Eiichiro Oda, the visionary mastermind behind One Piece, is not only serving as an executive producer but has also emphasized that the series will not launch until he is entirely “satisfied” with its production.

Tomorrow Studios, a dynamic collaboration between renowned producer Marty Adelstein (known for works like Prison Break and Teen Wolf) and ITV Studios, is bringing this grand vision to life. Spearheaded by the talented writer Matt Owens (notable for his contributions to Luke Cage and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), the show promises an engaging narrative that captures the heart of One Piece. Leading the production as executive producers are Steven Maeda and Becky Clements, whose passion for the source material ensures a faithful and compelling adaptation.
