chapter in January 2021.
The ongoing anime adaptation premiered in 1999. The anime’s 1,000th episode debuted in November 2021. The franchise also has an upcoming anime film titled One Piece Film Red that will open on August 6.
Synopsis
Gol D. Roger was known as the “Pirate King,” the strongest and most infamous being to have sailed the Grand Line. The capture and execution of Roger by the World Government brought a change throughout the world. His last words before his death revealed the existence of the greatest treasure in the world, One Piece. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates, men who dreamed of finding One Piece—which promises an unlimited amount of riches and fame—and quite possibly the pinnacle of glory and the title of the Pirate King.
Enter Monkey D. Luffy, a 17-year-old boy who defies your standard definition of a pirate. Rather than the popular persona of a wicked, hardened, toothless pirate ransacking villages for fun, Luffy’s reason for being a pirate is one of pure wonder: the thought of an exciting adventure that leads him to intriguing people and ultimately, the promised treasure. Following in the footsteps of his childhood hero, Luffy and his crew travel across the Grand Line, experiencing crazy adventures, unveiling dark mysteries and battling strong enemies, all in order to reach the most coveted of all fortunes—One Piece.
