The One Piece fanbase is abuzz with exciting news regarding new cast additions as filming of Season 2 of the live-action adaptation progresses. With Eiichiro Oda’s previous announcement to reveal the new additions this week, expectations were already higher than usual among the fanbase. Although the news that the Alabasta arc will not be adapted seemed to have disappointed many fans, the latest news regarding a new special cast addition to the team seems to have put them in a good mood again.

The new cast member who will play the role of Miss Wednesday is none other than Charithra Chandran, known for her role in Bridgerton.

The series is based on Eiichiro Oda’s manga of the same name, in which a young man named Monkey D. Luffy embarks on an adventurous journey to fulfill his dream of becoming the next Pirate King. Although there is already a very popular anime adaptation of the manga, fans also praised the production of the first season of the live-action series. Therefore, their expectations for the next season inevitably increased.

And now there is news of a number of new faces in this world such as Sendhil Ramamurthy as Nefertiti Cobra, Mark Harelik as Dr. Hiriluk, Dalton as Ty Keogh, Camrus Johnson as Mr. 5, Julia Rehwald as Tashigi and so on. Fans are waiting with bated breath for the next season in 2025.

With such a range of talent working together to bring one of the world’s most popular manga to life, it’s safe to say that fans are in for something very special. Of course, the final result won’t be seen until the show begins airing. In the meantime, stay connected with us to keep up to date with everything. One Piece related while filming progresses.
