Long-anticipated Character Debuts in Season Two
It seems forever since we dove into the live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s famous pirate adventure, One Piece. Season one left us on a high note and we’ve been waiting for the second season. Many fans were keenly looking forward to one particular character – the quirky and brilliant Dr. Kureha. We know you’ve been eager to see who ends up playing this beloved character, and we’re here with the big reveal.
Katey Sagal Joins the Crew
That’s right, folks! Katey Sagal, who you might recognize from popular shows like ‘Married…with Children’ and ‘Sons of Anarchy,’ has been cast as Dr. Kureha. She takes up the banner where Jamie Lee Curtis had to drop it. Curtis showed interest in the role, but couldn’t fit it into her busy schedule, which would have required time in South Africa where filming is currently happening.
New Faces in the Pirate World
But Sagal is not the only new face to grace the pirate world. Mark Harelik, known for his excellent performance in ‘Presumed Innocent,’ is joining the cast as Dr. Hiriluk. It seems the Drum Island will be busy with doctors this season.
