The live-action One Piece series that airs on Netflix is already preparing its second season. In recent weeks, a long list of actors and actresses who will appear in the new batch of episodes has been confirmed, although there are still some very important names to be revealed, such as who will be in charge of playing Dr. Kureha.
For a long time everything pointed to the fact that the role was going to be unquestionably for the actress. Jamie Lee CurtisShe herself confessed that she wanted to keep the role and even the showrunner of the series admitted that the script was being written with her in mind constantly, so it seemed that both parties were in complete agreement that it would become a reality.
However, unfortunately for all those who were hoping to see Jamie Lee Curtis in the new season of the series, that will not be the case. Becky Clements, the president of Tomorrow Studios, the producer of this adaptation, has confirmed exclusively to Deadline that it is true that the intention was to have her, but His schedule has completely prevented him from being able to participate.
She loves the show. She has too many movies and TV shows she’s going to be in, so our production dates aren’t going to work out. She definitely wanted to do it, but she had offers coming up and it’s become complicated.
In this sense, one might think that, perhaps, she could have been counted on for a third season if they had waited until then to introduce Doctor Kureha. However, Clements has advanced that They’ve already found another amazing actress who will keep the role, although for the moment he has not wanted to reveal the name of the chosen one.
While we wait to find out this and other details that are still up in the air, the second season of One Piece will premiere on Netflix sometime in 2025 and will cover the events of the Arabasta saga.
