Netflix's One Piece Season 2 Cast Revealed: Meet the New Icons!

The Straw Hats Are Back with New Faces!

Ahoy, anime enthusiasts! Grab your Straw Hats, because the Grand Line just got more interesting. Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s legendary One Piece has cast the second season, and trust me, it’s a lineup that’s worth its weight in Berry!

New Cast Additions: Who’s Joining the Crew?

Picture this: You’re navigating the tumultuous waters of the Grand Line. Suddenly, a marine’s smoke swirl ensnares your ship! Fear not—or maybe, do fear—because none other than Callum Kerr is stepping in as the enigmatic Smoker. Yes, folks, the marine captain with the ever-smoking cigars is about to make his big debut.

But that’s not all! Smoker’s loyal subordinate, Tashigi, is set to be played by the talented Julia Rehwald. With her signature glasses and fierce swordsmanship, you’ll want her on your side during a skirmish on the high seas.

Feeling a bit chilly? You might be crossing paths with Rob Colletti’s portrayal of the greedy, steel-mouthed tyrant Wapol. And what’s royalty without a valiant protector? Enter Ty Keogh as Dalton, the noble warrior with a bond so strong to his people, it’ll melt even the iciest of hearts—or rather, the snowiest.

Already Announced Characters: The Veteran Pirates

Hold on, we haven’t even gotten to the rest of the swashbuckling squad! These familiar faces were announced earlier and are sure to bring their A-game:

David Dastmalchian as the waxy trickster, Mr. 3
Jazzara Jaslyn as the buoyant bombshell, Miss Valentine
Camrus Johnson as the explosive Mr. 5
Daniel Lasker as the numerical enigma, Mr. 9
Clive Russell as the experienced Crocus—keep an eye out for his medical prowess
Werner Coetser as the daring giant, Dorry
Brendan Murray as his colossal counterpart, Brogy

Behind the Scenes: The Masterminds

While we’ve got our pirates and marines all set, let’s not forget the creative souls steering this ship. Season 2 will be sailing with Joe Tracz, known for his work on Percy Jackson and the Olympians, at the helm as writer, executive producer, and co-showrunner. Navigating alongside him is first season’s torchbearer Matt Owens. Although Steve Maeda moves to the role of executive producer, his influence will still loom large.

Produced by Tomorrow Studios, the partnership of Marty Adelstein (Prison Break, Teen Wolf) and ITV Studios, the live-action promises not to leave any stone unturned—or any Devil Fruit uneaten.

Filming is slated to kick off in June, with the grand voyage of the second season expected to hit our screens in 2025.
