BBC viewers will soon be able to watch 1,000 episodes of a top-rated series.

Attention all BBC viewers! Get ready to embark on an incredible journey as one of the best anime series ever is coming to your screens. That's right, the UK rights to the English dubbed versions of One Piece have been acquired by the broadcaster, and fans are in for a treat.

For those who may not be familiar, One Piece is a fantasy series following the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew. These fearless pirates set sail on the Grand Line in search of the legendary treasure known as the 'One Piece', with the ultimate goal of becoming the next King of the Pirates.

And now, thanks to BBC, viewers will soon be able to watch over 1,000 episodes of this epic saga on iPlayer. The first three sagas, totaling 206 episodes, will be available on September 1, with the remaining seven sagas to follow by the end of the year. This is the first time that dubbed versions of the show will be available in the UK, making it a highly anticipated event for fans.

Fiona Campbell, Controller of Youth Audiences, iPlayer and BBC Three, shared her excitement about bringing One Piece to UK audiences, stating, "With its captivating storytelling, rich characters, and global fanbase, One Piece has become a cultural phenomenon and we're thrilled to see how the fanbase will enjoy this huge canon of episodes available in English only on iPlayer."

And it's not just BBC that is raving about this series. One Piece has been praised as a "masterpiece" by fans since its launch in 1999. One viewer, Annie, declared it the "absolute undisputed king of worldbuilding", while Mora called it "peak" and a "masterpiece". @crimsonrossa, who is 500 chapters in, also shared their enthusiasm, stating that almost every arc is an "absolute banger" and that Oda, the creator of One Piece, "really created a masterpiece with this work."

In 2023, One Piece will also be adapted into a live-action series on Netflix, starring Inaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, and Taz Skylar. But for now, fans can catch all the action and adventure on BBC iPlayer starting September 1.
