On Thursday, August 31, 2023, at 12 a.m. PT/4 p.m. JST, the first season of One Piece debuted on Netflix. It introduced us to Monkey D. Luffy (Iaki Godoy), a teenage boy with rubber skin who aspires to rule the pirates. A motley gang of misfits, including Roronoa Zoro (Mackenyu), Nami (Emily Rudd), Usopp (Jacob Romero), and Sanji (Taz Skylar), joins Luffy as he conquers the sea. In quest of the elusive One Piece treasure, Luffy and his crew, who go by the name of the Straw Hats, travel from island to island. Naturally, no adventure is trouble-free. The Straw Hats’ opponents on their mission are fearsome foes that prevent them from winning the money.
The cast members that make up One Piece’s major ensemble include Vincent Regan, Ilia Isorel’s Paulino, Morgan Davies, Aidan Scott, Langley Kirkwood, Jeff Ward, Celeste Loots, Alexander Maniatis, McKinley Belcher III, Craig Fairbrass, Steven Ward, and Chioma Umeala. The show was made by Tomorrow Studios and Netflix in collaboration with Shueisha. With Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements joining Oda as executive producers, Matt Owens and Steven Maeda serve as writers, executive producers, and showrunners.
