One Piece is currently listed as “expiring” on Hulu’s website page for the series. Hulu Support has further confirmed that all of the One Piece content will be removed on April 28 from the streaming service.

The series has been a part of Hulu since mid-2009 when Funimation began streaming the simulcast of the series. Since that time, it has remained an extremely popular series, and has hosted both the dubbed and subbed episodes. As of this post, it remains in the top 100 most popular television series on Hulu, besting many major-network mainstays.

Now that the streaming rights are expiring on Hulu, maybe we can hope for a Netflix deal in the near future? Who knows. If you would like, you can submit your suggestion to Netflix via this link. Prior to this, One Piece was pulled from Toonami last month after airing on Adult Swim for nearly four years. It concluded with the last episode of the Thriller Bark arc.

Thanks to Sldy on Twitter for the heads up on this story.
