This release date aligns strategically with the growing excitement for Season 2 of the live-action series, which Netflix plans to debut in 2026.

Why is this collaboration significant?
This marks the first-ever partnership between LEGO and the ‘One Piece’ franchise, a milestone for both the toy brand and the global fanbase. Since its debut as a manga in 1997, ‘One Piece’ has expanded into a cultural phenomenon with over 1,000 anime episodes, multiple films, video games, and now, LEGO sets. Bringing the series into the LEGO universe represents a major step in making its rich storytelling accessible to even more fans.
Josh Simon, Netflix’s Vice President of Consumer Products and Experiences, emphasized the importance of this collaboration. “It’s an incredible opportunity for Netflix and the LEGO Group to deliver something so meaningful and authentic to ‘One Piece’ fans around the world,” Simon said, as quoted by News-Journal Online. He also highlighted the overwhelming positive feedback from fans when the collaboration was initially teased.
A look ahead to Season 2 of ‘One Piece’
While fans eagerly await the August release of the LEGO sets, excitement is also building for the second season of Netflix’s live-action adaptation. At the Netflix Tudum event in May 2025, the cast offered a sneak peek at Season 2, introducing Tony Tony Chopper, a fan-favorite character described as a “blue-nosed reindeer-boy hybrid.” Though an exact premiere date has yet to be announced, the season is slated for release in 2026, according to Lohud.
The LEGO ‘One Piece’ sets, with their intricate designs and cultural significance, are sure to deepen fans’ connection to this ever-evolving franchise.
