The live-action series is based on the manga classic and will be co-produced by Tomorrow Studios (who created the Netflix adaptation of Cowboy Bebop) and One Piece publisher, Shueisha.

Eiichiro Oda, the author of the manga series, will also serve as an executive producer along with Matt Owens, Steven Maeda, Marty Adelstein, and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios.
