WIT Studio is actively producing two anime adaptations: the spring 2026 series Agents of the Four Seasons, which is mid-season and on schedule, and The One Piece, a Netflix remake set to debut in February 2027.
WIT Studio is currently managing two major productions that were both announced in the same week in May 2026. The studio is in the middle of airing Agents of the Four Seasons, a spring 2026 series that adapts Kana Akatsuki and Suoh's light novel. The series premiered on March 28, 2026, and as of May 16, 2026, it is on schedule with previews for episode 8 released two days before its May 16 broadcast. Ken Yamamoto directs, Ayumu Hisao writes the scripts, Namiko Torii designs the characters, and Kensuke Ushio composes the music. The light novel has four volumes released so far and is ongoing, with a manga adaptation running alongside it. Yen Press licenses both in English.
On the same day, WIT Studio's The One Piece was confirmed for a February 2027 Netflix debut with a first season of seven episodes running roughly 300 minutes total. The season adapts about the first 50 chapters of Eiichiro Oda's manga, covering the East Blue saga through the Baratie arc. The remake was first announced at Jump Festa '24 in December 2023. Director Masashi Koizuka leads the production, with assistant director Hideaki Abe, series composition by Taku Kishimoto, and character design shared by Kyoji Asano and Takatoshi Honda. Animation producer Ryoma Kawamura oversees the project. Producer Shinji Wada said in an interview that Oda supported revisiting the anime to connect with newer audiences.

Wit Studio released preview images for the eighth episode of Agents of the Four Seasons on Wednesday, two days before the episode airs on Saturday, May 16. The spring 2026 series adapts Kana Akatsuki and Suoh's light novel, which began publication under ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Bunko imprint in April 2021. Ken Yamamoto directs the adaptation, with Ayumu Hisao writing the scripts and Namiko Torii designing the characters. Kensuke Ushio composes the music. The story follows Hinagiku, the Agent of Spring, who disappeared ten years ago and took the season with her. She returns to restore the cycle and, as the myth demands, sends her love to Winter. The light novel has four volumes released so far and is ongoing. A manga adaptation by Nappa Komatsuda also runs alongside it. Yen Press licenses both the light novel and the manga in English. The anime premiered on March 28, 2026, and the new preview gives the first look at the episode before its weekend broadcast.
